Tender Quality Score

This tender exhibits significant deficiencies in critical areas such as legal compliance, completeness of requirements, and fairness due to missing detailed evaluation criteria and lack of e-submission. While basic information is present, the overall quality is moderate to poor.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance55/100

The tender critically lacks specified mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and financial requirements, which are fundamental for legal compliance in an open procedure. While the CPV code is appropriate and no disputes are noted, these omissions are severe.

Mandatory exclusion grounds not specified
Eligibility requirements not specified
Clarity60/100

While the service description is clear and unambiguous, the absence of detailed evaluation criteria beyond a 60% quality / 40% pricing split, and the lack of specified mandatory requirements, significantly diminish the clarity for potential bidders regarding qualification and assessment.

Detailed evaluation criteria for 'quality' not specified
Mandatory exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements are unclear due to absence
Completeness50/100

Critical information such as mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, financial requirements, and specific evaluation criteria for quality are not defined. The mention of 'Divided into Parts' without further detail also indicates incompleteness.

Mandatory exclusion grounds not defined
Eligibility requirements not defined
Fairness55/100

The absence of detailed and objective evaluation criteria creates a significant risk of subjective assessment, undermining transparency and equal treatment for bidders. Furthermore, the lack of e-submission capabilities hinders equal access and efficiency for all potential bidders.

Lack of detailed and objective evaluation criteria
No e-submission support
Practicality60/100

The tender does not support electronic submission, which is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement processes. Other practical details like contract start date and duration are well-defined.

No electronic submission supported
Data Consistency75/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. However, some procedure codes are missing, and the 'Divided into Parts' characteristic lacks detail, representing minor inconsistencies.

Procedure codes are missing
'Divided into Parts' characteristic lacks detail
Sustainability20/100

The tender makes no mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation, indicating a complete lack of focus on sustainability criteria, which is a missed opportunity for public value.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
