Tender Quality Score

This tender for waste collection and recycling services presents a clear scope but suffers from significant internal inconsistencies and a lack of critical detail, particularly regarding evaluation criteria and the procurement process.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance60/100

While the procedure type and CPV code are appropriate, the tender summary exhibits several compliance risks. Key issues include the missing reveal date, contradictory information regarding value classification, and the fundamental inconsistency between a 'Divided into Parts' characteristic and the requirement for a 'single supplier.' The contract start date being identical to the submission deadline is also a significant legal and practical flaw. The absence of explicit evaluation criteria in the provided summary is a major transparency and compliance concern.

Missing reveal date
Contradictory value classification ('Value Classified: Yes' vs explicit value)
Clarity65/100

The description of the required waste collection and recycling services is clear. However, the overall clarity is severely hampered by the contradiction between the tender being 'Divided into Parts' and the explicit requirement for a 'single supplier.' Furthermore, the absence of specified evaluation criteria and the repeated deferral to 'full tender documents' for critical details (like exclusion grounds and detailed service requirements) reduce the clarity for potential bidders.

'Divided into Parts' vs 'single supplier' contradiction
Missing explicit evaluation criteria
Completeness60/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, deadlines, estimated value, duration, and location are provided. However, the tender summary is incomplete regarding crucial aspects like explicit evaluation criteria and detailed service requirements, which are deferred to external documents not fully summarized. The internal contradictions also indicate a lack of complete, coherent information.

Missing explicit evaluation criteria
Detailed service requirements not fully provided/summarized
Fairness50/100

The fairness of this tender is significantly compromised by the explicit absence of evaluation criteria, which prevents bidders from understanding how their proposals will be assessed. The lack of e-submission also creates a barrier to equal access. The contradiction between 'Divided into Parts' and the 'single supplier' requirement introduces ambiguity that could disadvantage bidders. While the technical requirements do not appear tailored, the process transparency is low.

Missing explicit evaluation criteria (major)
No e-submission
Practicality55/100

Practicality is negatively impacted by the stated lack of e-submission, which is a significant hurdle in modern procurement. A critical practical flaw is the contract start date being identical to the submission deadline, making the timeline unworkable. While duration and financing are clear, these fundamental issues reduce the tender's practical feasibility.

No e-submission
Impossible contract start date (same as submission deadline)
Data Consistency30/100

The tender information exhibits severe data inconsistencies. Key contradictions include the 'Estimated Value' being explicitly stated while simultaneously marked as 'Value Classified: Yes.' Furthermore, the tender is characterized as 'Divided into Parts' yet explicitly requires a 'single supplier.' Most critically, the 'Contract Start' date is identical to the 'Submission Deadline,' which is illogical and unworkable.

'Value Classified: Yes' contradicts explicit estimated value
'Divided into Parts' contradicts 'single supplier' requirement
Sustainability50/100

The tender's core service involves waste management, which is inherently environmental. However, the provided information does not indicate any explicit green procurement criteria, social aspects, or innovation focus beyond the basic service scope. The automated checks also confirm the absence of these elements.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No social aspects

Concerns

Critical internal contradictions (e.g., 'Divided into Parts' vs 'single supplier,' 'Value Classified' vs explicit value, contract start date vs submission deadline).
Absence of explicit evaluation criteria, severely impacting fairness and clarity.
Lack of e-submission, hindering accessibility and modern procurement practices.
Reliance on unsummarized 'full tender documents' for critical details.
No explicit sustainability, social, or innovation criteria.

2. Explicitly define and publish comprehensive evaluation criteria to ensure transparency and fairness for all bidders.
