Clerk of Works: Ordnance Lane, Willow House & Lowfield Plot A

This tender demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainability and clear project objectives, but is significantly hampered by critical omissions in legal, procedural, and evaluation details, impacting transparency and fairness.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes correctly, and there are no disputes. However, the absence of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds and the missing reveal date are significant legal compliance concerns.

The project description and technical capability requirements are clear and unambiguous, particularly regarding the ambitious net-zero and Passivhaus goals. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria severely diminishes overall clarity for potential bidders.

While basic information like title, reference, organization, deadlines, value, and duration are present, the tender is notably incomplete due to the lack of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, financial, and crucially, evaluation criteria.

The lack of specified evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as it prevents objective and transparent assessment. The absence of e-submission also limits equal access. While technical requirements are specialized, they appear project-driven rather than tailored.

The tender specifies contract duration and start date, which is practical. However, the lack of electronic submission support and a direct document URL are significant practical drawbacks for bidders.

Most key fields are populated and dates are logical. However, there is a notable inconsistency between the estimated value in EUR (350,000 EUR) and the value mentioned in the document summary (£280,000), which are not equivalent. Missing N/A codes for procedure type are minor.

The tender demonstrates a strong focus on environmental sustainability (net-zero carbon, Passivhaus, low embodied carbon) and innovation. However, it completely lacks any explicit social sustainability criteria.
