Tender Quality Score

This is a preliminary market engagement notice, clearly outlining its purpose and what information is available at this stage. While good for a PME, it lacks details expected in a formal tender, particularly regarding financial transparency and future process specifics.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The notice correctly identifies itself as preliminary market engagement, which explains the absence of a formal 'Type' or 'Procedure'. The CPV code is appropriate, and there are no disputes. However, the classified estimated value is a minor transparency concern.

Formal procedure type and tender type are not defined (though expected for PME)
Estimated value is classified
Clarity80/100

The description of the preliminary market engagement is clear and unambiguous. The AI-extracted requirements clearly state what information is and isn't available at this PME stage, which contributes to good clarity.

Completeness70/100

Basic information, deadlines for PME, and contract duration/start date are provided. However, the estimated value is not disclosed, and formal tender requirements (technical, financial, evaluation criteria) are explicitly stated as not yet defined, impacting overall completeness for the full procurement lifecycle. One document failed to download.

Estimated value is not disclosed and classified
Formal tender requirements (technical, financial, evaluation criteria) are not yet defined
Fairness85/100

Eligibility requirements for PME are broad and not tailored to specific companies. The classified estimated value reduces transparency. The 'No e-submission' flag is a concern if it applies to the future formal tender, but PME registration is likely electronic. The failed document download is a minor access issue.

Estimated value is classified, reducing transparency
One document failed to download
Practicality65/100

Contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, financing information is not available due to the classified value. The 'No e-submission' flag, if referring to the future formal tender, represents a significant practical drawback for potential bidders.

Financing information (estimated value) is not available
The 'No e-submission' flag suggests potential lack of electronic submission for the formal tender
Data Consistency90/100

The data provided is largely consistent and logical. The 'None' values for Type and Procedure are consistent with the 'planned' status of a preliminary market engagement. Dates are logical.

Sustainability50/100

There is no explicit mention of green procurement, social criteria (beyond the service itself), or innovation focus. While this is a PME, the absence of these considerations for a social service framework represents a missed opportunity for future tender development.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No explicit social criteria beyond the service nature

Strengths

Clear purpose as preliminary market engagement
Well-defined eligibility for PME participation
Appropriate CPV code assigned
Contract duration and start date are specified
Good data consistency for available information

Concerns

Estimated value is not disclosed and classified
Formal procedure type and tender type are not defined
Lack of explicit sustainability, social, or innovation criteria
One tender document failed to download
The 'No e-submission' flag raises concerns for the future formal tender process

Recommendations

1. Disclose the estimated contract value to enhance transparency for the subsequent formal tender.
2. Clearly define the formal procurement procedure type and tender type in the future tender documents.
3. Integrate explicit sustainability, social, and innovation criteria into the future tender documents, especially given the nature of the services.
