Home Group Development Contractors Dynamic Purchasing System Cumbria

This tender establishes a Dynamic Purchasing System for construction partners, demonstrating good clarity on project scope and value, but lacks explicit evaluation criteria and detailed financial/exclusion grounds within the initial notice.

The tender clearly defines the procedure as a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), which is a compliant framework. However, it also labels it as a 'Restricted procedure', which is a terminological inconsistency as DPS is an open market procedure. CPV codes are appropriate, and no disputes are noted. Mandatory disclosure of detailed exclusion grounds and financial requirements is deferred to an external Selection Questionnaire, which is common for DPS but means the initial notice is not fully self-contained.

The description of the procurement's purpose, scope, and location is clear and unambiguous. AI-extracted requirements are understandable. However, a significant drawback is the explicit absence of evaluation criteria within the provided tender information, which is crucial for bidders to understand how they will be assessed for admission to the DPS.

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, duration, and CPV code are all present. Location information is also provided. However, the tender lacks explicit evaluation criteria and defers detailed mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements to an external Selection Questionnaire, making the provided information incomplete on its own.

The estimated value is fully disclosed, and requirements appear generic, not tailored to a specific company. Access to full documents is via a provided URL, which is standard for DPS. However, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria significantly impacts transparency and fairness, as bidders cannot fully understand the basis for selection. There is a contradiction regarding e-submission, but the 'E-Procurement' characteristic suggests electronic access.

The tender indicates 'E-Procurement' and provides a URL for obtaining documents and submitting interest, suggesting electronic submission is supported. The contract duration is clearly specified. However, a specific contract start date is not provided, and detailed financing information beyond the estimated value is absent. The contradiction regarding e-submission also creates minor ambiguity.

Most key fields are populated, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. Dates are logical and consistent. The primary inconsistency lies in labeling the procedure as 'Restricted procedure' while simultaneously being a 'Dynamic Purchasing System', which is an open procedure. The 'Liable Person' field is also empty.

The tender explicitly highlights an 'Innovation Focus', which is a positive aspect for sustainability. However, it explicitly lacks any mention of green procurement criteria or social aspects, as noted by the automated checks, limiting its overall sustainability score.
