Original Tender Description

On 7th July 2026 the NAM will open a temporary exhibition entitled 'Drawn on the Western Front: Paul Sarrut and the Indian Army'. The exhibition showcases the drawings of Paul Sarrut, an artist and French liaison officer to the British Army. Sarrut's poignant drawings from the Western Front in the First World War particularly showcased the contribution of Indian soldiers who fought for us and made the arduous journey from Lahore to Marseille and onto the Western Front. The exhibition will be in our smaller focus gallery. The exhibition will run from 7th July 2026 to 21st February 2027 in the 150 sq metre Focus Gallery. A contractor is sought to manufacture and install the gallery structures that constitute all build elements of the Paul Sarrut exhibition, including decorating throughout with the exception of the floor and ceiling. The contractor is also responsible for the removal of the previous Burma gallery.

Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear project description and basic information, but suffers from significant gaps in formal requirements, evaluation criteria, and modern procurement practices, impacting fairness and clarity.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance70/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code appropriately. The submission deadline provides a reasonable timeframe from today's date. However, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria in the provided information raises concerns regarding transparency and adherence to best practices in public procurement, even for a below-threshold procedure.

Lack of explicit evaluation criteria in the provided tender information.
Clarity60/100

The project description is clear and unambiguous, detailing the exhibition and contractor's responsibilities. However, the tender lacks formally stated eligibility, technical, and financial requirements, which are only inferred by AI. Crucially, the absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly diminishes clarity for potential bidders.

Missing formal eligibility, technical, and financial requirements.
No evaluation criteria specified.
Completeness55/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, description, deadlines, value, duration, and location are provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the absence of formally defined eligibility, technical, financial requirements, and, most notably, evaluation criteria. Only a summary of one document was provided for analysis, limiting a full assessment.

Missing formal eligibility, technical, and financial requirements.
No evaluation criteria specified.
Fairness45/100

The estimated value is disclosed, and the requirements appear generic, not tailored. However, the critical absence of explicit evaluation criteria severely compromises fairness, as bidders cannot understand how their proposals will be judged. The lack of e-submission also creates a barrier to equal access and participation.

No evaluation criteria specified, hindering transparency and objective assessment.
No electronic submission (e-submission) supported.
Practicality50/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the tender lacks support for electronic submission, which is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement. A direct document URL was also not provided.

No electronic submission (e-submission) supported.
Document URL not provided.
Data Consistency85/100

Key fields are largely populated, and dates (submission, contract start, exhibition opening) are logical and consistent. The estimated value in EUR is consistent with the GBP equivalent mentioned in the document summary. There are no reported disputes or suspensions.

Some minor fields like 'Liable Person' are unpopulated, and 'Type'/'Procedure' codes are 'N/A'.
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not include any explicit green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.

No green procurement criteria.
No social criteria.
