Young Carers Service 2026

This tender provides essential information for a "Young Carers Service" but relies heavily on an external portal for critical details, notably lacking evaluation criteria within the notice itself.

The tender clearly defines the procedure type and CPV codes, and there are no disputes. However, the notice defers mandatory exclusion grounds to external documents, which, while permissible for a "light touch regime" below threshold, makes the notice less self-contained.

While the service description is clear, the notice explicitly lacks evaluation criteria and defers comprehensive service details and exclusion grounds to an external platform, significantly reducing its standalone clarity.

Basic tender information, financial details, and timeline are complete. However, the absence of evaluation criteria and the deferral of full requirements and mandatory exclusion grounds to an external portal make the notice itself incomplete for a comprehensive understanding.

The tender discloses the estimated value and supports e-procurement. However, the critical omission of evaluation criteria within the notice significantly hinders transparency and fairness, as bidders cannot fully understand the basis of assessment. Requirements appear generic.

The tender clearly specifies the external platform for full documents and submission, along with the contract start date and duration, making it practical for bidders to engage.

Key data fields are largely populated, and dates are logical and consistent. Minor omissions like the "Liable Person" and N/A codes for procedure types do not create inconsistencies.

The tender does not explicitly incorporate green procurement, broader social criteria beyond the core service, or innovation focus, indicating a missed opportunity for enhanced sustainability considerations.
