CSI-HLN-Supported Family Accommodation Framework

This tender for a continuously open framework agreement for homeless family support in Bristol demonstrates good accessibility via e-procurement but suffers from significant deficiencies in completeness and transparency, particularly regarding evaluation criteria and financial details.

The tender defines an open procedure and uses an appropriate CPV code, with no reported disputes. However, the absence of explicitly stated mandatory exclusion grounds and the classified estimated value are notable concerns regarding full legal transparency and compliance with best practices. The missing reveal date also impacts transparency.

The service description and basic technical requirements are clear. However, the tender critically lacks specified evaluation criteria, making it difficult for bidders to understand how their applications will be assessed. Explicit financial requirements are also missing.

While basic information is present, the tender is incomplete regarding crucial details such as the contract duration, explicit financial requirements, and, most significantly, the absence of defined evaluation criteria and mandatory exclusion grounds.

The continuously open framework and e-procurement portal promote accessibility and provide ample time for preparation. However, the classified estimated value and the critical absence of transparent evaluation criteria severely undermine fairness, as bidders cannot objectively prepare or understand the basis of selection.

The tender supports electronic submission via a provided portal link, which is practical. However, the lack of a specified contract duration and detailed financing information beyond the classified value reduces practicality for potential providers in terms of long-term planning and financial assessment.

Key fields are largely populated, and the status is active with no disputes. The concept of a continuously open framework with a periodic evaluation deadline is consistent. Minor gaps include a missing liable person and N/A codes for procedure type.

The core purpose of providing housing and support for homeless families is inherently social. However, the tender does not explicitly include additional green procurement, innovation, or specific social criteria for suppliers beyond the service itself.
