Tender Quality Score

This tender for supported housing services is clear in its core objective but suffers from significant deficiencies in legal compliance, completeness, and fairness due to the absence of critical information such as evaluation criteria, mandatory exclusion grounds, and specific financial requirements. The lack of e-submission also presents a practical barrier.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance45/100

Legal compliance is significantly compromised by the missing reveal date, absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, lack of specific financial requirements, and critically, the complete omission of evaluation criteria. These are fundamental requirements for a compliant procurement process.

Missing reveal date to assess deadline reasonableness
No explicit mandatory exclusion grounds stated
Clarity60/100

While the service description and AI-extracted requirements for eligibility and technical capability are clear, the complete absence of evaluation criteria severely impacts the overall clarity for potential bidders, making it difficult to understand how proposals will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Lack of detailed performance conditions beyond general service description
Completeness50/100

The tender provides basic information but is significantly incomplete due to the critical absence of evaluation criteria, explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, and specific financial requirements. Details on how the tender is 'Divided into Parts' are also missing.

No evaluation criteria specified
No explicit mandatory exclusion grounds stated
Fairness40/100

Fairness is severely undermined by the complete lack of evaluation criteria, which prevents objective and transparent assessment of bids. The absence of an e-submission option and the missing reveal date (hindering assessment of preparation time) further reduce equal access and fairness.

No evaluation criteria specified, impacting transparency and objectivity
No e-submission option, limiting equal access
Practicality50/100

The absence of an e-submission option is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for bidders. The lack of a direct document URL also reduces ease of access.

No e-submission option
Document URL not provided
Data Consistency75/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical. However, the contradiction between 'Value Classified: Yes' and the disclosed estimated value, along with the unpopulated 'Liable Person' field, indicate minor data inconsistencies.

Contradiction between 'Value Classified: Yes' and the disclosed estimated value
Missing 'Liable Person' information
Sustainability40/100

While the core service addresses a significant social need (housing for the homeless), the tender documentation itself does not explicitly include additional green procurement criteria, broader social aspects for the provider, or an innovation focus. It is also not EU funded.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No additional social criteria for the provider beyond the core service

Concerns

Absence of explicit evaluation criteria is a major flaw for transparency and fairness.

No electronic submission option, hindering accessibility and efficiency.
Details on how the tender is 'Divided into Parts' are not provided.
