Legal Compliance100/100
The tender lacks explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, which are standard in public procurement. The absence of detailed financial requirements also raises questions regarding due diligence and the assessment of bidder financial stability.
•Absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds.
•Lack of detailed financial requirements (e.g., turnover, financial stability, insurance).
Clarity40/100
While the service scope is generally described, the requirements for technical capability are broad and lack specific, measurable criteria. The complete absence of tender documents makes it impossible for bidders to fully understand the detailed expectations and scope of work.
•Vague technical capability requirements (e.g., 'proactive in contractual innovation,' 'high-quality performance') lacking measurable criteria.
•Complete absence of tender documents, specifications, and PSQ content.
Completeness83/100
The tender is severely incomplete. Crucial information such as detailed specifications, terms and conditions, evaluation criteria, and the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PSQ) itself are missing, rendering it impractical for bidders.
•No tender documents or detailed specifications provided.
•Missing detailed evaluation criteria.
Fairness60/100
The reservation of the right to refine award criteria introduces significant uncertainty and undermines fairness. The complete lack of accessible tender documents and evaluation criteria prevents potential bidders from preparing competitive offers on an equal footing. The requirement to cover 100% of Thames Water's portfolio, combined with the lack of detailed information, could disproportionately favor large, established providers or incumbents.
•Reservation of the right to refine award criteria, undermining transparency and equal treatment.
•Absence of accessible tender documents and detailed evaluation criteria.
Practicality40/100
The tender is impractical for potential bidders due to the complete absence of essential documentation. Without the PSQ, specifications, and evaluation criteria, it is impossible to prepare a compliant and competitive submission.
•Impossibility for bidders to prepare submissions without tender documents.
•Lack of clarity on the actual PSQ content and submission process beyond the deadline.
Data Consistency100/100
The provided information is internally consistent, but the overall lack of detail and missing documents make it difficult to assess consistency with a full tender package.
•None identified within the provided text, but the lack of documents prevents a full assessment.
Sustainability25/100
The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement or social criteria, which is a missed opportunity for a contract of this value and duration, especially for a utility company.
•No explicit green procurement criteria.
•No explicit social criteria.
