Tender Quality Score

This tender outlines the creation of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for health physics professional resources across multiple nuclear entities, but suffers from a critical lack of comprehensive documentation and essential procurement details.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance100/100

The tender's description of a 'Restricted procedure' for DPS qualification is unusual, as DPS is typically an open procedure, potentially raising legal compliance questions regarding competition principles. Mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements are not specified, which are fundamental aspects of public procurement.

Unusual 'Restricted procedure' for DPS qualification, contradicting the open nature of DPS
Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Clarity40/100

While the service categories are broadly defined, the complete absence of detailed tender documents means specific requirements, scope, and expectations for each category are critically unclear, hindering bidder understanding and preparation.

Lack of detailed requirements for each service category due to missing documents
Unclear implications of 'Restricted procedure' for DPS qualification
Completeness83/100

The tender is critically incomplete, lacking essential documents, detailed evaluation criteria, financial requirements, and specific submission instructions beyond a deadline. This makes it impossible for potential bidders to formulate a compliant response.

No tender documents attached or available
Missing evaluation criteria for DPS qualification
Fairness80/100

The absence of evaluation criteria and detailed requirements makes it impossible to assess fairness. The broad scope, combining 'health physics professional resources' with 'manual assistance in decommissioning and waste management operations,' alongside the 'Restricted' approach for DPS qualification, could inadvertently limit competition and favor larger, multi-service providers, potentially tailoring the tender.

Absence of evaluation criteria compromises fairness and transparency
Broad scope combining professional and manual services may favor larger, less specialized firms (potential tailoring concern)
Practicality40/100

The tender is highly impractical for potential bidders due to the complete absence of supporting documents and detailed instructions. Without these, it is impossible to prepare a compliant and competitive application, rendering the process unworkable.

Impractical for bidders due to missing documents and instructions, making participation impossible
Data Consistency100/100

A significant inconsistency lies in the stated 'Restricted procedure' for qualifying for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), which by nature is typically an open and continuously accessible system. This procedural conflict creates confusion.

Inconsistency between 'Restricted procedure' and the typical open nature of a DPS
Sustainability0/100

No information regarding environmental, social, or innovation criteria is provided, indicating a lack of focus on sustainability aspects in this procurement.

No sustainability criteria specified (green, social, innovation)

Strengths

Clear identification of the need for health physics professional resources
High estimated value indicating a significant opportunity
Collaborative procurement across multiple nuclear entities
Clear categorization of services within the DPS
Long contract duration (89 months) offers stability for suppliers

Concerns

Critical absence of all tender documents, making participation impossible
Lack of specified evaluation criteria for DPS qualification
Unusual application of a 'Restricted procedure' for DPS qualification, potentially limiting competition
Missing financial requirements for bidders
Broad scope combining professional and manual services may favor larger, less specialized firms (potential tailoring concern)

Recommendations

1. Immediately publish all comprehensive tender documents, including detailed scope and requirements.
2. Clearly define and publish the evaluation criteria for DPS qualification to ensure transparency and fairness.
3. Clarify the rationale for using a 'Restricted procedure' for DPS qualification or consider transitioning to an open procedure.
