Provision of Services to the North Yorkshire Locality Boards

This tender provides clear service descriptions and ample submission time but is significantly hampered by the absence of explicit evaluation criteria, mandatory exclusion grounds, and specific financial requirements, which impacts legal compliance, clarity, and fairness.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly. However, the absence of explicitly stated mandatory exclusion grounds, specific financial requirements, and evaluation criteria represents significant compliance gaps. The missing reveal date also prevents a full assessment of the initial transparency period.

The service description is clear and unambiguous. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria makes it impossible for potential bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed. The requirements, while understandable, lack detailed metrics or specific conditions for demonstration.

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, duration, and CPV code are provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the explicit absence of mandatory exclusion grounds, specific financial requirements, and, most critically, evaluation criteria. The 'Liable Person' field is also empty.

The tender benefits from a disclosed value and a very long submission period, allowing ample preparation time. E-procurement is stated, promoting equal access. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as it introduces subjectivity and potential for arbitrary decisions in the selection process, undermining transparency and objectivity.

The tender specifies 'E-Procurement' as a characteristic, which supports electronic submission. The contract duration and estimated value are clearly stated. However, the contract start date is not explicitly known, and a direct document URL is not provided in the summary, though documents are indicated as available.

Most key fields are populated, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. Dates are logical, with a distant submission deadline. However, there is a contradiction between 'E-Procurement' being a characteristic and the automated check flagging 'No e-submission'. The 'Liable Person' field is empty, and the missing reveal date is a data gap.

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