Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear description of the required security services but is significantly hampered by the absence of evaluation criteria and mandatory exclusion grounds, impacting fairness and legal compliance. The lack of e-submission also presents a practical drawback.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender clearly defines the procedure type and CPV codes. However, the absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and, critically, evaluation criteria, raises significant legal compliance concerns. The missing reveal date also prevents full assessment of the 7-day rule from publication.

No explicit mandatory exclusion grounds stated
Missing evaluation criteria
Clarity80/100

The service description, operational requirements, and performance conditions are well-documented and highly clear. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria is a major deficiency that significantly reduces the overall clarity of the tender process.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Basic information, financial details, and timelines are largely complete. However, the tender lacks specified evaluation criteria, and one of the listed documents failed to download, which could indicate incomplete documentation access. Minor fields like 'Liable Person' and procedure codes are also empty.

Missing evaluation criteria
One tender document failed to download
Fairness65/100

The estimated value is disclosed, and the requirements appear generic, not tailored to a specific company. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria severely compromises the objectivity and transparency of the selection process. The lack of e-submission and the failed document download also hinder equal access for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission option
Practicality65/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the absence of an electronic submission option is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for bidders and the contracting authority.

No electronic submission supported
Data Consistency90/100

Key dates, financial information, and contract duration are logical and consistent across the provided information. There are no reported suspensions or disputes. Minor inconsistencies include empty codes for procedure type and a missing 'Liable Person' field.

Empty codes for procedure type
Missing 'Liable Person'
Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly include any green procurement, social aspects beyond standard staff training, or innovation focus. This is common for local, below-threshold tenders but results in a lower score for this specific criterion.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No explicit social aspects

Strengths

Clear and detailed service description and requirements
Value, duration, and key timelines are well-defined
CPV code and procedure type are clearly specified

Contract terms regarding insurance, H&S, and reporting are outlined

Concerns

Absence of evaluation criteria, severely impacting fairness and clarity
Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Lack of electronic submission option
One tender document failed to download
Missing tender reveal date

Recommendations

1. Immediately publish clear and objective evaluation criteria to ensure fairness and transparency.
