Tender Quality Score

This tender exhibits significant deficiencies in completeness and clarity, primarily due to inaccessible core documents and missing critical information like evaluation criteria. While basic information is present, fundamental aspects of a fair and transparent procurement process are lacking.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance65/100

The tender defines the procedure type correctly and has no disputes. However, the CPV code appears incorrect for brushes, and crucially, mandatory exclusion grounds and evaluation criteria are not specified, which are fundamental legal requirements for transparency and fairness.

Incorrect CPV code assigned (Road-sweeping vehicles instead of parts/brushes)
Mandatory exclusion grounds are not explicitly stated
Clarity55/100

The general description is clear, but the AI-extracted requirements are vague and lack detail regarding technical specifications, quantities, or performance conditions. The explicit absence of evaluation criteria severely impacts clarity for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Technical and financial requirements are vague and lack detail
Completeness40/100

While basic information like title, organization, value, and deadlines are present, the critical 'Lot L-1' document failed to download, likely containing detailed specifications. The absence of detailed requirements and evaluation criteria makes the tender significantly incomplete.

Main tender document ('Lot L-1') failed to download, indicating missing detailed specifications
Detailed technical, financial, and performance requirements are missing
Fairness45/100

The inability to access the main tender document and the complete absence of evaluation criteria severely undermine fairness and transparency. The 'UK supplier' eligibility requirement, while potentially permissible for below-threshold tenders, limits competition.

Full document access is not provided (critical 'Lot L-1' document inaccessible)
Evaluation criteria are not objective and transparent (as they are missing)
Practicality60/100

Electronic submission via the Intend portal is supported, and key dates are provided. However, the failure to download the 'Lot L-1' document presents a significant practical barrier for suppliers to prepare a compliant bid.

Main tender document ('Lot L-1') failed to download, hindering practical access to tender details
Data Consistency80/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical. Minor inconsistencies include empty 'Liable Person' and procedure codes, and the CPV code is inconsistent with the item being procured.

CPV code is inconsistent with the item being procured (vehicles vs. brushes)
Some key fields like 'Liable Person' and procedure codes are empty
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not include any explicit criteria or focus on green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. It is not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No social aspects included

Strengths

Clear general description of the procurement
Use of e-procurement portal (Intend) with free registration
Clear process for clarification questions and responses
Estimated value, duration, and key dates are specified
Open procedure for below-threshold value

Concerns

Critical tender document ('Lot L-1') is inaccessible
No evaluation criteria specified, hindering fair assessment
Mandatory exclusion grounds are not explicitly stated
Vague technical and financial requirements
Potentially incorrect CPV code and 'UK supplier' requirement limiting competition

Recommendations

1. Ensure all tender documents, especially detailed specifications, are accessible and downloadable.
2. Clearly define and publish all evaluation criteria to ensure transparency and fairness.
3. Explicitly state mandatory exclusion grounds and provide more detailed technical and financial requirements.
