Legal Compliance100/100
The tender uses a 'Restricted' and 'Competitive flexible procedure,' which are valid. However, the absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, the complete lack of tender documents, and missing evaluation criteria represent significant legal compliance deficiencies for a procurement of this scale and complexity.
•No explicit mandatory exclusion grounds mentioned in the tender notice.
•Complete absence of tender documents (0 total documents).
Clarity40/100
The project description and the high-level requirements are generally clear regarding the need for a COTS SaaS debt management system. However, the overall clarity is severely undermined by a critical discrepancy and currency mismatch in the estimated contract values, and the absence of any detailed tender documents.
•Significant discrepancy and currency mismatch in estimated contract values (EUR vs. GBP, and different GBP figures).
•Overall clarity is compromised by the absence of detailed tender documents.
Completeness83/100
This tender is critically incomplete. The notice provides only basic information and a list of high-level requirements, but all essential tender documents, including detailed specifications, terms and conditions, and instructions for bidders, are entirely missing. This renders the tender unworkable for potential suppliers.
•Complete absence of all tender documents (0 total documents).
•Missing detailed functional and non-functional requirements.
Fairness60/100
The requirement for a COTS SaaS solution and UK hosting are generally acceptable. However, the highly specific requirement for the solution to 'enable the DWP to recover over £2 billion of debt annually' could potentially be seen as tailoring, favoring suppliers with existing, proven large-scale government debt recovery solutions. The absence of evaluation criteria also prevents an assessment of fairness in the selection process.
•Potential for tailoring due to the highly specific £2 billion annual debt recovery target without further context on assessment methodology.
•Inability to assess fairness of evaluation criteria due to their absence.
Practicality40/100
From a practical standpoint, this tender is unfeasible for suppliers. Without any attached documents, detailed specifications, or evaluation criteria, it is impossible for interested parties to understand the full scope, prepare a compliant and competitive bid, or accurately assess the financial implications. The financial value discrepancy further complicates practical planning.
•Impractical for bidders to prepare a meaningful response without full tender documents.
•Significant financial value discrepancy creates practical challenges for financial planning.
Data Consistency100/100
There is a critical inconsistency in the estimated contract value. The 'Estimated Value' at the top is 95,760,000.00 EUR, while the description states an 'Initial Term' value of £47,000,000.00 and a 'total contract value (inclusive of any options)' of £79,800,000.00. This discrepancy in figures and currency is a major data consistency issue.
•Significant discrepancy and currency mismatch in estimated contract values (EUR vs. GBP, and different GBP figures).
Sustainability25/100
The tender highlights an 'Innovation Focus,' which is positive. However, the automated check results indicate a lack of explicit green procurement or social criteria, representing a missed opportunity for a contract of this magnitude to contribute to broader sustainability goals.
•Lack of explicit green procurement criteria.
•Lack of explicit social criteria.
