Original Tender Description

arc21 is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), divided into four Lots, for the provision of services relating to the treatment and energy recovery or disposal of Member Councils’ residual waste arisings. Lot 1 predominantly incorporates residual kerbside collections and residual waste from commercial/trade collections, which may be mixed with other residual waste streams. Lot 2 predominantly incorporates residual waste from Household Waste Recycling Centres which may be mixed with other residual waste streams. Lot 3 predominantly incorporates combined residual kerbside waste from commercial/trade collections and Household Waste Recycling Centre waste which may be mixed with other residual waste streams. Lot 4 predominantly incorporates other residual waste streams such as street litter, bulky waste and fly tipped waste and which may include waste arising from bonfires that has not or cannot be combined in any of the Lots. Within each of the Lots there may also be a requirement for the Contractor(s) to provide a delivery point(s) within a specified range; the loading of waste and/or an element of waste transport. The DPS is a two-stage process. There is no intention to limit the minimum and maximum number of service providers. In the initial setup stage, all service providers that meet the selection criteria and are not excluded must be admitted to the DPS. The DPS will be open to entrants, throughout its life, who meet the minimum criteria. Further information on the selection process can be found within the procurement documents. In addition to the specific Participating Bodies detailed in the notice call-off competitions may include waste from NI Councils who are not constituent councils of arc21.

Tender Quality Score

This tender for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) demonstrates good clarity in service description and promotes fair competition, but lacks detailed financial requirements and explicit evaluation criteria in the provided summary.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender correctly identifies the procedure as a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) and uses an appropriate CPV code. Mandatory exclusion grounds are mentioned, indicating adherence to legal frameworks. The submission deadline is exceptionally long, which is suitable for a DPS. Minor issues include 'N/A' codes for procedure type and the absence of specific financial requirements in the provided summary.

Missing specific financial requirements in the provided summary
Procedure type codes are 'N/A'
Clarity80/100

The description of the DPS and its four lots is very clear and unambiguous. AI-extracted eligibility and technical requirements are well-defined. However, the explicit absence of detailed financial requirements and, critically, evaluation criteria significantly reduces overall clarity for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Specific financial requirements not detailed
Completeness70/100

Basic information, estimated value, duration, and CPV codes are all present. The tender is divided into lots, which is good. However, the lack of detailed financial requirements and, most notably, the absence of specified evaluation criteria for DPS admission and subsequent call-off competitions represent significant gaps in completeness. The summary of the single provided document is also very brief.

Missing evaluation criteria
Specific financial requirements not detailed
Fairness85/100

The use of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) with no limit on service providers and continuous entry promotes high fairness and equal access. The tender is divided into parts (lots), further encouraging participation. The estimated value is disclosed, and requirements do not appear tailored. The main concern for fairness is the lack of specified evaluation criteria, which can hinder transparency.

No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality65/100

E-Procurement is enabled, which enhances practicality. The contract duration for call-offs is specified, and the value is clear. However, the absence of a direct document URL in the provided information and the lack of specific financial requirements could pose practical challenges for bidders in fully assessing the opportunity. The 'Not EU funded' status might imply less stringent practical reporting requirements.

Document URL not explicitly provided in the summary
Specific financial requirements not detailed
Data Consistency90/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical, especially the long submission deadline for a DPS. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include 'N/A' codes for procedure type and a potential discrepancy with 'Over Sum Limit: No' given the high estimated value, though this could refer to a specific national threshold.

Procedure type codes are 'N/A'
Potential inconsistency with 'Over Sum Limit: No' for a 970M EUR tender
Sustainability50/100

While the core service involves energy recovery from waste, which has inherent environmental benefits, the tender documentation does not explicitly integrate broader green procurement criteria, social aspects, or innovation focus. This represents a missed opportunity to leverage the procurement for wider sustainability goals.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear and detailed description of the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) and its lots
High transparency with the estimated value fully disclosed
Promotes fair competition through open entry to the DPS and division into lots
E-Procurement is enabled for efficient submission
Long submission deadline, appropriate for a DPS

Concerns

Absence of specified evaluation criteria for DPS admission and call-off competitions
Lack of detailed financial requirements in the provided tender summary
Limited integration of explicit green, social, or innovation sustainability criteria
Brief summary of the single provided document, potentially indicating lack of comprehensive detail
Minor data inconsistencies regarding procedure codes and 'Over Sum Limit'

Recommendations

1. Ensure all procurement documents clearly detail financial requirements and comprehensive evaluation criteria for both DPS admission and subsequent call-off competitions.
2. Integrate explicit green procurement, social responsibility, and innovation criteria into the tender to enhance sustainability outcomes.
3. Provide a direct and easily accessible URL to all complete tender documents.
