Original Tender Description

Derbyshire County Council is seeking an experienced single Contractor to provide maintenance works and repairs to Harrington Bridge, in Sawley. Phase 2 works comprise of following works to the structure: Replacement of existing severely corroded cross bracing sections at the pier, paint the caissons and connection to the bracing. Minor remedial works to the apron in front of the abutments. The existing bridge deck expansion joints are to be replaced, partially resurface the carriageway and resurface the footways. In order to carry out the works at the pier, a temporary suspended platform will be required to provide a dry and safe working environment at the pier.

All temporary works design is to comply to the Special Requirements of Environment Agency and all current design codes. Temporary works platform to have independent CAT 3 checks.

Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear description of the required works and technical capabilities but suffers from significant omissions regarding evaluation criteria, mandatory exclusion grounds, and the lack of e-submission, impacting fairness and completeness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and assigns an appropriate CPV code. However, the absence of mandatory exclusion grounds and specified evaluation criteria are significant legal compliance issues. The missing reveal date also hinders a full assessment of deadline reasonableness.

Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity70/100

The description of the works and the AI-extracted technical requirements are detailed and clear, providing a good understanding of the project scope. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria severely impacts the clarity for bidders on how their proposals will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, and duration are present. However, the tender is incomplete due to the missing liable person, mandatory exclusion grounds, and crucially, evaluation criteria. The fact that only one document is listed and marked 'Required: No' is also a significant concern for a works contract.

No evaluation criteria specified
Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Fairness60/100

The lack of specified evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as bidders cannot objectively prepare their offers. The absence of e-submission and the questionable full document access (only one document, marked 'Required: No') also detract from equal access and transparency. Requirements do not appear tailored.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission
Practicality65/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the lack of electronic submission is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement. A direct document URL was not explicitly provided in the input, which could also pose a minor practical hurdle.

No e-submission
Document URL not explicitly provided in the input
Data Consistency90/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. Minor inconsistencies include the missing 'Liable Person' and the 'Value Classified: Yes' flag contradicting the explicit disclosure of the estimated value.

Liable Person missing
"Value Classified: Yes" contradicts explicit value disclosure
Sustainability50/100

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

Not green procurement
No social criteria
