Legal Compliance75/100
The tender clearly defines the procedure as 'Open procedure' and states compliance with the 'Procurement Act 2023,' which is appropriate for a UK entity. The CPV code is relevant, and no disputes are noted. While specific mandatory exclusion and eligibility grounds are not detailed in the provided snippets, bidders are directed to the full ITT, implying their existence in the complete documentation. The 25-day submission period is reasonable.
•Lack of explicit detail on mandatory exclusion and eligibility grounds in the provided snippets.
Clarity55/100
The description of the Lw-DED system and its technical requirements is clear and well-articulated, outlining the desired capabilities and strategic purpose. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria is a significant clarity deficiency, making it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed. Explicit financial and eligibility requirements are also noted as missing from the snippets.
•No evaluation criteria specified.
•Eligibility and financial requirements not explicitly detailed in snippets.
Completeness65/100
Basic information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, contract duration, and start date are all clearly provided. The tender also lists 5 associated documents. However, the critical omission of evaluation criteria, along with the lack of explicit details for mandatory exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements in the provided snippets, significantly reduces the overall completeness for a comprehensive tender overview.
•Missing evaluation criteria.
•Explicit details for mandatory exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements are not provided in the snippets.
Fairness55/100
The tender promotes fairness through the use of an e-tendering system for document access, questions, and submission, ensuring equal access. The estimated value is disclosed, and the technical requirements appear functional rather than tailored. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a major concern for fairness and transparency, as it introduces subjectivity into the assessment process and prevents bidders from optimizing their proposals effectively.
•No evaluation criteria specified, which compromises transparency and objectivity in evaluation.
Practicality90/100
This tender demonstrates strong practicality. It fully supports electronic submission via a dedicated e-tendering system, provides a clear URL for access, and specifies the contract start date and duration. Financing information (estimated value) is also available. These elements streamline the bidding process for potential suppliers.
Data Consistency90/100
The provided data is highly consistent and logical across all fields. Key information such as title, reference, organization, deadlines, and financial details are populated without contradictions. There are no reported disputes or suspensions, and dates are logically ordered.
Sustainability45/100
The tender does not explicitly incorporate green procurement, social aspects, or specific innovation criteria for bidders. While the procurement of an Lw-DED system itself contributes to advanced manufacturing and technological development, which has an inherent innovation aspect for the AMRC's purpose, these are not framed as sustainability requirements for the tender responses. It is not indicated as EU-funded.
•No explicit green procurement or social criteria.
•Innovation focus is on the technology's purpose, not as a specific tender requirement for bidders.
