Tender Quality Score

This tender for vehicle repair and maintenance services exhibits moderate quality, with clear basic descriptions and electronic submission, but is significantly hampered by the complete absence of evaluation criteria and undisclosed financial details, impacting fairness and completeness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The procedure type and CPV codes are correctly defined, and there are no disputes. The submission deadline of 2026-03-17 provides approximately 34 days from today's date (2026-02-11), which is generally reasonable for preparation. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria is a significant legal compliance issue, as is the missing reveal date which prevents full assessment of the actual preparation period.

Missing evaluation criteria
Missing reveal date
Clarity60/100

The overall description of the framework agreement and the nature of services required is clear and unambiguous. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria makes it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed, and financial/exclusion grounds are noted as 'Not specified', significantly reducing overall clarity.

No evaluation criteria specified
Financial requirements not specified
Completeness70/100

Basic information like title, reference, organization, duration, and submission deadline are present, and all documents are available. However, the estimated value is not disclosed (classified), and crucial details such as evaluation criteria, specific financial requirements, and mandatory exclusion grounds are missing or unspecified, leading to significant gaps in completeness.

Estimated value not disclosed
No evaluation criteria specified
Fairness55/100

Electronic submission and the division into parts (lots) promote equal access and competition. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as bidders cannot objectively prepare their proposals or understand the basis of selection. The classified estimated value also reduces transparency for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Estimated value not disclosed
Practicality65/100

Electronic submission is supported, which is practical, and the contract duration is clearly specified. However, the contract start date is not known, and detailed financing information (beyond 'not disclosed') is unavailable, which can hinder bidders' planning and resource allocation.

Contract start date not known
Financing information not available (estimated value not disclosed)
Data Consistency60/100

The tender is active with no disputes, and dates are logical where provided. However, several key fields are unpopulated or marked 'Not specified,' including the liable person, specific procedure codes, estimated value, and crucial requirements like financial and exclusion grounds, indicating data gaps and affecting consistency. The missing reveal date also impacts consistency.

Liable person empty
Procedure codes empty
Sustainability20/100

There is no indication within the provided information that this tender incorporates green procurement principles, social aspects, or an innovation focus. It is also not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
