Good

Tender Quality Score

This tender offers a good foundation with clear objectives and a disclosed estimated value, but lacks specific evaluation criteria and detailed documentation access, impacting overall quality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with general legal requirements, including a clear CPV code and a stated procedure. However, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria and a 'reveal date' for the tender documents could be a minor concern regarding procedural transparency. Deadlines are provided, but their reasonableness is not fully assessable without the full ITT.

•Missing reveal date

•No evaluation criteria specified

Clarity80/100

The description of the works is clear and provides a good understanding of the scope and purpose of the framework. Requirements are generally documented, though specific award criteria are not detailed in the provided text. The conditions for participation are outlined through the e-procurement portal.

Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration. However, the crucial 'tender documents' section indicates zero documents with content, which is a significant gap. While deadlines and value are specified, the lack of accessible documentation hinders a complete assessment.

•No document content available

Fairness85/100

The tender utilizes an open competition procedure and discloses the estimated value. The use of an e-procurement portal ('the Chest') promotes accessibility. The award is based on scoring against criteria (though not detailed here), suggesting objectivity. There are no apparent requirements tailored to specific companies.

Practicality65/100

The tender specifies an e-submission process via 'the Chest' portal, which is a positive aspect. A contract start date is provided. However, the lack of direct document URLs and the reliance on registration for access to documentation could be a minor inconvenience. Financing information is not explicitly detailed.

•No e-submission (direct URL)

Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and dates are populated logically. There are no indications of suspension or disputes. The timeline for submission and contract start appears consistent.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. It is also not indicated as EU funded. This suggests a lack of focus on sustainability criteria within the provided information.

•Not green procurement

•No social criteria
