Construction Professional Services DPS

This tender for a Construction Professional Services DPS offers a clear scope of work but is significantly hampered by critical data inconsistencies, missing evaluation criteria, and a lack of detailed financial requirements, impacting its overall quality and fairness.

The tender clearly defines the procedure type (DPS, Restricted) and assigns an appropriate CPV code, acknowledging relevant UK regulations. However, the missing reveal date prevents a full assessment of the preparation period's reasonableness, and the absence of detailed evaluation criteria in the notice raises concerns about full transparency.

The description of required services is clear and unambiguous, and AI-extracted requirements are well-categorized. Nevertheless, the explicit lack of evaluation criteria and the reference to 'full DPS documentation' for financial requirements significantly reduce the overall clarity for potential bidders.

Basic information like title, reference, organization, value, and duration are present. However, the tender is incomplete due to a missing reveal date, absence of detailed financial requirements and evaluation criteria, and a critical inconsistency in the submission deadline between the main timeline and the document summary.

The tender discloses the estimated value and supports e-procurement, and requirements appear generic. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as it prevents bidders from understanding how their proposals will be judged, undermining transparency and equal treatment. The missing reveal date also hinders assessment of preparation time reasonableness.

Electronic submission is supported, and contract duration is clear. However, a direct URL to the full tender documents is not provided, which is a practical barrier. The contract start date is also not specified, and detailed financing information beyond the estimated value is absent.

There is a critical inconsistency regarding the submission deadline, with conflicting dates between the main timeline (2027-09-27) and the document summary (November 2, 2027). This discrepancy is highly problematic. Additionally, the reveal date is missing, and detailed financial/evaluation criteria are absent, indicating data gaps.

The tender notice does not include any explicit requirements or considerations related to green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. It appears to be a standard procurement focused solely on service delivery without integrating broader sustainability objectives.
