Legal Compliance100/100
The tender follows an Open procedure, which is legally sound. The contract duration is substantial but not inherently non-compliant. However, the absence of explicitly stated mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided summary is a gap.
•Mandatory exclusion grounds not explicitly stated in the provided information.
Clarity60/100
The service description and multi-lot structure are clearly articulated. However, the statement that 'Full details of the requirements will be provided in the Service Specification upon publication of the tender documents' indicates that the current information is not fully clear or detailed.
•Full service requirements not detailed in the initial tender information, pending Service Specification publication.
Completeness100/100
The provided tender information is notably incomplete. Critical elements such as detailed service specifications, explicit evaluation criteria, and financial requirements are missing, making a comprehensive assessment challenging for potential bidders.
•Missing explicit evaluation criteria
•Missing detailed service specifications
Fairness80/100
The multi-lot structure and allowance for bidding on multiple lots promote fair competition. Eligibility requirements (Care Inspectorate registration, counselling qualifications) appear reasonable for the service type. However, the absence of evaluation criteria makes it impossible to assess the fairness of the award process.
•Absence of explicit evaluation criteria hinders assessment of award fairness.
Practicality40/100
The multi-lot approach is practical for addressing diverse needs and encouraging specialized providers. The long contract duration offers stability. Clear performance expectations (95% service delivery) are practical for service management.
Data Consistency100/100
There is a significant inconsistency in the currency used for the estimated total value (EUR) versus the annual lot values (GBP). The numerical values are almost identical, strongly suggesting a potential currency mislabeling or error, which could lead to confusion.
•Inconsistency between estimated total value (EUR) and annual lot values (GBP) where numerical values are nearly identical, indicating a potential currency error.
Sustainability0/100
While the service itself addresses a critical social need, the tender documentation, as provided, does not explicitly incorporate broader social, environmental (green procurement), or innovation criteria, which are increasingly important in modern public procurement.
•Lack of explicit social, environmental, or innovation criteria in the tender documentation.
