Refurbishment of Units 1-8 and external yard replacement at Admiral Hyson Industrial Estate

This tender for industrial unit refurbishment is generally well-structured with clear basic information and requirements, but suffers from a lack of specified evaluation criteria and absence of e-submission, impacting fairness and practicality.

The tender clearly defines the restricted procedure and assigns an appropriate CPV code. No disputes or suspensions are noted. While the summary lacks explicit detail on mandatory exclusion grounds, it directs bidders to the full documents, which is standard practice. The missing reveal date is a minor transparency issue.

The project description and scope of work are clear and unambiguous. AI-extracted requirements are understandable as summaries, but critical details like evaluation criteria are entirely missing, and other key requirements (e.g., insurance mandate) refer to the full documents, reducing overall clarity.

Basic information, financial details, timeline, and location are well-provided. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria and the summary nature of the requirements (referring to full documents for details) indicate a degree of incompleteness in the readily available information. The missing reveal date also contributes.

Full document access is indicated via Public Contracts Scotland, and the estimated value is disclosed, which are positive for fairness. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly hinders transparency and equal opportunity for bidders. The lack of e-submission also creates an unnecessary barrier.

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified, and financing information is available. However, the lack of electronic submission is a significant practical drawback, potentially increasing administrative burden for bidders. A direct document URL is not provided in the summary.

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor omissions like 'Liable Person' and 'N/A' codes for type/procedure are not critical inconsistencies.

The tender does not include any explicit green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards. This represents a significant missed opportunity for modern public procurement.
