Tender Quality Score

This is a preliminary market engagement notice for an Internal Audit Service, not a formal tender. While clear in its purpose and process, it lacks formal tender documentation and specific evaluation criteria.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The notice correctly identifies the procuring entity and CPV code. Deadlines are provided, although the submission deadline is short for a formal tender. As this is pre-tender engagement, formal legal compliance for a tender is not fully applicable, but the structure is sound for its intended purpose. No disputes are indicated.

Clarity80/100

The description clearly states the purpose of the engagement: to gather market information for a future procurement. Requirements for participation (completing a questionnaire) are clear, and the submission method is well-defined. The voluntary nature and lack of obligation are explicitly stated.

Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, organization, estimated value, and duration are present. However, as this is pre-procurement, formal tender documents are not attached, and detailed technical or evaluation criteria are not specified. This is expected for a market engagement phase.

No formal tender documents provided
Fairness85/100

The process is fair as participation is voluntary and does not create any obligation or advantage for future tenders. All interested suppliers with relevant experience are encouraged to participate. The estimated value is disclosed, and the criteria for participation (relevant experience) are objective.

Practicality65/100

Submission is via email, which is a practical method for questionnaire responses. However, it does not offer e-submission through a portal, which is a common feature in formal e-procurement. Financing information and a contract start date are provided, which are useful.

No dedicated e-submission portal
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields like title, organization, estimated value, and deadlines are populated logically. There are no indications of suspension or disputes. The dates provided (submission deadline, contract start) are consistent with each other, considering the market engagement nature.

Sustainability50/100

There is no specific mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation within this market engagement notice. This is typical for preliminary engagement, but it means these aspects are not currently being considered or communicated.

No explicit mention of sustainability criteria

Strengths

Clear purpose and process for market engagement
Voluntary participation, no obligation for future tenders
Disclosure of estimated value and contract duration

Concerns

Submission deadline is very short for a formal tender response
Lack of formal tender documents and evaluation criteria (expected for this stage)
No mention of sustainability or innovation considerations

Recommendations

1. Ensure formal tender documents are comprehensive and clearly outline evaluation criteria when issued.
2. Consider incorporating sustainability and innovation into the formal tender requirements.
3. For future formal tenders, allow a more reasonable submission deadline.
