Tender Quality Score

This tender for railway maintenance services demonstrates good basic information and structured data, but is significantly hampered by the absence of explicit evaluation criteria and a lack of electronic submission capabilities.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes correctly, and no disputes are reported. While mandatory exclusion and eligibility grounds are not explicitly detailed in the summary, they are implied as standard, suggesting general compliance with procurement regulations.

Mandatory exclusion/eligibility grounds not explicitly detailed in summary.
Clarity60/100

The description of the works for Lot 1 and Lot 2 is specific, referencing internal documents. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly reduces the overall clarity of the bidding process.

No evaluation criteria specified.
Reliance on unsummarized internal documents for full detail.
Completeness65/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, and duration is complete. However, the main Tender Notice document failed to provide a summary, and evaluation criteria are explicitly missing, indicating significant gaps in the provided information.

Main Tender Notice document summary unavailable.
No evaluation criteria specified.
Fairness55/100

The tender's fairness is severely impacted by the explicit lack of evaluation criteria, which compromises objectivity and transparency. The absence of electronic submission also creates barriers to equal access for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified.
No electronic submission (e-submission).
Practicality60/100

While contract start and duration are clear, the lack of electronic submission is a major practical drawback, potentially increasing administrative burden for bidders and the contracting authority.

No electronic submission (e-submission).
Data Consistency85/100

Key financial and timeline data are consistent, with logical dates and a reasonable conversion between EUR and GBP values. Minor fields like 'Liable Person' and procedure codes are unpopulated, but this does not affect overall data integrity.

Minor unpopulated fields (Liable Person, Type/Procedure codes).
Sustainability20/100
