Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to open procedure and provides a CPV code. Deadlines are present, though the submission deadline might be considered tight given the complexity implied by the framework structure. No disputes are noted. Regulatory compliance is assumed but not explicitly detailed.

Clarity80/100

The description of services is clear, outlining the need for scientific divers and support for habitat monitoring. Requirements are generally documented, but specific evaluation criteria are missing, and further details are deferred to the ITT documentation.
