Tender Quality Score

This tender for statutory examination services demonstrates good foundational information but suffers from significant gaps in explicit legal, financial, and evaluation criteria, alongside a lack of e-submission and sustainability considerations.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance55/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code appropriately, and no disputes are reported. However, the explicit absence of mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and financial requirements in the AI-extracted summary, along with missing evaluation criteria, represents a notable gap in legal compliance and transparency.

Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing explicit eligibility requirements
Clarity60/100

The service description and technical capability requirements are clearly stated. However, the overall clarity is significantly hampered by the explicit absence of evaluation criteria and the lack of detailed mandatory exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements, leaving bidders uncertain about key aspects of the process.

No evaluation criteria specified
Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds
Completeness55/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, deadlines, value, duration, and location are well-provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the explicit absence of mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, financial requirements, and all evaluation criteria, which are crucial for a comprehensive tender package.

Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing explicit eligibility requirements
Fairness50/100

The tender value is disclosed, and documents are available. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria severely undermines the objectivity and transparency of the process. Additionally, the lack of e-submission may hinder equal access for all potential bidders. The technical requirements, while specialized, do not appear overtly tailored.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission
Practicality60/100

Key practical details like contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the absence of electronic submission support is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for bidders.

No e-submission
Data Consistency85/100

Most key fields are populated, dates are logical, and there are no reported suspensions or disputes. A minor inconsistency exists between the estimated value stated in EUR (29.16M) and the approximate GBP (£24.3M) mentioned in document summaries, though this is likely a currency conversion.

Minor discrepancy in estimated value currency reporting (EUR vs. GBP in summaries)
Sustainability30/100

The tender explicitly lacks any focus on green procurement, social aspects, or innovation criteria. It is also not indicated as EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.

Not green procurement
No social criteria

Strengths
