Approved Providers List for the provision of Therapeutic Support Services

This tender establishes an Approved Providers List for therapeutic support services, demonstrating good overall structure and a clear purpose, but suffers from critical omissions regarding evaluation criteria and detailed requirements.

The tender defines an Open procedure and uses appropriate CPV codes. The long duration and contract start date are consistent with an Approved Providers List (APL) mechanism. While the summary lacks detailed mandatory exclusion grounds, it refers to full documents. The 'Over Sum Limit: No' for a 30M EUR value is unusual but may reflect UK-specific thresholds post-Brexit. The missing reveal date is a minor transparency issue.

The overall description of the APL and service is clear. However, the AI-extracted requirements are very high-level, lacking specific details for financial, technical, and submission aspects. Critically, the tender explicitly states 'No evaluation criteria specified', which is a major deficiency, making it impossible for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed.

Basic information like title, reference, organization, value, and duration are present. However, the tender is incomplete regarding critical details such as evaluation criteria and specific requirements (financial, technical, submission formats). The 'Official PDF Version' being marked 'Required: No' is confusing and suggests potential incompleteness in document processing or clarity.

The tender benefits from a disclosed value, generic requirements that do not appear tailored, and the use of e-procurement. The submission deadline is also very generous. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria severely undermines fairness and transparency, as bidders cannot objectively prepare or understand the basis of selection.

Electronic submission is supported, and key dates like contract start and duration are provided. The estimated value is clear. While a direct document URL isn't explicitly stated in the summary, 'Documents available' implies accessibility. The lack of detailed submission requirements might pose minor practical challenges.

The dates (reference 2021, contract start 2022, submission 2027) are logical for an Approved Providers List that remains open for applications. Key fields are mostly populated, though 'Liable Person' is missing. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The 'E-Procurement' characteristic contradicts an automated check, but the characteristic itself is consistent.

The service itself (therapeutic support for families) inherently addresses social aspects. However, the tender documentation does not explicitly include green procurement criteria, social clauses beyond the service description, or an innovation focus. It is not EU funded.
