Cleaning Services

This tender for cleaning services at Bournemouth University provides a clear description of requirements and objectives for a significant 10-year contract. However, it critically lacks specified evaluation criteria and explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, impacting legal compliance and fairness.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly. The period from today's date to the submission deadline (50 days) appears reasonable for preparation. However, the absence of a specified tender reveal date, explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, and crucially, the complete lack of evaluation criteria are significant legal compliance deficiencies.

The description of the required services and core objectives is clear and unambiguous. The AI-extracted technical and financial requirements are also well-articulated. Nevertheless, the critical omission of evaluation criteria significantly hinders the overall clarity for potential bidders.

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, deadlines, estimated value, duration, and CPV code are all present. However, the tender is incomplete due to the absence of specified evaluation criteria and explicit mandatory exclusion grounds. The provided document summaries are generic and do not indicate comprehensive tender specifications.

The estimated value is disclosed, the submission period (50 days from today) is reasonable for preparation, and electronic submission via the In-Tend portal ensures equal access. The requirements appear generic and not tailored. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as it prevents transparent and objective assessment of bids.

Electronic submission is supported, and the contract start date and duration are clearly specified. While documents are listed, explicit URLs are not provided in the snippet. The lack of detailed tender specifications (beyond summaries) makes it difficult to fully assess the practicality for bidders to prepare comprehensive proposals.

Key fields are largely populated, and dates are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include empty codes for 'Type' and 'Procedure', and the 'Value Classified: Yes' flag which contradicts the disclosed value but is likely a categorization note.

The tender explicitly states 'Increasing focus on environmental and social sustainability' and 'Continued innovation' as core objectives. This demonstrates a positive intent. However, without specific evaluation criteria, requirements, or KPIs related to these aspects, their practical implementation and impact remain uncertain.
