Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear description of services and sites but suffers from significant incompleteness due to the absence of full tender documents and evaluation criteria, which are critical for a fair and transparent procurement process.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance100/100

The tender specifies an Open procedure and standard operative qualifications (SIA, DBS, First Aid), which are generally compliant. However, the explicit absence of stated mandatory exclusion grounds and the lack of full tender documents are significant legal compliance issues.

Mandatory exclusion grounds are not explicitly stated in the provided text.
Full tender documents, including terms and conditions and contract draft, are not available.
Clarity40/100

The description of the required services and the two sites (Filey Road Campus and Lady Edith Drive Campus) is reasonably clear. Operative qualifications are well-defined. However, the 'Innovation Focus' characteristic lacks definition, and the implications of the Lady Edith Drive site's potential sale on the contract are not fully clear.

The 'Innovation Focus' characteristic is not defined, making it unclear what type of innovation is sought or how it will be evaluated.
The exact contractual implications and mechanisms for adjustment if the Lady Edith Drive site is sold during the contract term are not clearly outlined.
Completeness83/100

The provided information is an extract and is highly incomplete. Crucial elements such as full tender documents, detailed specifications, and evaluation criteria are entirely missing, making it impossible for bidders to prepare comprehensive and compliant proposals.

No full tender documents are attached or available, which is a critical omission.
Detailed evaluation criteria are missing, preventing bidders from understanding how their proposals will be assessed.
Fairness60/100

The open procedure and standard operative qualifications suggest a general intent for fairness. However, the absence of evaluation criteria severely compromises the fairness of the process, as bidders cannot understand the basis for award. The uncertainty around the Lady Edith Drive site could also deter potential bidders.

The lack of explicit evaluation criteria makes the procurement process opaque and potentially unfair, as bidders cannot tailor their proposals effectively.
The significant uncertainty regarding the duration of services for the Lady Edith Drive site introduces risk for bidders, potentially impacting competitive pricing and participation.
Practicality40/100

The core services requested are practical for a security company. The provision of equipment by the college is a practical aspect. However, the dynamic nature of the Lady Edith Drive site's availability within the contract term presents practical challenges for resource planning and pricing.

The uncertainty of the Lady Edith Drive site's duration (24/7 security 'not guaranteed for a whole 3 years' within a 25-month contract) creates significant practical challenges for bidders in terms of resource allocation and financial planning.
Lack of detailed operational specifications makes it difficult for bidders to accurately scope and price the required services.
Data Consistency100/100

There is a minor inconsistency regarding the duration of services for the Lady Edith Drive site. The contract duration is 25 months, but the description states 24-hour security for this site is 'not guaranteed for a whole 3 years' (36 months), implying a potential discrepancy or at least a lack of clarity on how this aligns with the 25-month contract.

The statement that 24-hour security for the Lady Edith Drive site is 'not guaranteed for a whole 3 years' creates a consistency issue with the overall 25-month contract duration, requiring clarification on how this will be managed.
Sustainability25/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any environmental, social, or governance (ESG) criteria. While 'Innovation Focus' could potentially include sustainable solutions, this is not specified.

No explicit sustainability criteria (environmental, social, or green procurement aspects) are included in the tender description.

Strengths

Clear description of required services and sites.
Specific and standard mandatory qualifications for security operatives (SIA, DBS, First Aid).
Open procedure promotes competition.
Estimated value and contract duration are provided.
College supplies some equipment (radios, phones, mini cameras).

Concerns

Absence of full tender documents and detailed evaluation criteria, severely hindering transparency and fairness.
Significant uncertainty regarding the duration of services for the Lady Edith Drive site due to its active sale, creating risk for bidders.
Lack of detailed operational specifications for accurate service planning and pricing.
Mandatory exclusion grounds are not explicitly stated.
The 'Innovation Focus' characteristic is undefined, leading to potential subjectivity in evaluation.

Recommendations

1. Publish comprehensive tender documents, including detailed specifications, terms and conditions, and a clear contract draft.
2. Clearly define and publish evaluation criteria and their weighting to ensure transparency and fairness for all bidders.
3. Provide a clear contractual mechanism for adjusting scope and value if the Lady Edith Drive site is sold during the contract term.
