KMCAS-125 - Electronic Market Place for Supported Living Services

This tender presents a significant opportunity for Supported Living Services, demonstrating good intent for competition and social criteria. However, critical gaps in evaluation criteria and specific financial/exclusion requirements significantly impact its clarity and fairness.

The tender explicitly states compliance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (Light Touch Regime) and uses an appropriate CPV code. There are no reported disputes. However, the missing tender reveal date makes it impossible to fully assess compliance with initial publication timelines.

The service description and the types of requirements (eligibility, technical, submission) are clear. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria is a major clarity issue, leaving bidders uncertain about how their proposals will be judged. Specific mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements are also not detailed in the summary.

Basic information, estimated value, and contract duration are well-defined. However, the tender is incomplete due to the absence of evaluation criteria, specific financial requirements, and mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided summary. The missing reveal date also contributes to incompleteness.

The tender explicitly aims to increase competition by allowing new providers to join the Electronic Market Place and supports e-procurement, which are strong positives for fairness. The value is disclosed. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a significant fairness concern, as it introduces subjectivity and reduces transparency for bidders.

The tender supports e-procurement and clearly specifies the contract duration and estimated value, enhancing practicality. The lack of an explicit document URL in the provided information and a specific contract start date are minor practical omissions.

The core data points such as title, reference, organization, description, deadline, value, and CPV code are consistent. Minor inconsistencies include 'Liable Person' being empty and 'Code: N/A' for procedure type. The missing reveal date is a data gap.

The tender explicitly includes 'Social Criteria' and the service itself (Supported Living Services) has a strong social focus, which is a significant positive for sustainability. However, there is no mention of green procurement or innovation focus.
