Tender Quality Score

This tender provides essential information and utilizes an open procedure with e-procurement, but critically lacks specified evaluation criteria, significantly impacting clarity, completeness, and fairness for potential bidders.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes appropriately, and there are no reported disputes. The use of ESPD indicates compliance with relevant procurement regulations. However, the absence of a reveal date makes it impossible to fully assess the reasonableness of the submission period from a compliance perspective.

Missing reveal date
Clarity45/100

While the description of the required equipment is clear and the AI-extracted requirements are understandable at a high level, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria severely impacts the overall clarity of the tender. Bidders cannot clearly understand how their proposals will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Performance conditions not detailed in summary
Completeness50/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration are provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the fundamental omission of evaluation criteria, which are essential for bidders to formulate a comprehensive response.

No evaluation criteria specified
Fairness35/100

The lack of specified evaluation criteria is a severe fairness issue, as it prevents objective and transparent competition. Bidders cannot prepare effectively or understand the basis of award. The missing reveal date also hinders the assessment of adequate preparation time for all potential suppliers.

No evaluation criteria specified
Missing reveal date (impacts assessment of preparation time)
Practicality70/100

The tender supports e-procurement and indicates that full documents are available online via Public Contracts Scotland, which enhances practicality. However, the contract start date is not specified, and a direct document URL is not provided in the summary information.

Contract start date not specified
Direct document URL not provided in summary
Data Consistency85/100

Most key fields are populated, and the data appears consistent with no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include missing codes for the procedure type and an empty 'Liable Person' field.

Missing codes for procedure type
Empty 'Liable Person' field
Sustainability20/100

The tender shows a complete absence of explicit sustainability, social, or innovation criteria. There is no indication of green procurement practices or any focus on broader societal benefits, resulting in a very low score in this category.

No social criteria
