Sefton Council Domestic Abuse Refuge Service

This tender for a Domestic Abuse Refuge Service demonstrates good foundational information but suffers from critical omissions regarding evaluation criteria and detailed legal requirements, impacting clarity and fairness. The lack of e-submission and inconsistent financial data are also notable concerns.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes appropriately, and no disputes are reported. However, the absence of a reveal date and the lack of explicit mandatory exclusion and eligibility grounds in the AI summary indicate potential gaps in legal disclosure or detailed documentation.

The service description is clear and unambiguous. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly hinders clarity for potential bidders. The AI-extracted requirements, while clear, are high-level and lack comprehensive detail for eligibility, exclusion, and performance conditions.

Most basic information, including title, organization, value, duration, and location, is provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the explicit absence of evaluation criteria and the high-level nature of the AI-extracted eligibility and exclusion requirements.

The lack of specified evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as bidders cannot objectively understand how their proposals will be assessed. Additionally, the absence of e-submission capabilities may limit equal access for all potential suppliers.

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified, and financing information (estimated value) is available. However, the lack of electronic submission support is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement processes.

While most key fields are populated and dates are logical, there is a notable inconsistency in the estimated value, which is stated in EUR in the basic information but in GBP with a different amount in the document summaries. Minor issues include missing codes for 'Type' and 'Procedure' and an empty 'Liable Person' field.

The service itself addresses a critical social need (domestic abuse refuge). However, the tender documentation does not explicitly incorporate broader green procurement, innovation focus, or additional social criteria beyond the core service delivery.
