Tender Quality Score

This tender is significantly deficient due to the absence of evaluation criteria and several mandatory requirements, rendering it unfair and unclear. Furthermore, it exhibits critical data inconsistencies.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance50/100

While the procedure type and CPV code are correct, the AI-extracted requirements indicate a critical absence of mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, and financial requirements, which are fundamental for legal compliance in public procurement. The inconsistency in value and duration also raises compliance questions.

Missing specific mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, and financial requirements (as per AI summary)
Discrepancy in estimated value and contract duration
Clarity40/100

The service description is clear, but the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a severe clarity issue. Furthermore, the lack of specified exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements (as per AI summary) leaves significant ambiguity for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Missing specific mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, and financial requirements (as per AI summary)
Completeness45/100

While basic information is present, the tender is critically incomplete due to the absence of evaluation criteria and the lack of specified exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements. The inconsistencies in financial value and duration further detract from its completeness.

Missing evaluation criteria
Missing specific mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, and financial requirements
Fairness30/100

The most significant fairness concern is the complete lack of specified evaluation criteria, which prevents bidders from understanding how their proposals will be assessed and introduces subjectivity. The absence of e-submission also presents a barrier to equal access.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission
Practicality60/100

The tender provides a contract start date and estimated value, but the lack of electronic submission is a notable practical deficiency. The inconsistency in contract duration could also lead to practical issues in planning.

No e-submission
Discrepancy in contract duration
Data Consistency50/100

The tender exhibits critical data inconsistencies, particularly regarding the estimated value (EUR vs GBP, and exact amount) and contract duration (48 months vs 4-6 years), which are fundamental pieces of information. The absence of a liable person and reveal date also contributes to a lack of data integrity.

Significant discrepancy in estimated value and contract duration
Missing 'Liable Person'
