Tender Quality Score

This tender for Power2 Keyworkers services demonstrates a clear purpose and detailed service description but suffers from significant gaps in completeness, particularly regarding evaluation criteria and explicit legal requirements, alongside practical limitations like the lack of e-submission.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes correctly, and no disputes are noted. While the reveal date is missing, the 31-day submission period from today's date is reasonable. However, the absence of explicit mention of full compliance with EU/national procurement regulations and detailed mandatory disclosure requirements in the provided text prevents a higher score.

Missing tender reveal date
Lack of explicit reference to full EU/national procurement regulation compliance
Clarity55/100

The description of the services and the technical capabilities required is clear and detailed. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly reduces clarity for potential bidders on how their proposals will be judged. Performance conditions are also not explicitly detailed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Performance conditions not clearly stated
Completeness50/100

While basic information, deadlines, value, duration, and location are provided, there are significant omissions. The AI-extracted requirements explicitly state that mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and financial requirements are not mentioned. Crucially, evaluation criteria are also missing, making the tender incomplete.

Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing eligibility requirements
Fairness55/100

The tender discloses the value and offers a reasonable preparation period. However, the absence of clear and objective evaluation criteria severely compromises transparency and fairness for all bidders. The lack of e-submission also creates a barrier to equal access and ease of participation.

No evaluation criteria specified, impacting objectivity and transparency
No e-submission, hindering equal access
Practicality50/100

The contract start date and duration are known, and financing information is available. However, the lack of electronic submission is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement. Document URLs are not explicitly provided in the tender information, though documents are listed as available.

No electronic submission supported
Document URLs not explicitly provided in the tender information
Data Consistency70/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical. There are no reported suspensions or disputes. However, a notable inconsistency exists between the estimated value stated in EUR (1,520,044.80 EUR) and the GBP value (£1.26 million) mentioned in the document summaries, which converts to approximately 1.46 million EUR, indicating a discrepancy.

Discrepancy between estimated value in EUR and GBP mentioned in document summaries
Sustainability50/100

The core service of supporting vulnerable children and young adults inherently addresses significant social aspects. However, the tender does not explicitly include additional green procurement criteria, innovation focus, or further social clauses beyond the service's fundamental nature. It is also not EU funded.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No explicit innovation focus
