Tender Quality Score

This tender for a LoRaWAN stimulation project offers a clear description and relevant technical requirements, but lacks detailed evaluation criteria and accessible tender documents, impacting overall quality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with general procurement regulations for below-threshold open competitions. The CPV code is appropriate. However, the absence of a reveal date for the tender documents is a minor procedural oversight. Deadlines are not flagged as unreasonable in the provided data.

Clarity80/100

The project's objectives and the required contractor's expertise are clearly articulated in both English and Welsh. The description of the services expected is detailed, outlining the promotion of LoRaWAN awareness and direct engagement with businesses. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria leaves bidders uncertain about how their submissions will be assessed.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, description, contract duration, and estimated value. The CPV code and NUTS code are provided. However, the critical issue of zero documents being available with content significantly hinders completeness, as bidders cannot access the full scope of requirements or submission details.

No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open competition, promoting fairness. The estimated value is disclosed, and the requirements are focused on technical capability and experience, which are objective. There are no apparent requirements tailored to specific companies. The use of e-procurement is implied by the nature of tenders but not explicitly stated as mandatory for submission.

Practicality65/100

The contract start date and duration are specified. The estimated value range is provided, offering financial context. However, the absence of explicit information regarding e-submission and the lack of accessible tender documents reduce the practicality for potential bidders. Financing information is not detailed.

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

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, and dates are populated. The estimated value and contract duration are consistent with the description. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates provided (submission deadline and contract start) are logically sequenced.

Sustainability50/100

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