Tender Quality Score

This tender for batteries and torches is generally well-structured with clear basic information and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks specific details on evaluation criteria and mandatory/eligibility requirements, and the submission process is not fully detailed.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to basic legal requirements by providing a clear procedure, CPV code, and no reported disputes. The deadline is within a reasonable timeframe for an open procedure, though the 'reveal date' is missing. The absence of specific mandatory exclusion and eligibility grounds is a minor concern.

Missing reveal date
Clarity80/100

The description of the goods and the scope of the framework agreement is clear. The reference to Annex 1 (Specification) and Annex 2 (Pricing Schedule) for detailed requirements is appropriate. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria leaves some ambiguity for bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration. However, the AI-extracted requirements indicate that specific mandatory exclusion grounds and eligibility requirements are not detailed, and the content of the tender documents is not available for review.

No specific mandatory exclusion grounds detailed
No specific eligibility requirements detailed
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open procedure, which promotes fairness. The estimated value is disclosed, and the criteria for delivery are objective. However, the lack of detailed evaluation criteria could be perceived as a minor fairness issue, and the absence of information on e-submission makes it difficult to assess the full fairness of the process.

Missing evaluation criteria
Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration. However, it is not explicitly stated if e-submission is mandatory, and the URL for documents is not provided. Financing information is also not detailed, which could impact bidder practicality.

No e-submission
Document URL not provided
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated. There are no reported suspensions or disputes. The dates provided are logically consistent.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU funded, which limits the assessment of sustainability criteria.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
