Tender Quality Score

This tender exhibits significant deficiencies in transparency and consistency, particularly regarding evaluation criteria and contract duration, which severely impact its fairness and clarity. While basic information is present, the lack of actual document content and electronic submission options are notable drawbacks.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance60/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes correctly. However, the absence of a clear reveal date makes it impossible to verify if the minimum legal submission period is met, and the lack of specified evaluation criteria is a significant legal transparency and fairness issue.

Missing reveal date
No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity55/100

The core description and AI-extracted requirements are generally clear. However, the critical absence of evaluation criteria makes it impossible for bidders to understand how their proposals will be judged. Furthermore, there is a significant inconsistency between the stated contract duration (24 months) and the service period (three years 2026-2028).

No evaluation criteria specified
Inconsistent contract duration (24 months vs. 3 years/2026-2028)
Completeness50/100

While basic information like title, reference, organization, value, and location are present, the tender lacks actual content for the 10 listed documents, which is a major omission. The absence of evaluation criteria and the unspecified 'Liable Person' also contribute to incompleteness.

No actual tender document content provided
Missing evaluation criteria
Fairness40/100

The complete absence of evaluation criteria is a critical flaw, making the procurement process non-transparent and potentially unfair. The lack of electronic submission and the unavailability of actual tender document content further hinder equal access and transparency. Requirements do not appear tailored.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission
Practicality55/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration (though inconsistent). However, the lack of electronic submission is a significant practical drawback for bidders. The absence of actual document content also implies a lack of direct access or URLs for essential tender documents.

No e-submission
Actual tender document content not provided (implying no direct URL)
Data Consistency45/100

A major inconsistency exists between the stated 'Contract Duration: 24 months' and the description's 'three-year contract 2026-2028' and AI-extracted requirement 'service period of three years (2026-2028)'. This fundamental discrepancy could lead to significant contractual issues. The 'Liable Person' and 'reveal date' fields are also empty.

Inconsistent contract duration (24 months vs. 3 years/2026-2028)
Missing reveal date
Sustainability20/100

The tender makes no mention of any environmental, social, or innovation aspects, indicating a complete absence of sustainability considerations in the procurement process.

No green procurement
No social criteria
