Tender Quality Score

This tender outlines a significant Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for research services with a clear scope, but the provided F02 Contract Notice lacks critical detailed requirements and evaluation criteria, deferring them to external documents.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears generally compliant for a F02 Contract Notice, defining the procedure as a DPS and assigning an appropriate CPV code. The long submission period for a DPS enhances accessibility. However, the 'reveal date' is missing, and there's a minor inconsistency in classifying it as 'Restricted procedure' while describing it as a DPS.

Missing reveal date
Minor inconsistency in procedure classification (Restricted vs. DPS)
Clarity60/100

The overall description of the Research & Insights DPS is clear and unambiguous regarding its scope and target users. However, the AI-extracted requirements repeatedly state that specific mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, technical, and financial requirements, as well as evaluation criteria, are not detailed in this notice and require reference to full procurement documents. This significantly reduces the clarity of the provided information.

Lack of detailed eligibility, financial, and technical requirements in the notice
No evaluation criteria specified in the notice
Completeness55/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, duration, and CPV code are present. However, the tender information provided is incomplete regarding crucial details like specific eligibility, financial, and technical requirements, and especially evaluation criteria, which are all deferred to external documents not fully analyzed here.

Missing detailed requirements (eligibility, financial, technical)
Missing evaluation criteria
Fairness70/100

The estimated value is disclosed, and the technical capability requirements are generic, promoting broad participation. The long submission deadline for a DPS also supports fairness. However, the absence of evaluation criteria in the notice significantly impacts transparency and the ability of bidders to prepare objectively. There's also a contradiction regarding e-submission.

No evaluation criteria specified, impacting transparency
Contradiction regarding e-submission (E-Procurement characteristic vs. No e-submission flag)
Practicality60/100

The tender specifies a clear duration and estimated value. However, the contradiction between 'E-Procurement' being a characteristic and 'No e-submission' being flagged is a significant practical concern. A direct document URL is not explicitly provided, and a specific contract start date is missing.

Contradiction regarding e-submission capabilities
No explicit document URL provided
Data Consistency70/100

Most key fields are populated, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. However, the 'Liable Person' field is empty, and there is a direct contradiction between the 'E-Procurement' characteristic and the 'No e-submission' flag. The classification as 'Restricted procedure' while describing a 'DPS Agreement' is a minor inconsistency.

Empty 'Liable Person' field
Contradiction between 'E-Procurement' and 'No e-submission'
Sustainability50/100

The tender explicitly lists 'Innovation Focus' as a characteristic, which is a positive aspect of sustainability. However, it lacks any explicit mention of green procurement criteria or social aspects, indicating a moderate, rather than comprehensive, approach to sustainability.

Absence of explicit green procurement criteria
Absence of explicit social criteria

Strengths

Clear description of services and broad scope for UK public sector.
High estimated value and long contract duration (72 months).
Explicit 'Innovation Focus' characteristic.
Generic technical requirements promoting wide participation.
Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) structure allows for ongoing applications.

Concerns

Critical detailed requirements (eligibility, financial, technical) are missing from the notice.
No evaluation criteria specified, impacting transparency and fairness.
Contradiction regarding e-submission capabilities ('E-Procurement' vs. 'No e-submission').
Reliance on external 'full procurement documents' for essential information.
Missing 'reveal date' and 'Liable Person' field.

Recommendations

1. Ensure all detailed requirements, eligibility criteria, and evaluation criteria are clearly specified and easily accessible in the full procurement documents.
2. Resolve the contradiction regarding e-submission capabilities to provide clear guidance to bidders.
3. Populate all basic information fields, including the 'reveal date' and 'Liable Person'.
