Tender Quality Score

This is a clearly communicated market engagement activity, not a formal tender, which provides good clarity on its preliminary status but lacks the completeness, transparency, and practical features expected of a full procurement process.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance85/100

The notice clearly identifies itself as a market engagement, not a formal tender, which is a transparent approach. The CPV code is appropriate, and there are no reported disputes. While formal procedure types are missing, this is acceptable for a pre-procurement activity.

Clarity90/100

The description of the required services is very clear, and the explicit statement that this is a market engagement and not a formal tender is excellent for avoiding ambiguity. The AI-extracted requirements also clearly state what is not applicable at this preliminary stage.

Completeness65/100

Basic information like title, reference, organization, deadlines, duration, and location is provided. However, the estimated value is classified, and formal requirements and evaluation criteria are explicitly absent, making it incomplete from a formal tender perspective.

Estimated value classified
No formal requirements or evaluation criteria
Fairness60/100

Full document access is available. However, the classified estimated value significantly reduces transparency and fairness for potential market participants. The absence of electronic submission also creates a barrier to equal access.

Estimated value classified
No electronic submission
Practicality55/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified, which is practical for planning. However, the lack of electronic submission is a major practical drawback in modern procurement, and the classified value hinders financial planning for potential suppliers.

No electronic submission
Estimated value classified
Data Consistency75/100

The overall description and timeline are consistent with the 'planning' status and market engagement nature. Dates are logical. However, key fields like 'Type,' 'Procedure,' and 'Liable Person' are unpopulated, indicating some data gaps.

Unpopulated key fields (Type, Procedure, Liable Person)
Sustainability20/100

There is no mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus within the provided information. This indicates a complete absence of sustainability considerations.

No sustainability criteria
No social aspects
