Bradford and District Residential and Nursing Care Homes Provider List

This tender establishes a Dynamic Purchasing System for residential and nursing care, demonstrating good procedural clarity and long-term planning, but suffers from significant gaps in detailing evaluation criteria and full requirements within the notice.

The tender clearly defines the procedure as an Open Dynamic Purchasing System under the Light Touch Regime, with an appropriate CPV code. The long submission deadline is suitable for a DPS. However, the 'Missing reveal date' is a minor administrative compliance issue.

The overall description of the DPS is clear and unambiguous. However, the notice explicitly defers critical details such as mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements to full application documents. Crucially, evaluation criteria for accreditation to the DPS are not specified, significantly impacting clarity.

Basic information like title, reference, organization, value, deadlines, and duration are well-specified. However, the tender is incomplete regarding detailed mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and, most importantly, evaluation criteria, which are essential for a comprehensive understanding of the application process.

The long submission deadline and support for e-procurement contribute positively to fairness. Requirements appear generic and not tailored. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria for accreditation to the DPS is a major fairness concern, as it undermines transparency and objectivity.

Electronic submission is supported, and the contract duration is clearly specified. However, the lack of a direct URL for accessing the full application documents is a practical hurdle for potential bidders. The contract start date is not explicitly stated, which is a minor practical detail.

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent with a DPS. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. A minor inconsistency exists between the 'E-Procurement' characteristic and the automated check's 'No e-submission' flag, which is disregarded in favor of the explicit characteristic.

While the service itself (residential and nursing care) has inherent social value, the tender notice does not explicitly incorporate broader green procurement, additional social criteria beyond the core service, or innovation focus. It is not EU funded.
