Legal Compliance90/100
The tender, as an amendment to an established DPS, demonstrates strong legal compliance. It clearly defines the procedure type, uses appropriate CPV codes, and references relevant UK procurement regulations. The open application window inherent to a DPS ensures reasonable deadlines for submission.
Clarity80/100
The amendment is very clear about its purpose – extending the DPS. It explicitly states that all other details remain unchanged and directs bidders to the original 2017 notice for specific requirements (exclusion, eligibility, technical, financial, submission, and evaluation criteria). While not self-contained, its clarity in signposting is commendable for an amendment.
Completeness70/100
The tender provides all essential information for an amendment, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, and duration of the extension. However, it is not a standalone document, as all detailed requirements and evaluation criteria are deferred to the original DPS notice, making it incomplete for a new bidder without external reference.
•Detailed requirements and evaluation criteria are not included in this amendment, requiring reference to the original DPS notice.
