NHS SY ICB Sheffield - Autism and ADHD Support, Information and Advice Hub

This tender for autism and ADHD support services is clear in its description and requirements but suffers from critical omissions, including evaluation criteria and the tender reveal date, significantly impacting fairness and completeness.

The tender lacks a specified reveal date, making it impossible to assess the reasonableness of the submission period. Crucially, no specific mandatory exclusion grounds are detailed, which is a fundamental legal requirement. The procedure type and CPV code are correctly identified.

The service description and AI-extracted requirements are clear and unambiguous. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria is a major flaw, preventing bidders from understanding how their proposals will be assessed and significantly reducing overall clarity.

While basic information, deadlines, value, and duration are provided, the tender is incomplete due to the absence of evaluation criteria, the liable person's name, and the tender reveal date. The 'Required: No' flag for the official PDF is also an unusual and potentially misleading detail.

The lack of any specified evaluation criteria severely compromises the fairness and transparency of the procurement process, as bidders cannot understand the basis of award. The missing reveal date also prevents verification of a fair preparation period. Requirements appear generic, not tailored.

Electronic submission via the Atamis Portal is supported, and key timelines (contract start, duration) are clear. However, a direct document URL is not provided in the summary, and the 'Required: No' status for the main PDF could lead to practical confusion for bidders.

Key fields such as 'Liable Person' and 'reveal date' are unpopulated. While dates provided are logical, the absence of crucial information impacts overall data consistency. The contradiction regarding e-submission between AI-extracted requirements and automated checks is noted, with AI-extracted being more reliable.

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