Tender Quality Score

This tender presents a clear service description and basic information but suffers from significant gaps in crucial details such as evaluation criteria and specific financial requirements, impacting clarity and fairness. The lack of e-submission and sustainability considerations are also notable drawbacks.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender generally adheres to legal requirements with a clearly defined open procedure and appropriate CPV codes. The 37-day submission period is reasonable. However, the summary lacks specific details on mandatory exclusion grounds, which ideally should be readily apparent in the provided information.

No specific mandatory exclusion grounds detailed in summaries
Clarity60/100

While the core service description is clear and unambiguous, the absence of detailed financial requirements and, critically, award criteria significantly diminishes the clarity for potential bidders. This makes it challenging to understand how proposals will be evaluated and what financial thresholds apply.

No evaluation criteria specified
No specific financial requirements detailed in summaries
Completeness65/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, and duration are well-specified. However, the tender summary explicitly states that financial requirements and award criteria are not provided, which are essential components for a complete and actionable tender package.

No evaluation criteria specified
No specific financial requirements detailed in summaries
Fairness55/100

The lack of specified evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as it introduces subjectivity into the assessment process and prevents bidders from understanding the basis of selection. The absence of e-submission also slightly hinders equal access, though requirements do not appear tailored.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission
Practicality60/100

The primary practical drawback is the explicit lack of electronic submission, which is a standard expectation in modern procurement for efficiency and accessibility. While other practical details like contract start date and duration are well-defined, this omission is significant.

No e-submission
Data Consistency70/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. However, the 'Liable Person' field is empty, and the summaries explicitly note missing details for exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and award criteria, indicating some data gaps in the provided information.

Liable Person field is empty
Missing details for exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and award criteria in summaries
Sustainability20/100

The tender shows no explicit integration of green, social, or innovation-focused sustainability criteria. This indicates a missed opportunity to promote broader public value and align with modern procurement best practices for sustainable development.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
