Contract for Safe Supported Accommodation for those Experiencing Domestic Abuse (Retender)

This market engagement notice for a retender demonstrates good clarity and a strong social focus, but is significantly hampered by missing key formal information and the absence of electronic submission capabilities.

The notice lacks a clearly defined procedure type and liable person, which are fundamental for legal compliance, even for a market engagement notice. While the CPV code is appropriate and no disputes are present, these formal omissions reduce the overall compliance score.

The description of the service and the purpose of the market engagement is exceptionally clear and unambiguous. Requirements for participation in the market engagement are well-documented and understandable, which is excellent for this planning stage.

While basic information like title, reference, organization, deadlines, and duration are present, critical fields such as 'Liable Person', 'Type', and 'Procedure' are missing. The estimated value is classified, which, while permitted, reduces overall completeness and transparency.

The classified estimated value reduces transparency for potential bidders. A significant concern for fairness is the lack of electronic submission, which can create barriers to equal access in modern procurement. However, the requirements themselves appear generic and not tailored.

The absence of electronic submission is a major practical drawback for a procurement activity in 2026, hindering efficiency and accessibility for providers. While contract dates and duration are clear, the lack of e-submission significantly impacts practicality.

Several key fields, including 'Liable Person', 'Type', 'Procedure', and 'reveal date', are unpopulated, indicating inconsistencies in data provision. While existing dates and other populated fields are logical, these gaps reduce the overall data consistency.

The tender's core purpose, providing safe supported accommodation for domestic abuse victim-survivors, demonstrates a very strong inherent social focus. However, it lacks explicit criteria for green procurement or innovation, which are increasingly important aspects of modern sustainable procurement.
