Tender Quality Score

This tender for bus services in Odense Municipality is generally well-structured, with a clear description of services and a substantial estimated value. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on sustainability aspects.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with general procurement regulations, including the use of a proper CPV code and an active status. The procedure type is indicated as 'Open Procedure' and 'competition', suggesting a standard legal framework. However, the submission deadline appears very short given the complexity and value of the contract, which could be a legal concern regarding reasonable deadlines.

Submission deadline may be too short for the contract's scope and value.
Clarity80/100

The description of the bus services, including route extensions and replacement services, is clear. The scope in terms of timetable hours and routes is specified. However, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria leaves bidders uncertain about how their submissions will be assessed.

Evaluation criteria are not specified.
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including the title, reference, organization, estimated value, and CPV code. The contract duration and potential extension options are also detailed. However, the lack of readily accessible full tender documents and the absence of specified evaluation criteria detract from completeness.

Full tender document content is not immediately accessible.
Evaluation criteria are missing.
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open procedure, which generally promotes fairness. The estimated value is disclosed, and the use of e-procurement is indicated. The requirements, as extracted, seem to focus on capability rather than tailoring to specific companies. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria could lead to subjective assessments.

Practicality65/100

The tender indicates e-procurement, which is a positive aspect for practicality. However, the submission deadline is very short. Crucially, information regarding the contract start date (beyond the general duration) and specific financing details are not explicitly provided in the extracted text, impacting practical assessment for bidders.

Submission deadline is very short.
Specific contract start date is not explicitly stated.
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and CPV code are populated. The dates provided (tender date and submission deadline) are logical in sequence. There are no indications of suspension or disputes. The contract duration is clearly stated.

Sustainability50/100

The tender description does not mention any specific green procurement, social aspects, or innovation requirements. This suggests a lack of focus on sustainability criteria, which is a missed opportunity for a large public contract.

No green procurement criteria mentioned.
No social aspects or innovation focus specified.

Strengths

Clear description of services and scope
Substantial estimated value disclosed
Use of e-procurement indicated
Open procedure type

Concerns

Very short submission deadline
