Tender Quality Score

This tender offers a clear scope for school catering services across multiple primary schools, with a reasonable duration. However, it lacks detailed evaluation criteria and specific technical/financial requirements, impacting completeness and potentially fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to follow a competitive flexible procedure and specifies a CPV code. Deadlines are provided, though the submission deadline relative to the contract start date might be tight. No disputes are noted. Regulatory compliance is assumed but not explicitly detailed.

Clarity80/100

The description of the service (school catering for 8 primary schools as one lot) is clear. Eligibility requirements are basic but present. However, the absence of specific technical capability and financial requirements, as well as evaluation criteria, reduces overall clarity.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, and CPV code is present. Contract duration and start date are specified. However, the lack of detailed technical, financial, and exclusion grounds requirements, and the absence of document content, significantly impacts completeness.

No document content available
Missing reveal date
Fairness85/100

The tender is structured as a single lot for all schools, which is a common practice. The estimated value is disclosed, and the procedure is competitive. The requirement for shortlisted companies to make presentations is standard. However, the lack of detailed technical and financial requirements could lead to subjective evaluations.

Practicality65/100
