Tender Quality Score

This tender for ICT Managed Services is generally well-structured with clear objectives and disclosed financial information. However, it lacks specific details on evaluation criteria and submission procedures, impacting overall completeness and practicality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with basic legal requirements, including a clear CPV code and a defined procedure. Deadlines seem reasonable, although the specific length of the submission period could be tighter. No disputes are indicated. The main concern is the absence of stated evaluation criteria, which can be a legal requirement in some jurisdictions for transparency.

Missing evaluation criteria
Clarity80/100

The description of services required is clear, outlining the aim of a centralized ICT managed service model for schools. Key desired outcomes like cost-effectiveness, transparency, and a single point of contact are well-articulated. Technical capability requirements are also sufficiently detailed.

Completeness70/100

Most essential information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, duration, and start date. However, crucial details are missing regarding submission requirements and specific financial requirements beyond pricing transparency. The lack of accessible document content limits full assessment.

No document content available
Missing specific financial requirements
Fairness85/100

The tender uses an open procedure and discloses the estimated value, promoting fairness. Criteria for selection are not specified, which is a concern. Access to all documentation content is crucial for equitable participation. As no company-specific tailoring is apparent, fairness is high.

No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality65/100

The estimated value and contract duration are provided, and a clear contract start date is set. However, the lack of information on e-submission, specific submission procedures, and the unavailability of document content make the practical aspects of participation challenging.

No e-submission indicated
No document content available
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and dates are populated logically. The status is active, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions, indicating good data integrity.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention green procurement, social aspects, innovation, or EU funding. This limits the score in this category, suggesting an opportunity to integrate sustainability considerations.
