Milton Keynes City Council - Dynamic Purchasing System for the Provision of Supported Accommodation Services for Young People

This tender for supported accommodation services for vulnerable young people demonstrates good clarity on service needs and target groups, but suffers from significant omissions regarding mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and crucially, evaluation criteria. While the long submission period and e-procurement support fairness, the lack of transparent evaluation criteria presents a notable concern for potential bidders.

The tender correctly identifies the procedure type as a Dynamic Purchasing System and assigns an appropriate CPV code. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. However, the AI summary explicitly states the absence of mandatory exclusion grounds and specific financial requirements, which are standard legal components of a tender and raise compliance concerns if not detailed in the full documentation.

The description of the services and target groups is very clear and unambiguous. Eligibility and technical requirements are well-defined. However, the explicit absence of evaluation criteria is a major clarity issue, as is the lack of detail on mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements in the summary.

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, duration, and CPV code are present. Documents are available. However, critical information like evaluation criteria, mandatory exclusion grounds, and specific financial requirements are explicitly noted as missing or not mentioned in the summary. The 'Liable Person' is also not specified.

The tender benefits from a very long submission deadline, disclosed estimated value, and enabled e-procurement, which generally promotes fairness. Requirements appear generic and not tailored. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria is a significant fairness concern, as it prevents objective and transparent assessment of bids.

Electronic submission is supported, and the contract duration is clearly specified. However, a direct document URL is not provided (though implied as 'available online'), the contract start date is unknown, and detailed financing information beyond the estimated value is not available.

Most key fields are populated, and there are no reported suspensions or disputes. Dates are logical. The main inconsistency is the 'Value Classified: Yes' flag despite the estimated value being explicitly disclosed. The 'Liable Person' field is also empty.

The tender's core purpose, providing supported accommodation for vulnerable young people, inherently addresses significant social aspects of sustainability. However, it does not explicitly include green procurement criteria or an innovation focus, and is not EU funded.
