Independent and Non-Maintained Special School (INMSS)

This is a preliminary market engagement for Independent and Non-Maintained Special School providers, clearly outlining its purpose but lacking full financial transparency and electronic submission capabilities.

As a preliminary market engagement (scoping exercise) in 'planning' status, the tender is not subject to the full legal compliance requirements of a formal procurement. The CPV code is appropriate. However, the absence of a defined procedure type, classified estimated value, and missing reveal date would be significant legal and transparency issues for a formal tender.

The purpose of the scoping exercise is clearly articulated, and the eligibility and technical requirements for participation are straightforward and unambiguous. The lack of formal evaluation criteria and performance conditions is expected for this preliminary stage.

Basic information such as title, organization, reference, description, deadlines, and duration are provided. All listed documents are available. However, the estimated value is not disclosed, and formal evaluation criteria are absent, which are notable gaps for a comprehensive procurement document, even if preliminary.

The requirements for providers are generic and not tailored, ensuring broad market access. Full document access is provided. However, the classified estimated value hinders potential bidders from assessing the scale of future opportunities, and the lack of e-submission can create barriers to equal access.

The contract duration and start date are clearly specified, aiding planning. However, the absence of electronic submission capabilities is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement. Detailed financing information beyond 'not disclosed' is also missing.

Key dates are logical, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. However, several key fields such as 'Type,' 'Procedure,' 'Liable Person,' and 'Estimated Value' are either explicitly marked as 'None' or 'Not disclosed,' indicating unpopulated or missing data points. The reveal date is also missing.

The tender does not include any explicit criteria or considerations related to green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. It is also not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.
