Tender Quality Score

This tender for school cleaning services is generally well-structured with clear requirements and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on the submission process, impacting its overall practicality and legal compliance.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to general regulatory requirements with a clear CPV code and no reported disputes. The procedure is competitive. However, the absence of a reveal date and specified evaluation criteria could pose challenges in ensuring a fully compliant and transparent process.

Missing reveal date
No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity80/100

The description of services is comprehensive, detailing the scope of cleaning and caretaking duties. Requirements for a proactive approach and innovation are stated. However, the lack of explicit evaluation criteria leaves some ambiguity on how 'best value' will be determined.

Lack of explicit evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including estimated value, duration, and contract start date. The description is detailed. However, the absence of accessible tender documents with content and the lack of specified evaluation criteria detract from its completeness.

No document content available
Missing evaluation criteria
Fairness85/100

The tender discloses the estimated value and provides access to the organization's details. The criteria for qualification are general ('suitably qualified'). The procedure is competitive, and the deadline appears reasonable for a restricted procedure. No specific company tailoring is evident.

Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration, and financing is implied by the estimated value. However, the lack of information regarding e-submission and the absence of accessible tender documents hinder practical engagement for potential bidders.

No e-submission specified
No document content available
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated. There are no reported suspensions or disputes. The dates provided for the submission deadline and contract start are logically aligned, although the submission deadline appears to be the same as the contract start date, which is unusual.

Submission deadline is the same as contract start date
Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, innovation focus, or EU funding, which are common elements in modern tenders. This suggests a lack of emphasis on these areas.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
