London and Quadrant Housing Trust - External Wall review – Fire Inspections and Remedials Dynamic Purchase System (DPS)

This tender establishes a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for fire inspections and remedial services, demonstrating clear purpose and generic requirements, but is significantly hampered by missing critical information and data inconsistencies.

The tender explicitly states compliance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and uses a valid DPS procedure. The CPV code is appropriate. However, there's a minor inconsistency in classifying the procedure as 'Restricted' while describing it as a DPS, and the reveal date is missing.

The overall purpose and scope of the DPS are clearly described, and the AI-extracted eligibility and technical requirements are straightforward. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria for admission to the DPS is a significant clarity gap.

Basic information is present, but key details such as the estimated value and specific financial requirements are missing. The contract duration of 1 month and start date immediately after the DPS closing date are confusing for a DPS, which typically runs for a longer period.

The tender promotes fairness through e-procurement and division into parts, and requirements appear generic. The long open period for a DPS is fair. However, the non-disclosure of the estimated value and, critically, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria for admission significantly reduce transparency and could be perceived as unfair.

Electronic submission is indicated, which is practical. However, the lack of a direct document URL and the absence of financing information (estimated value) reduce practicality. The contract duration and start date are confusing in the context of a DPS.

There are inconsistencies between the stated 'Restricted' procedure type and the description of a 'Dynamic Purchasing System'. The contract duration (1 month) and start date (immediately after DPS closure) are illogical for a typical DPS. The 'Liable Person' field is empty.

The tender does not mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is not EU funded, indicating a complete lack of emphasis on sustainability criteria.
