Original Tender Description

Aberdeenshire Council requires the provision of two distinct Outreach Housing Support Services to support Young Persons and Adults. The Young Persons Outreach Housing Support Service is for people aged over 16 and up to the age of 21, and for those who are care leavers up to and including age 26 where a housing support need has been identified by housing options or social work services who retain the statutory duty to support care leavers up to and including age 26. The Adults Outreach Housing Support Service is for people aged 21 and over. The support provided will be flexible and tailored to provide person centred support to meet the changing needs of each individual, with the key aim of providing support to work towards promoting independent living and allowing those supported to sustain their tenancies and prevent homelessness.

Tender Quality Score

This tender for vital social services has a clear description but is severely hampered by the lack of accessible tender documents and crucial missing information like evaluation criteria and contract duration, impacting transparency and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes correctly, and there are no disputes. However, the missing reveal date is a transparency concern, making it impossible to verify the total preparation time for bidders.

Missing reveal date
Clarity60/100

The service description is clear and unambiguous. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly reduces the clarity for potential bidders on how their proposals will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness40/100

While basic information is present, the tender is critically incomplete due to the unavailability of full tender documents. Key details like contract duration, evaluation criteria, and specific eligibility/financial requirements are missing from the provided summary.

No document content available for review
Missing contract duration
Fairness50/100

The tender benefits from e-procurement and a non-tailored service description. However, the lack of accessible tender documents and the absence of evaluation criteria severely undermine fairness and transparency for all potential bidders.

No full document access
No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality65/100

No document URL provided
Missing contract duration
Data Consistency70/100

Most key fields are populated, and there are no disputes. However, some fields like 'Liable Person' and procedure codes are empty, and there's a minor inconsistency in the submission deadline time.
