Tender Quality Score

This tender for a national framework for stairlifts and related equipment is well-structured with clear lotting and a reasonable estimated value. Key concerns include the lack of publicly available evaluation criteria and limited detail on sustainability aspects.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender follows an open procedure and correctly identifies a CPV code. While general regulatory compliance is assumed, the absence of specific exclusion grounds and detailed evaluation criteria leaves some room for interpretation regarding legal thoroughness. Deadlines are provided.

Clarity80/100

The description of the framework, its purpose, and the division into lots and sub-lots is clear. The process for expressing interest and downloading documents is also well-explained. However, the lack of explicitly stated evaluation criteria could lead to ambiguity for bidders.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, duration, and start date. The CPV code is provided. However, the actual content of the tender documents is not available for review, impacting completeness assessment.

No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender uses an open procedure, which generally promotes fairness. The value is disclosed, and the process of registration and expressing interest via a public portal is standard. The division into lots is a positive step for accessibility. No specific company tailoring was identified.

Practicality65/100

The tender utilizes an e-procurement portal for registration and document access, which is practical. However, the lack of explicit mention of e-submission (though implied by portal use) and the absence of detailed financing information reduce practicality scores. A contract start date is specified.

No e-submission explicitly mentioned
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are consistently populated. The status is active, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. Dates are logical within the tender lifecycle.

Sustainability50/100

There is no explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation within the provided information, suggesting these are not primary focuses of this tender. The funding source is not indicated as EU-funded.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
