Tender Quality Score

This tender for electric apron buses at Copenhagen Airport is generally well-structured, with clear objectives and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks specific details on evaluation criteria and submission format, and could benefit from stronger sustainability considerations.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with general procurement regulations, including the use of a proper CPV code and an open procedure. Deadlines are provided, though the submission deadline is quite short. No disputes are indicated. The procedure type is listed as 'None (Code: competition)', which is slightly ambiguous but likely refers to a standard competitive process.

Clarity80/100

The description of the need for electric apron buses is clear, detailing passenger growth, the expansion of remote aprons, and the replacement of an aging diesel fleet. Technical requirements are outlined, focusing on the operational needs for airside transport. However, specific evaluation criteria are missing, which impacts the clarity of how bids will be assessed.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and deadline are present. The description is detailed, and two tender documents are attached. However, crucial information like the contract duration and specific submission requirements (format, required documents) is missing, impacting overall completeness.

Missing contract duration
No specific submission format or required documents detailed
Fairness85/100

The tender uses an open procedure, making it accessible to a broad range of bidders. The estimated value is disclosed, and the requirements are generally objective, focusing on operational needs. There is no indication of requirements tailored to specific companies. The use of e-procurement is noted.

Practicality65/100

The tender specifies e-procurement, which is a positive aspect. However, the lack of a clear document URL for accessing the full tender documents and the absence of specific details on contract start date and financing information reduce practicality. The submission deadline is also very short.

No document URL provided
Missing contract start date
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and deadline are populated. There are no indications of suspension or disputes. The dates provided are logical, with the submission deadline well after the notice date. The AI-extracted requirements align with the provided text.

Sustainability50/100

While the tender focuses on electric buses, which is a sustainable choice, there are no explicit mentions of green procurement criteria beyond the vehicle type, social aspects, or innovation. This suggests a moderate approach to sustainability, primarily driven by the inherent nature of electric vehicles.

Not explicitly green procurement beyond electric vehicles
No social criteria mentioned
