Malmesbury Skate Park

This tender is fundamentally clear in its objective but suffers from significant deficiencies such as the absence of evaluation criteria and critical data inconsistencies, which undermine transparency and fairness.

The tender defines an open procedure and assigns an appropriate CPV code. However, it lacks explicitly stated mandatory exclusion grounds and eligibility requirements, and the 'Liable Person' is missing, which are notable legal gaps.

While the project description is clear, the tender critically lacks specified evaluation criteria. Technical and financial requirements are broadly stated but lack detail, and submission instructions are not fully provided, significantly impacting overall clarity.

Basic information like title, organization, value, and deadlines are present. However, the absence of evaluation criteria, explicit mandatory exclusion/eligibility grounds, and 'Liable Person' details, along with undefined 'Divided into Parts' characteristics, make the tender incomplete.

The lack of specified evaluation criteria is a major concern for fairness, as it hinders objective assessment and transparency. The absence of e-submission also limits equal access for potential bidders, although requirements are generic.

The tender's practicality is significantly hampered by the lack of e-submission, which is a standard expectation in modern procurement. While contract dates and duration are provided, the absence of electronic submission creates an unnecessary barrier.

There are significant inconsistencies in key data points: the contract duration is stated as 4 months in basic info but 3 months in the document summary. The estimated value also differs in currency and VAT status (£325,000 excl. VAT vs. 390,000 EUR).

The tender completely lacks any mention of green procurement, social criteria, or innovation focus, indicating a missed opportunity to integrate sustainability principles into the project.
