Produce effective communications materials for the Protected Site Strategies (PSS) programme. These will feed into the second iteration of the PSS Advisory Guidance.

This tender for communications materials for Natural England's Protected Site Strategies program suffers from critical deficiencies, including inaccessible key documents and a complete absence of evaluation criteria, severely impacting its fairness and practicality for potential bidders.

Legal compliance is significantly compromised by the inaccessibility of critical tender documents such as the 'Tender Notice' and 'Request for Quotation'. The absence of explicitly stated mandatory exclusion grounds also presents a compliance gap. While the procedure type and CPV code are clear, these document access issues are fundamental.

The description of the required services and the AI-extracted technical requirements are reasonably clear. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a major clarity issue, as bidders cannot understand how their proposals will be assessed, making it difficult to prepare a targeted bid.

While basic information like title, reference, organization, value, and deadlines are provided, the tender is incomplete due to the inaccessibility of several key documents. Furthermore, the explicit lack of evaluation criteria and the undefined 'Divided into Parts' characteristic significantly reduce its completeness.

Fairness is severely undermined by the inability to access critical tender documents, which prevents equal access to information for all bidders. The complete absence of evaluation criteria also makes the assessment process non-transparent and potentially subjective. The lack of e-submission further limits equal access.

The practicality of this tender is very low due to the critical issue of inaccessible documents, which makes it impossible for bidders to fully understand and prepare a submission. The lack of electronic submission also adds a practical barrier, though the contract start date and duration are clearly specified.

Most key fields are populated, and dates (submission deadline, contract start, duration) are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The mention of 'Divided into Parts' without further detail is a minor inconsistency, but overall, the available data is consistent.

While the subject matter of the tender (Protected Site Strategies) is inherently environmental, the tender documentation itself does not include specific green procurement criteria, social aspects, or an innovation focus in its requirements or evaluation, thus not actively promoting sustainability through the procurement process.
