Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear description of the required goods and essential contract details, but its overall quality is hampered by a lack of specific evaluation criteria and the absence of electronic submission, which reduces transparency and accessibility.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly, and there are no reported disputes. The submission period from today's date is reasonable. However, the summary lacks specific mandatory exclusion grounds and financial stability criteria, which are typically detailed in full tender documents. The missing reveal date in the summary is a minor transparency issue.

Missing reveal date in summary
Lack of specific exclusion/financial criteria in summary
Clarity60/100

The description of the goods and their purpose is clear. However, the AI-extracted requirements are generic, deferring specific details to the full documentation. Crucially, the tender explicitly lacks specified evaluation criteria, which is a significant impediment to understanding how bids will be judged.

No evaluation criteria specified
AI-extracted requirements are generic and lack detail
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, duration, and location is provided. All listed documents are processed. However, the summary is incomplete regarding specific evaluation criteria and detailed technical/financial requirements, necessitating access to external documents for full understanding.

Missing specific evaluation criteria in summary
Detailed requirements deferred to external documents
Fairness65/100

Full document access is provided via a URL, and the estimated value is disclosed. The requirements appear generic and not tailored. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly undermines transparency and objectivity. The flagged 'No e-submission' also poses a barrier to equal access for all potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission
Practicality65/100

A direct URL for documentation access, contract start date, and duration are clearly provided, which is practical. However, the lack of electronic submission support is a notable practical drawback in modern procurement.

No electronic submission support
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields are largely populated, and dates are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The only minor inconsistency is the empty 'Liable Person' field.

'Liable Person' field is empty
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not include any explicit mention of green procurement, social criteria, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU-funded, which often implies higher sustainability standards.
