Tender Quality Score

This planned tender for a collaborative delivery framework presents a well-structured opportunity with a clear scope and significant estimated value. Key areas for improvement include the availability of detailed documentation and explicit evaluation criteria.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to general legal compliance by providing essential information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and CPV code. The procedure type is specified. However, the absence of a reveal date and explicit evaluation criteria could pose minor compliance risks if not addressed in subsequent notices. Deadlines appear reasonable given the scale.

Clarity80/100

The description of the Collaborative Delivery Framework 2 (CDF2) is clear, detailing the scope of asset management activities, types of solutions (nature-based and hard engineering), project value ranges, and the division into technical lots and geographic hubs. Requirements are generally well-documented within the provided text.

Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, duration, and contract start date. The CPV code is provided. However, the crucial aspect of tender documents is flagged as having '0' documents with content/summaries, and the AI-extracted requirements indicate missing specific technical capability and financial requirements, impacting overall completeness.

No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender appears fair by disclosing the estimated value and dividing the opportunity into logical lots and hubs, promoting wider participation. The competitive flexible procedure suggests an objective selection process. There are no immediately apparent requirements tailored to specific companies, indicating a good level of fairness.

Practicality65/100

The tender is planned, and the submission deadline is provided. However, the 'Issues' section flags 'No e-submission,' which is a significant drawback for modern procurement. The availability of document URLs is not confirmed, and financing information is not detailed. The contract start date is specified.

No e-submission
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, duration, and contract start date are populated logically. There are no indications of suspension or disputes. The dates provided are consistent with a planned tender.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention green procurement, social aspects, innovation, or EU funding in the provided text. This is a missed opportunity to align with modern sustainability goals.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
