Tender Quality Score

This tender for rail station enhancements is well-structured with a clear description of works and estimated value. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on the submission process beyond language requirements.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with general procurement regulations, including a proper CPV code and a stated procedure type (Competitive Flexible Procedure). Deadlines are provided, though the submission deadline might be considered short given the scope. No disputes are noted. The 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields are marked as 'None', which is a minor inconsistency.

Type and Procedure fields marked as 'None'
Clarity80/100

The description of the project, including the specific stations and types of enhancements, is clear and detailed. The AI-extracted requirements are also well-defined, covering technical capabilities and financial aspects. However, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria hinders full clarity on how bids will be assessed.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, contract duration, and start date. The CPV code is provided. However, the lack of content for the tender documents and the absence of specific mandatory exclusion grounds or detailed eligibility requirements (beyond language) reduce completeness.

No document content available
No specific mandatory exclusion grounds detailed
Fairness85/100

The tender discloses the estimated value and provides access to documents (though content is not available). The criteria for selection are not specified, which could impact fairness. The requirement for submission in multiple languages (English, Estonian, Latvian, Polish, Lithuanian) is unusual and could be perceived as tailored if not justified by the expected bidder pool, potentially impacting fairness.

No evaluation criteria specified
Requirement for submission in multiple specific languages (ET, LV, PL, LT) may lack justification and impact fairness
Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration. However, it lacks information on the e-submission process, making it unclear how bids should be submitted electronically. Financing information is not detailed, and the URL for documents is not provided.

No e-submission process specified
No URL for documents provided
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates provided (submission deadline, contract start) are logically ordered. The 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields being 'None' is a minor inconsistency.

Type and Procedure fields marked as 'None'
Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. It is not indicated as EU funded. This suggests a lack of focus on sustainability criteria.

No mention of green procurement
