•Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds.
•Vague reference to 'procurement legislation principles' without specifying the applicable legal framework.
Clarity40/100

•No tender documents attached (e.g., ITT, specifications, draft contract).
•Missing evaluation criteria.
Fairness60/100

•No e-submission method specified.
•Absence of full tender documents makes practical bid preparation difficult.
Data Consistency100/100

Information provided within the description and extracted requirements is generally consistent. However, the lack of full documentation prevents a comprehensive consistency check across all tender components.
