Tender Quality Score

This tender for batteries and torches is generally well-structured, with clear basic information and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks specific details on evaluation criteria and mandatory/eligibility requirements, and the submission process is not explicitly e-procurement-enabled.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to basic legal requirements by providing a clear procedure, CPV code, and no reported disputes. Deadlines appear reasonable for an open procedure. However, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria could be a minor compliance concern in some jurisdictions.

Clarity80/100

The description of the goods and the scope of the framework agreement is clear. Requirements related to palletisation and delivery locations are specified. However, the lack of detailed eligibility and exclusion grounds, and the absence of explicit evaluation criteria, reduce overall clarity.

No specific mandatory exclusion grounds are detailed.
No specific eligibility requirements are detailed.
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration. However, the crucial 'Tender Documents' section indicates zero documents with content, which severely impacts completeness. The absence of detailed exclusion and eligibility criteria also contributes to this.

Documents with content/summaries: 0
No specific mandatory exclusion grounds are detailed.
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open procedure, which promotes fairness. The estimated value is disclosed, and the criteria for delivery are objective. However, the lack of publicly accessible document content and the absence of explicit evaluation criteria could be perceived as less transparent.

No document content available.
Missing evaluation criteria.
Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration. However, it does not explicitly mention e-submission, and the availability of document URLs is not confirmed. Financing information is also absent, impacting the practicality for potential bidders.

No e-submission.
No document URL.
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and deadlines are populated consistently. There are no reported suspensions or disputes. The dates provided are logical within the context of a tender process.

Sustainability50/100
