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.

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.

Practicality60/100
