Rowley Way Estate Heating Infrastructure Works (re-issue)

This tender for heating infrastructure works is well-described with clear technical and financial requirements, but suffers from critical omissions regarding evaluation criteria and the lack of e-submission, impacting clarity and fairness.

The tender generally adheres to legal requirements with a reasonable submission period and appropriate CPV codes. However, the explicit mention of mandatory exclusion grounds is missing, and the reveal date is not provided, which are minor transparency and compliance gaps.

The project description and AI-extracted requirements are clear and specific, detailing the scope of works and necessary capabilities. A significant drawback is the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria, making it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed.

The tender provides most essential information including title, reference, organization, value, duration, and location. Key requirements are defined, and documents are available. However, the lack of evaluation criteria and explicit mandatory exclusion grounds represents a notable gap in completeness.

The tender benefits from full document access, disclosed value, and a very generous submission deadline. The requirements do not appear to be tailored. However, the absence of evaluation criteria severely compromises transparency and fairness, and the lack of e-submission creates an unnecessary barrier to equal access.

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified, and financing information is available. A significant practical concern is the lack of electronic submission support, which is a standard expectation for modern procurement processes in 2026.

The tender data is largely consistent, with no reported disputes or suspensions, and logical dates where the submission deadline aligns with the contract start. Minor inconsistencies include empty fields for the liable person and missing codes for the procedure type.

The tender does not explicitly incorporate any green procurement, social, or innovation-focused criteria. It is also not indicated as EU-funded, which often drives higher sustainability standards.
