Emotional Wellbeing Service – Children We Care for and Care Experience Young People

This tender outlines a crucial emotional wellbeing service with clear requirements and a strong social focus, but is significantly hampered by the absence of evaluation criteria and lack of e-submission.

The procedure type and CPV code are correctly defined, and there are no reported disputes. However, the missing reveal date, lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, and critically, the absence of specified evaluation criteria are significant compliance gaps. The ambiguous status of the 'Official PDF Version' also raises concerns.

The service description is exceptionally clear, detailing target groups, pathways, geographical scope, duration, and performance conditions. AI-extracted requirements are also clear and specific. The primary drawback is the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria, which significantly hinders bidders' understanding of how their proposals will be assessed.

Basic information, financial details, timeline, and location are well-provided. Requirements are defined. However, the tender is incomplete due to the explicit absence of evaluation criteria. Furthermore, the status of the 'Official PDF Version' being 'Required: No' for a document listed as '4 total' raises concerns about the full set of tender documents being clearly identified and accessible.

The estimated value is disclosed, and the requirements do not appear tailored to a specific company. The characteristic 'Divided into Parts' can enhance fairness. The submission period (54 days from today's date) is reasonable. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria severely compromises transparency and objectivity, impacting fairness. The automated check also flags 'No e-submission,' which limits equal access.

Key practical details like contract start date, financing, and duration are clearly specified. However, the lack of electronic submission (flagged by automated check) is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement. The absence of a clear document URL and the 'Required: No' status for the main PDF also suggest potential practical hurdles for bidders accessing full documentation.

Most key fields are populated, and the provided dates (submission, contract start, duration) are logical and consistent with each other. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor gaps include the empty 'Liable Person' field and the missing reveal date, but these do not introduce inconsistencies in the existing data.

The tender explicitly states 'Innovation Focus' as a characteristic. The service itself is inherently social, addressing critical mental health and wellbeing needs for vulnerable children and young people, which aligns strongly with social sustainability objectives. However, the automated checks indicate 'Not green procurement' and 'No social criteria' (interpreted as explicit social clauses for suppliers), and 'Not EU funded.'
