Tender Quality Score

This Pre-Market Engagement (PME) is well-described with clear objectives for a socially impactful training program, but suffers from several data inconsistencies and lacks electronic submission, which could hinder market participation.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

As a Pre-Market Engagement (PME), the tender appropriately lacks formal eligibility and exclusion grounds. The CPV code is suitable, and there are no disputes. However, the basic information fields for 'Type' and 'Procedure' are marked as 'None', which is inconsistent with the clear PME description.

Basic info 'Type' and 'Procedure' are 'None' despite clear PME description.
Clarity85/100

The description of the required trauma-informed training program is exceptionally clear, detailing the scope, target audience, desired outcomes, and delivery methods. The AI-extracted requirements accurately reflect these details. The absence of evaluation criteria is appropriate for a PME.

Completeness70/100

Most essential information is provided, including title, organization, description, and location. However, the contract duration is ambiguously stated as '11 months' and also includes a placeholder '(INSET TERM)'. The estimated value is disclosed in the description (£50k max annual) but marked as 'Not disclosed' in the structured financial information.

Placeholder for contract duration '(INSET TERM)'
Inconsistency in value disclosure
Fairness65/100

The requirements are generic and outcome-focused, not appearing tailored to a specific company. The maximum annual value is disclosed in the description, promoting transparency. However, the lack of electronic submission ('No e-submission' flag) is a significant barrier to equal access and participation for potential suppliers.

No electronic submission support
Practicality60/100

The tender lacks support for electronic submission, which is a major practical drawback for suppliers. While a contract start date is provided, the contract duration is inconsistently stated with a placeholder, reducing clarity for planning.

Inconsistent contract duration with placeholder
Data Consistency65/100

There are several inconsistencies: 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields are 'None' despite the clear PME description; the estimated value is stated as 'Not disclosed' in structured data but £50k in the description; and contract duration is both '11 months' and '(INSET TERM)'.

Inconsistent procedure type
