Tender Quality Score

This tender for a highways maintenance framework is generally well-structured with a clear description of services and lots. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on submission requirements, impacting its overall completeness and practicality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with general legal requirements, including a clear CPV code and a defined procedure. The submission deadline is reasonable given the estimated value and complexity. However, the absence of a reveal date for submissions is a minor oversight.

No specific submission requirements detailed
Fairness85/100

The tender promotes fairness by clearly outlining the scope of work across multiple lots and specifying general eligibility and technical capabilities. The competitive flexible procedure suggests an open process. The estimated value is disclosed, and criteria appear objective, though not explicitly detailed.

Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration. However, the lack of information regarding e-submission and financing details limits its practicality for potential bidders. The absence of document content also hinders practical assessment.
