Tender Quality Score

This tender for consultancy services is generally well-structured with clear objectives and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks specific details on evaluation criteria and submission requirements, and does not explicitly incorporate sustainability or innovation.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to basic legal requirements with a specified CPV code and a clear open competition procedure. Deadlines appear reasonable for a below-threshold procurement. No disputes are noted.

Clarity80/100

The description of Project Sponge and its objectives is clear. The division into four work packages provides a good structural overview. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria leaves a gap in understanding how proposals will be assessed.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Essential information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration are present. The description is adequate, but the lack of detailed requirements for exclusion, eligibility, technical capability, financial standing, and submission, along with no document content available, reduces overall completeness.

No document content available
No specific exclusion grounds detailed
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open competition, suggesting a fair process. The value is disclosed, and the procedure is standard. The lack of specific tailored requirements to particular companies is positive. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria could be perceived as a minor fairness concern.

Missing evaluation criteria
Practicality65/100

The contract start date and duration are specified. However, the absence of information regarding e-submission and financing details limits the practicality for potential bidders.

No e-submission specified
No financing information provided
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated logically. There are no reported disputes or suspensions, indicating good data consistency.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. While the project's aims (flood resilience, climate adaptation) have inherent sustainability links, these are not formally integrated into the procurement criteria.

No social criteria
