Tender Quality Score

This tender for WCC Body Transfer Service is generally well-structured with clear requirements and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on submission procedures, impacting its overall completeness and practicality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to basic legal requirements by providing a clear CPV code, a defined procedure (open competition below threshold), and no reported disputes. Deadlines appear reasonable given the scope. The absence of explicit mention of regulatory compliance beyond standard procurement practices is noted.

Clarity80/100

The description of services is clear, outlining the core responsibilities of collecting and transporting deceased individuals with dignity. The list of potential destinations is comprehensive. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria leaves some ambiguity on how bids will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration/start date. However, the absence of content in the tender documents and the lack of specific submission requirements reduce its completeness.

No document content available
No specific submission requirements are detailed
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open competition, which promotes fairness. The estimated value is disclosed, and the requirements are generally objective, focusing on service provision rather than specific company capabilities. The lack of detailed submission requirements could be a minor concern for some.

Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration. However, the lack of information regarding e-submission and the absence of document content make it less practical for potential bidders to fully assess and prepare their submissions without further inquiry.

No e-submission
No document content available
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated logically. There are no reported disputes or suspensions, indicating good data consistency.
