CHC Nursing Home Beds Preferred Provider List- NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes ICB

This tender for CHC Nursing Home Beds presents significant transparency and completeness issues, primarily due to a highly unrealistic estimated value of 1 EUR and the absence of detailed evaluation criteria. While the service description is clear, critical information for fair and compliant bidding is largely missing or inconsistent.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly. However, the estimated value of 1 EUR for an 84-month service is highly problematic for transparency and compliance with procurement valuation principles, even if intended as a placeholder for a framework. The reveal date is also missing.

The service description is clear, but the tender lacks explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and, critically, detailed evaluation criteria. The eligibility and technical requirements provided are very generic, hindering a clear understanding of what is truly required.

While basic information like title, organization, and duration is present, the tender is incomplete regarding crucial details such as comprehensive requirements, specific evaluation criteria, and detailed financial expectations beyond the problematic 1 EUR estimate. Only one out of four documents has a content summary.

The absence of specified evaluation criteria is a significant barrier to fair and objective assessment of bids. The 1 EUR estimated value also compromises transparency, potentially misleading bidders about the true scope. A contradiction exists regarding e-submission support.

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration, but the estimated value of 1 EUR makes financial planning impractical for potential providers. There is a contradiction regarding e-submission support, and a direct document URL is not provided in the snippet.

The contract start date (2023-03-31) being before the current date (2026-01-18) and the submission deadline (2030-03-28) is a significant inconsistency for a standard tender, though potentially explainable for an ongoing framework. The 1 EUR estimated value is inconsistent with the nature of the service, and there's a contradiction regarding e-submission.

The tender does not include any explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus, indicating a lack of emphasis on sustainability criteria.
