Tender Quality Score

This tender provides basic information but suffers from significant gaps in detailed requirements and evaluation criteria, impacting clarity, completeness, and fairness. The lack of e-submission and sustainability considerations further diminishes its quality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

Legal compliance is moderate. While the procedure type and CPV codes are clear, the absence of a 'Liable Person' and fully detailed evaluation criteria are concerns. The reveal date is missing, which prevents a full assessment of deadline reasonableness, though the submission period itself appears adequate for a below-threshold tender.

Missing reveal date (prevents full assessment of deadline reasonableness)
Liable Person not specified
Clarity50/100

Clarity is poor due to significant missing information. Mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and financial requirements are explicitly stated as 'No information provided'. Furthermore, while award criteria (60% quality, 40% price) are given, the specific details of how 'quality' will be evaluated are entirely absent.

Missing details for mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, and financial requirements
Evaluation criteria for 'quality' are not specified
Completeness60/100

Completeness is moderate. Basic information like title, reference, organization, value, and duration are present. However, the 'Liable Person' is missing, and there are substantial gaps in defining mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, financial requirements, and detailed evaluation criteria, which are critical components of a complete tender.

Liable Person missing
Significant gaps in mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, and financial requirements
Fairness55/100

Fairness is moderate to low. Full document access is indicated, and the value is disclosed, but the contradiction of 'Value Classified: Yes' alongside a disclosed value is confusing. A major concern is the lack of detailed evaluation criteria for 'quality', which compromises objectivity and transparency. The absence of e-submission also limits equal access for potential bidders.

Contradiction between 'Estimated Value' and 'Value Classified'
Lack of detailed evaluation criteria for 'quality' reduces transparency and objectivity
Practicality65/100

Practicality is moderate. The contract start date and duration are clear. However, the automated check indicates 'No e-submission', which is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement. While documents are available, an explicit document URL is not provided in the basic information. Financing information is limited to the estimated value.

No electronic submission supported
No explicit document URL provided in basic information
Data Consistency70/100

Data consistency is good overall, with logical dates and no disputes. However, the 'Liable Person' field is empty, and there's a notable inconsistency between the 'Estimated Value' being disclosed and 'Value Classified: Yes'. The explicit mention of 'No information provided' for several requirement categories also highlights data gaps.

Liable Person field is empty
Contradiction between 'Estimated Value' and 'Value Classified: Yes'
Sustainability20/100

Sustainability aspects are very poor. The automated checks explicitly state 'Not green procurement', 'No social criteria', and 'No innovation focus'. There is no indication that this tender incorporates any environmental, social, or innovation considerations.

No green procurement aspects
No social criteria included

Strengths

Clear description of the service required
Basic tender information (title, reference, organization, value, duration, CPV) is present
Documents are available for review
No disputes or suspensions reported

Concerns

Significant missing details for mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, and financial requirements
Lack of detailed evaluation criteria for 'quality' (60% weighting)
No electronic submission option available
Contradiction between 'Estimated Value' and 'Value Classified'
Absence of sustainability (green, social, innovation) considerations

Recommendations

1. Provide comprehensive details for all requirement categories (exclusion grounds, eligibility, technical, financial) and fully elaborate on the evaluation criteria for 'quality'.
2. Implement electronic submission to enhance accessibility, efficiency, and fairness for bidders.
3. Clarify the 'Value Classified' status and ensure consistency with the disclosed estimated value.
