Tender Quality Score

This tender for Ecology Services is generally well-structured with clear eligibility and technical requirements, though specific evaluation criteria are missing. It promotes sustainability and innovation, but the short submission deadline is a concern.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with general procurement regulations, including a clear CPV code and open procedure. However, the 'reveal date' for evaluations is missing, which can impact transparency. Deadlines, while potentially short, are specified. No disputes are reported.

Missing reveal date for evaluations
Clarity80/100

The description of services required is reasonably clear, outlining key areas such as compliance, BNG, account management, and community engagement. Eligibility and technical requirements are itemized, aiding understanding. The conditions for participation are implicitly linked to meeting these requirements.

Completeness70/100

Most essential information like title, reference, organization, estimated value, duration, and deadlines are present. However, none of the tender documents are directly accessible or summarized, which is a significant omission. The specific nature of BNG requirements could be more detailed.

No tender document content available for review
Specific BNG requirements could be more detailed
Fairness85/100

The tender uses an open procedure, which is fair. The value is disclosed, and criteria, although not explicitly detailed for evaluation, are implied by the technical requirements. Access is through a specific e-sourcing portal, which is standard. There are no indications of requirements tailored to specific companies.

Evaluation criteria are not specified
Practicality65/100

Submission is facilitated through an e-sourcing portal, which is practical. The contract start date and duration are clear. Financing information is implicitly linked to the estimated value. However, the very short turnaround time between the tender publication (implied by the date) and the submission deadline poses a practical challenge for potential bidders.

Very short submission deadline relative to tender publication date
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and deadlines are populated logically. The tender status is 'active,' and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. Dates are consistent within the provided information.

Sustainability50/100

The tender explicitly calls for environmentally sound and sustainable practices, innovation in engagement, and enhancing the university's sustainability profile. However, specific green procurement metrics or social value clauses are not detailed, and it is not indicated as EU funded.

Lack of specific green procurement metrics
Lack of detailed social value clauses
