Tender Quality Score

This tender for Site Characterisation Delivery Partner is well-structured with clear objectives and a substantial budget. Key areas for improvement include the availability of tender document content and the specification of evaluation criteria.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with general regulatory requirements, including a clear CPV code and no reported disputes. The procedure type is not specified, which is a minor omission. Deadlines are provided, but their reasonableness for a tender of this scale and complexity is not fully assessable without more context on the procurement process.

Clarity80/100

The description of the Site Characterisation Delivery Partner role is clear, outlining support for design and delivery management of Deep Investigation Boreholes. The AI-extracted requirements list key areas to be addressed by bidders. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria hinders a complete understanding of how proposals will be assessed.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration are present. However, the critical issue of 'Documents with content/summaries: 0' significantly impacts completeness, as potential bidders cannot review the full scope of requirements. The 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields are also not specified.

No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender discloses the estimated value and provides a clear reference number. The requirements listed (exclusion, eligibility, technical, financial, submission) are standard. The absence of specific company tailoring is noted. The lack of specified evaluation criteria could be perceived as a fairness concern, as it leaves room for subjective assessment.

Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration. However, the 'Issues' section flags 'No e-submission', which is a significant drawback in modern procurement. The availability of document content is also crucial for practical participation.

No e-submission
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates provided (submission deadline, contract start) appear logically sequenced, with a sufficient gap.

Sustainability50/100

The 'Issues' section explicitly states 'Not green procurement', 'No social criteria', and 'No innovation focus'. The tender is also not indicated as EU funded. This suggests a lack of emphasis on sustainability aspects.
