C25064 - Psychological Wellbeing Service

This tender provides core information and leverages an e-procurement portal, but suffers from a critical lack of specified evaluation criteria and explicit mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided summary, alongside a failed document download.

The tender appears compliant for a below-threshold open procedure, with a clear procedure type and appropriate CPV code. However, the lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds in the summary and the 'Value Classified: Yes' flag despite the value being disclosed are minor concerns.

The service description is clear, and AI-extracted requirements are understandable. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria and the need to refer to full documentation for mandatory exclusion grounds significantly reduce the clarity of the provided tender overview.

Basic information, deadlines, value, and duration are provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the explicit absence of evaluation criteria, the lack of detail on how it's 'Divided into Parts,' and the critical failure to download the primary 'Tender Notice' document.

The use of an e-procurement portal and disclosed value are positive for fairness. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria is a major transparency issue, preventing fair and objective assessment of bids. The failed document download also raises concerns about equal access to information.

Electronic submission is clearly supported via the Kent Business Portal, and direct URLs are provided. Key dates like contract start and duration are specified, enhancing practicality for bidders. The failed document download is a practical hurdle.

Key fields are populated, and dates are logical. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. A minor inconsistency is the 'Value Classified: Yes' flag despite the value being explicitly stated. The automated check's 'No e-submission' contradicts the tender description.

The tender focuses on a service with inherent social benefits for employees. However, it does not explicitly incorporate broader green procurement, social clauses for bidders, or innovation-focused criteria, which represents a missed opportunity for enhanced sustainability impact.
