Legal Compliance100/100
The tender lacks explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, which is a basic requirement. The eligibility criterion requiring bidders to be a 'UK Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME)' is highly restrictive and raises significant concerns regarding compliance with principles of non-discrimination and proportionality in public procurement, especially for an 'Open' procedure.
•No specific mandatory exclusion grounds provided.
•Eligibility restricted to 'UK Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME)' potentially violating non-discrimination principles.
Clarity40/100
The description of services and technical requirements are generally clear. However, there is an inconsistency in the stated estimated value, appearing as EUR 144,000.00 in the financial information and £120,000 in the financial requirements, which needs clarification.
•Inconsistency in estimated contract value currency (EUR vs. GBP).
Completeness83/100
This tender is critically incomplete. Despite the previous tender being withdrawn for 'non-inclusion of the associated documents', this current notice explicitly states 'DOCUMENTS (0 total)'. This makes it impossible for suppliers to prepare a bid. Furthermore, the absence of evaluation criteria is a fundamental flaw, as bidders cannot understand how their proposals will be assessed.
•Complete absence of associated tender documents.
•Missing evaluation criteria.
Fairness60/100
The requirement for bidders to be a 'UK Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME)' is a significant barrier to fair competition, excluding larger UK companies and all non-UK entities. The lack of evaluation criteria also compromises the transparency and fairness of the assessment process, as bidders cannot understand the basis for selection.
•Eligibility restricted to 'UK Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME)' limits fair competition and may be tailored.
•Absence of evaluation criteria compromises transparency and fairness.
Practicality40/100
From a supplier's perspective, the tender is impractical to respond to due to the complete absence of tender documents. Without these, it is impossible to understand the full scope, terms, and conditions, or to prepare a compliant and competitive bid.
•Impractical for suppliers to bid due to missing tender documents.
Data Consistency100/100
A notable inconsistency exists in the estimated contract value, which is stated as EUR 144,000.00 in the financial information section and £120,000 in the financial requirements. While numerically similar, the currency discrepancy is problematic.
•Inconsistent currency for estimated contract value (EUR vs. GBP).
Sustainability25/100
The tender mentions 'Social Criteria' as a characteristic, which is a positive aspect for sustainability. However, it does not explicitly focus on green procurement or innovation, as noted by automated checks.
