Legal Compliance75/100
The tender clearly defines the procedure type and CPV codes, indicating adherence to the Procurement Act 2023. However, the indicative timetable's very short 10-day period for full tender submission after ISFT publication, and 11 days for PSQ/COP, are significant concerns for legal compliance regarding sufficient time for bidders, even under a flexible regime.
•Indicative timetable shows a very short 10-day period for full tender submission after ISFT publication, which is highly problematic for a complex £400M contract.
•The 11-day PSQ and COP response time is also tight for a contract of this magnitude.
Clarity80/100
For a planned notice, the description of services, context, and high-level requirements is clear and unambiguous. The lack of detailed evaluation criteria and performance conditions is expected at this preliminary stage.
•Detailed evaluation criteria and specific performance conditions are not yet provided, which is typical for a planned notice.
Completeness70/100
The notice provides all essential preliminary information, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, duration, and indicative timeline. High-level requirements are outlined, but full tender documents and detailed criteria are not yet available, which is normal for a 'planning' status.
•Full tender documentation, detailed requirements, and specific evaluation criteria are not yet available.
Fairness60/100
The indicative deadlines for PSQ/COP and full tender submission are extremely tight for a contract of this scale and complexity, potentially limiting fair competition and equal access for all capable bidders. The absence of explicit e-submission details is also a concern.
•Indicative deadlines for PSQ/COP and full tender submission are very short, potentially limiting bidder participation.
•No explicit mention of electronic submission for equal access.
Practicality65/100
Key information such as contract start date and duration is clearly specified. However, the lack of explicit mention of electronic submission support and a direct document URL are practical drawbacks in modern procurement.
•No explicit mention of electronic submission support.
•No direct document URL provided.
Data Consistency90/100
All provided data points are consistent and logically ordered, particularly the indicative timeline. Minor omissions like 'Liable Person' are common for planned notices and do not impact overall consistency.
Sustainability20/100
There is a complete absence of any mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus, which are critical considerations for a high-value, long-term public contract in contemporary procurement practices.
•Complete absence of sustainability, social, or innovation considerations.
