Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear description of the required works but suffers from critical omissions regarding evaluation criteria, significantly impacting fairness and transparency. While the project's social objectives are commendable, the procurement process lacks modern e-submission capabilities and explicit sustainability criteria.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes appropriately, and there are no reported disputes. However, the absence of a reveal date and, more critically, the complete lack of specified evaluation criteria represent significant compliance gaps regarding transparency and fair competition under procurement regulations.

Missing reveal date
No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity80/100

The description of the scope of work and the technical requirements are very clear, detailed, and unambiguous, allowing potential bidders to understand the project's technical demands. However, the absence of evaluation criteria creates a significant lack of clarity regarding how bids will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Most essential information such as title, organization, reference, value, duration, and location is provided. Requirements (eligibility, technical, submission) are also well-defined. Nevertheless, the critical omission of evaluation criteria and the missing 'Liable Person' and reveal date make the tender incomplete for a comprehensive bid submission.

No evaluation criteria specified
Missing reveal date
Fairness40/100

While the tender value is disclosed and documents are accessible, the complete absence of evaluation criteria severely compromises fairness and transparency, as bidders cannot understand the basis for award decisions. The lack of e-submission also limits equal access and efficiency for potential suppliers.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission
Practicality65/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified, which is practical for planning. However, the absence of electronic submission is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for bidders and the contracting authority.

No e-submission
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields are largely populated, and dates (submission, contract start, duration) are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes. Minor inconsistencies include missing codes for procedure type and a slight discrepancy between the EUR and GBP estimated values across documents.

Missing codes for procedure type
Slight inconsistency in estimated value (EUR vs GBP)
Sustainability50/100

The project's stated purpose aligns with important social objectives (community safety, anti-social behaviour). The inclusion of 'Cloud Software' for access control suggests a modern approach. However, the tender explicitly lacks specific green procurement, broader social, or innovation criteria for bidders to address in their proposals.

Not green procurement
No social criteria (for bidders)
