Original Tender Description

The Council will fund the supplier for those individuals who are eligible for planned care packages at: • MacGregor Tithe (Extra Care Scheme), Hospital Street, Tamworth, B79 7EF • Chestnut Grange (Extra Care Scheme), All Saints Road, Burton upon Trent, DE14 3HL. • Tyldesley Court (Retirement Housing Complex), High Street, Burton upon Trent, DE14 1LJ which opens in 2026. The care commissioned at the sites will be paid on the Authority's extra care hourly rate. The Authority will not subsidise any care that is delivered outside of the commissioned Care Package throughout the day and night. The Authority will not provide any additional funding for care delivery that is in addition to the Care Packages of Service Users residing at the Sites. The Housing Providers of the Sites may fund the delivery of unplanned care and support at the Extra Care Sites with the supplier. This decision has not yet been taken by the Housing Providers at the point the tender is commenced. This service is not in the scope of this Agreement, but there is an expectation that if requested the supplier would enter into a separate agreement for any such service with the Housing Provider. Residents located at the Sites may approach the supplier to self-fund care packages, social support or housekeeping tasks. Self-funded care packages are not within the scope of this Agreement, but there is an expectation that if requested the supplier would enter into a separate agreement for any such service with Residents. The supplier must ensure that they develop and maintain a positive and constructive working relationship with the Housing Providers during the term of this Agreement. There will be one supplier who will deliver planned care and support at all 3 sites: MacGregor Tithe (Extra Care Scheme), Hospital Street, Tamworth, B79 7EF, Chestnut Grange (Extra Care Scheme), All Saints Road, Burton upon Trent, DE14 3HL and Tyldesley Court (Sheltered accommodation), High Street, Burton upon Trent, DE14 1LJ. Therefore, the advertised value for the total estimated agreement value for planned care and support at the sites will be £3,250,590 - £3,413,119 excluding VAT.

Tender Quality Score

This tender for care packages presents a clear service description but suffers from critical omissions regarding evaluation criteria and internal inconsistencies, significantly impacting fairness and completeness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance70/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes appropriately. However, the absence of a clear reveal date and detailed mandatory exclusion grounds raises transparency concerns. The 'Required: No' status for the official PDF is also unusual.

Missing reveal date
No specific mandatory exclusion grounds detailed
Clarity55/100

While the service description and AI-extracted requirements are generally clear, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a major clarity flaw. Additionally, the tender's characteristic of being 'Divided into Parts' directly contradicts the requirement for a 'one supplier' model, creating significant ambiguity.

No evaluation criteria specified
Contradiction between 'Divided into Parts' characteristic and 'one supplier' requirement
Completeness55/100

Basic information, deadlines, value, and duration are provided. However, the critical omission of evaluation criteria makes the tender incomplete for bidders to formulate a comprehensive response. Furthermore, only one of four documents is summarized, and the main PDF is marked as 'not required,' suggesting incomplete documentation for a full assessment.

Missing evaluation criteria
Incomplete documentation provided for analysis (only 1 of 4 docs summarized, main PDF 'Required: No')
Fairness45/100

The lack of specified evaluation criteria is a severe impediment to fairness and transparency, as bidders cannot understand the basis of selection. The absence of e-submission can also create barriers to equal access. While the 'one supplier' requirement is restrictive, it is not necessarily tailored, but it limits competition.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission
Practicality60/100

The tender specifies contract duration and start date, and financing information is available. However, the absence of electronic submission support is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for bidders.

No e-submission
No document URL provided
Data Consistency60/100

A significant inconsistency exists between the 'Divided into Parts' characteristic and the explicit requirement for a 'one supplier' to deliver services across all sites. There is also a minor inconsistency in presenting the estimated value in both EUR and a GBP range without clear conversion or primary currency designation.

Contradiction between 'Divided into Parts' characteristic and 'one supplier' requirement
Inconsistent currency/value presentation
Sustainability50/100

The tender inherently addresses social aspects through the provision of care packages. However, there is no explicit mention or focus on additional green procurement criteria, innovation, or broader social value beyond the core service delivery.

No explicit green procurement focus
No innovation focus
