Tender Quality Score

This tender outlines a clear need for traffic data collection services but suffers from a critical lack of detailed documentation and evaluation criteria, significantly hindering transparency and fair competition.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance100/100

The tender appears to follow an open procedure below threshold. However, the absence of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds and specific legal requirements within the provided extract raises questions about full compliance with national procurement regulations, especially regarding standard exclusion and selection criteria.

No specific mandatory exclusion grounds detailed in the provided information
Missing evaluation criteria
Clarity40/100

The description of services is generally clear, outlining the scope of work. However, the lack of detailed tender documents makes it impossible to assess the clarity of specific technical specifications, contractual terms, and submission instructions. The extracted requirements are high-level and lack granular detail.

No documents attached, no document content available
Broad and unspecific eligibility and technical capability requirements
Completeness83/100

The provided information is severely incomplete. While basic tender information is present, the absence of any tender documents, detailed specifications, and crucially, evaluation criteria, makes this tender fundamentally incomplete for potential bidders.

No documents attached, no document content available
Missing evaluation criteria
Fairness60/100

The open procedure and encouragement of SMEs/VCSEs suggest an intent for fairness. However, the severe lack of detailed requirements, technical specifications, and evaluation criteria creates a highly opaque process, making it difficult for bidders to prepare competitive offers and potentially favoring incumbent suppliers or those with prior knowledge.

Missing evaluation criteria, undermining objective selection
No documents attached, leading to information asymmetry among bidders
Practicality40/100

From a bidder's perspective, preparing a practical and competitive bid is extremely challenging due to the lack of detailed information. The contracting authority will also face challenges in evaluating bids without clear criteria and detailed specifications.
