Original Tender Description

This Dynamic Purchase System (DPS) provides a route, compliant with UK public procurement regulations, for public bodies to procure Power Purchase Agreements. It is intended to help public bodies and renewable energy generators contract together through a relatively simplified and standardised way. With the aim of driving greater and faster expansion of renewable generation assets. The DPS is structured such that Generators who can meet a set of mandatory requirements, set in the Specifications document, will be accepted as approved Suppliers to the DPS. Individual or groups of public bodies will run mini competitions to which approved Suppliers will be invited to bid. The mini competitions will include more detailed specifications relating to the requirements of that/those public bodies. What further specifications could be covered under mini competition is expanded further in the Specification document. To note that Services, Goods and/or Works may be procured through the future

Tender Quality Score

This tender establishes a Dynamic Purchasing System for Power Purchase Agreements from renewable energy generators, demonstrating a strong commitment to green procurement. However, it suffers from a lack of detailed evaluation criteria and the absence of electronic submission, impacting clarity and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender explicitly states compliance with UK public procurement regulations and clearly defines the DPS procedure. The CPV code is appropriate. The primary concern is the missing reveal date, which prevents a full assessment of the initial deadline reasonableness, although the overall submission period is extensive.

Missing reveal date (impacts assessment of initial deadline reasonableness)
Clarity60/100

While the overall purpose of the DPS is clear, many detailed requirements are frequently deferred to the 'Specifications document'. Crucially, the 'No evaluation criteria specified' flag indicates a significant lack of clarity for bidders regarding how their submissions will be assessed.

Many detailed requirements deferred to external document
No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Basic tender information (title, reference, organization, value, duration, CPV, NUTS) is present. Deadlines are specified, and documents are mentioned as available. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria and the deferral of many detailed requirements to an external document mean the provided tender information is not fully comprehensive.

Missing evaluation criteria
Detailed requirements are not fully presented in the provided summary
Fairness55/100

The tender value is disclosed, and requirements appear generic for renewable energy generators, not tailored. However, the explicit flag 'No evaluation criteria specified' is a major concern for objectivity and transparency. Additionally, 'No e-submission' is flagged, which can hinder equal access for all potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission
Practicality55/100

The lack of electronic submission ('No e-submission' flag) is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement. A direct document URL is not provided in the input, and the exact contract start date is not explicitly stated, though the duration is clear.

No e-submission
Document URL not provided
Data Consistency90/100

All key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent (submission deadline in the future, duration specified). There are no noted suspensions or disputes. A minor inconsistency between 'Restricted procedure' and the DPS description is clarified by the detailed text.

Minor inconsistency in procedure classification (Restricted vs. DPS, but clarified)
Sustainability75/100

The core purpose of this DPS is to procure Power Purchase Agreements from renewable energy generators, directly promoting green procurement and the expansion of renewable generation assets. This is a strong sustainability aspect. While explicit social criteria or broader innovation focus are not detailed, the fundamental nature of the tender is highly sustainable.

No explicit social criteria or broader innovation focus beyond renewable energy generation
