Tender Quality Score

This tender for 'Works in Default - Waste, Vegetation & Drainage' by Manchester City Council is generally well-structured with clear descriptions and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks explicit evaluation criteria and detail on sustainability aspects.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to many legal compliance aspects, including a clear CPV code (50000000) and an open procedure. No disputes are noted. The deadline of 27 days is relatively short, which could be a concern for some bidders, but is not explicitly stated as unreasonable. The absence of a reveal date for the bid opening is a minor oversight.

Missing reveal date
Clarity80/100

The tender's description is clear, defining the scope of works for both lots effectively. The requirements, especially for technical capabilities, are well-documented and understandable. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria is a significant gap.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, and description. Estimated value, contract duration, and start date are specified. However, crucial details like the content of the tender documents (0 documents with content/summaries) and detailed financial requirements are missing.

No document content available
No specific financial requirements detailed
Fairness85/100

The tender appears fair, with full document access implied (though not explicitly confirmed by content availability). The value is disclosed, and the criteria for bidding on one or both lots are clear. The use of an open procedure promotes fairness. There are no immediately obvious tailored requirements for specific companies.

Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration, and financing is implied through the estimated value. However, the lack of information regarding e-submission and document URLs makes the submission process less practical. The AI-extracted requirements suggest the deadline might be tight.

No e-submission specified
Document URLs not provided
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated. There are no noted suspensions or disputes. The dates provided (submission deadline and contract start) are logically sequenced. This section shows strong consistency.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is not flagged as EU funded, which might suggest a lack of emphasis on these areas, though not a direct negative. This is a significant area for improvement.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
