Multi Provider Framework Agreement for Care, Support and Enablement Services 2023

This tender for a Multi Provider Framework Agreement is clear in its overall structure and ongoing application process, but significant gaps in critical details like evaluation criteria, estimated value, and contract duration notably reduce its quality, completeness, and fairness.

The tender clearly defines the open procedure type and uses an appropriate CPV code. The ongoing application process for the framework agreement is a valid procurement approach. However, the provided summary lacks explicit mention of mandatory exclusion grounds and detailed financial requirements, which are typically essential for full regulatory compliance. The classified value also impacts transparency.

The description of the framework agreement, its lots, and the ongoing application process is clear and well-articulated. However, a significant deficiency is the explicit absence of evaluation criteria, which makes it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed. Key financial and exclusion requirements are also not detailed in the summary.

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, and description are well-provided. The tender, however, is incomplete regarding critical details like the estimated value (classified), contract duration, and, most importantly, the specific evaluation criteria and comprehensive financial/exclusion requirements. While a PDF document is mentioned, the provided summary lacks these crucial elements.

The open procedure with ongoing applications and the characteristic of E-Procurement promote broad access. However, the classified value reduces transparency, and the explicit absence of evaluation criteria is a major concern for fairness, as bidders cannot objectively prepare their submissions or understand the basis of selection. Requirements do not appear tailored.

Electronic submission is indicated, which is practical. Nevertheless, the summary lacks a direct document URL, explicit contract start date, and detailed financing information beyond the classified value. The absence of a clear contract duration also impacts practical planning for potential providers.

The core data elements are largely consistent, with the procedure type matching the description of an ongoing framework agreement. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include an unpopulated 'Liable Person' field and the contradiction between 'E-Procurement' characteristic and the automated check's 'No e-submission' flag (though the characteristic is prioritized).

While the nature of the services (Care, Support and Enablement) inherently addresses social needs, the tender documentation, as summarized, does not explicitly incorporate broader sustainability, green procurement, or innovation criteria. There is no indication of EU funding that might drive higher sustainability standards.
