Supported Housing - Living Independently For Everyone (LIFE) (576-NYC-HA)

This tender for supported housing services demonstrates a clear social objective and good initial market engagement, but is significantly hampered by critical omissions in evaluation criteria, lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, and a major inconsistency in contract duration.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly, and no disputes are noted. However, the explicit absence of specific mandatory exclusion grounds is a serious legal compliance issue. The 'missing reveal date' makes a full assessment of the deadline's reasonableness challenging, though 19 days from today is generally acceptable for an open procedure.

The description of the service and its objectives is clear and detailed. The AI-extracted requirements are understandable. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly reduces clarity for potential bidders, making it difficult to understand how bids will be assessed.

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, deadlines, value, duration, and location is provided. Nevertheless, the tender is incomplete due to the missing evaluation criteria and the limited availability of summaries for all attached documents (only 1 of 4). The 'Liable Person' field is also empty.

The estimated value is disclosed, and the AI-extracted requirements appear generic, suggesting no tailoring to specific companies. Preliminary market engagement was conducted. However, the absence of evaluation criteria severely compromises transparency and fairness, and the lack of e-submission creates barriers to equal access for all potential bidders.

Key practical details like contract start date, duration, and estimated value are provided. The major practical drawback is the lack of electronic submission, which is a standard expectation in modern procurement for efficiency and accessibility. A direct URL for the full tender documents is not explicitly provided in the given data.

Most key fields are populated, and the tender is active with no disputes. However, there is a critical inconsistency regarding the contract duration: the PDF summary states '7 years' while the main tender information specifies '36 months' for the same estimated value. This is a fundamental discrepancy that could lead to significant confusion and potential disputes.

The tender inherently addresses significant social aspects by focusing on supported housing for vulnerable individuals, which is a strong positive contribution to social sustainability. However, it lacks explicit mention of green procurement criteria or an innovation focus.
