Civil Engineering Contractors Framework (CECF) 2026-2030

This tender provides a clear description of the required works and framework structure but has notable deficiencies in legal compliance, completeness, and fairness due to missing critical information like evaluation criteria and detailed financial requirements. The absence of e-submission and sustainability focus also reduces its overall quality.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly, and there are no reported disputes. However, the missing reveal date prevents a full assessment of deadline reasonableness, and the absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and evaluation criteria represents significant compliance gaps with best practice and regulatory transparency principles.

The description of the civil engineering works and the division into two lots is clear and unambiguous. The AI-extracted eligibility and technical requirements are understandable. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria significantly diminishes the overall clarity for potential bidders on how their submissions will be assessed.

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, duration, and CPV code are present. However, the tender is incomplete due to the missing liable person, 'N/A' codes for type/procedure, and critically, the absence of evaluation criteria, detailed financial requirements, and explicit mandatory exclusion grounds. The 'Required: No' for the official PDF is also an unusual omission for a primary document.

The tender's value is disclosed, and the requirements do not appear to be tailored to a specific company, promoting a degree of fairness. However, the complete lack of specified evaluation criteria severely compromises transparency and objectivity, making it difficult for bidders to compete fairly. The absence of e-submission also creates an unequal access barrier in modern procurement.

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified, which is practical for planning. However, the lack of electronic submission support is a significant practical drawback in 2026, potentially increasing administrative burden for both bidders and the contracting authority. While documents are available, a direct URL was not provided in the summary.

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. There are no reported suspensions or disputes. Minor inconsistencies include the missing 'Liable Person', 'N/A' codes for tender type and procedure, and a currency difference between the estimated total value (EUR) and lot values (GBP), though the PDF summary clarifies the total in GBP.

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement criteria, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards. This indicates a missed opportunity to integrate modern procurement best practices for environmental and social responsibility.
