Legal Compliance100/100
The tender specifies a 'Restricted' type and 'Competitive flexible procedure,' which are standard. However, the absence of specified mandatory exclusion grounds and eligibility requirements in the provided extract, coupled with the complete lack of tender documents, makes it impossible to assess full legal compliance or for bidders to prepare compliant offers.
•Absence of specified mandatory exclusion grounds.
•Absence of specified eligibility requirements.
Clarity40/100
The service description is clear and detailed regarding the scope of care, target group, and required approaches (trauma-informed, person-centred, strength-based). The dual-location scenario and the need for provider flexibility are also clearly articulated. However, the overall clarity for a potential bidder is severely compromised by the absence of any accompanying tender documents.
•Lack of full tender documents makes it impossible for bidders to understand the complete requirements and submission process.
Completeness83/100
This is the weakest aspect. The tender extract explicitly states that mandatory exclusion grounds and eligibility requirements are 'Not specified.' Crucially, the complete absence of any tender documents and evaluation criteria (as flagged by automated checks) renders the tender highly incomplete from a bidder's perspective, making it challenging to formulate a comprehensive and compliant bid.
•No tender documents provided.
•Missing mandatory exclusion grounds.
Fairness60/100
The technical capability requirements are specific and relevant to the complex nature of the service. However, the absence of detailed evaluation criteria and comprehensive tender documents creates a significant risk of subjective assessment and could undermine fair competition. While 'Innovation Focus' is mentioned, without specific requirements or evaluation methods, its assessment could be inconsistent.
•Absence of detailed evaluation criteria could lead to subjective assessment.
•The 'Innovation Focus' is stated but lacks corresponding requirements or evaluation methods, potentially leading to inconsistent assessment.
Practicality40/100
The service requirements are practical and well-defined for the target group. The flexibility required for the dual-location scenario (Hanley Gardens / Beaumont Rise) is a practical operational consideration for the Council. However, the complete lack of tender documents makes it highly impractical for potential bidders to prepare a comprehensive, compliant, and competitive offer.
•Lack of tender documents makes it impractical for potential bidders to prepare comprehensive proposals.
•The requirement for flexibility regarding two sites and potential transition places a high operational demand on the provider, which might limit the pool of bidders.
Data Consistency100/100
Within the provided extract, the information is consistent. The service description aligns with the technical requirements, and financial details are clearly stated.
Sustainability25/100
The automated check indicates 'Not green procurement' and 'No social criteria.' Given the nature of the service (care and support for vulnerable adults), the absence of specified social criteria is a significant oversight, as these would be highly relevant and expected for a public procurement of this type.
•Absence of specified social criteria, which are highly relevant for a social care service.
•Absence of green procurement criteria.
