Nursing Homes Preferred Provider List For Derby and Derbyshire CCG

This tender establishes an Any Qualified Provider (AQP) list for nursing home services, allowing continuous applications, but it exhibits significant deficiencies in transparency and data consistency.

The AQP/DPS model is a recognized and compliant procurement approach, and the CPV code is appropriate. However, the classified value and the significant discrepancy between the stated 'Contract Start: 2021-07-31' and 'initial submission deadline... 2026-07-31' for establishing the list raise legal questions about the tender's true nature and timeline. The AI summary also notes the absence of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds, deferring to full documents.

The overall concept of an AQP/DPS for nursing home services with continuous applications is clearly described. However, the AI-extracted requirements are very general and explicitly state that crucial details (e.g., specific mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and critically, evaluation criteria) are missing and require reference to full documents. The timeline inconsistency also creates ambiguity.

Basic information like title, organization, reference, CPV, and duration are present. A document is attached. However, the estimated value is classified, evaluation criteria are explicitly missing, and detailed financial and exclusion requirements are not provided in the summary. The 'Liable Person' field is also empty.

The AQP/DPS model inherently promotes fairness by allowing continuous applications, and requirements appear generic, not tailored. E-procurement is indicated. However, the classified estimated value significantly hinders transparency, preventing bidders from fully assessing the opportunity. The complete absence of specified evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as bidders cannot understand how their applications will be judged objectively.

The tender supports e-procurement and specifies a clear contract duration. However, a direct document URL is not provided in the given data, which can impede easy access. The classified value makes it difficult for potential providers to assess the commercial viability. The conflicting dates regarding contract start and initial submission deadline create practical confusion for applicants.

The most significant inconsistency lies in the timeline: 'Contract Start: 2021-07-31' versus 'initial submission deadline... 2026-07-31' for the establishment of the list. This creates a fundamental contradiction about whether this is a new establishment or an ongoing list. The 'E-Procurement' characteristic contradicts the 'No e-submission' automated check, though the characteristic is prioritized. 'Liable Person' is empty.

There is no mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus within the provided tender information or AI-extracted requirements. The automated check also confirms it's not EU funded, which often drives higher sustainability standards.
