Tender Quality Score

This pre-market engagement is well-described and clear in its ambition, effectively outlining the scope for potential partners. However, it presents notable gaps in financial transparency and modern procurement practices like e-submission and explicit sustainability criteria.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

Legal compliance is good for a pre-market engagement (PME). While the procedure type is 'None', this is expected for a market sounding phase. The CPV code is appropriate, and there are no disputes or suspensions. The submission period is reasonable from today's date.

Procedure type is 'None'
Liable Person is not specified
Clarity80/100

The project description and the AI-extracted requirements for PME participation are very clear and unambiguous. The ambition to create a 'Signature Heritage, Hospitality and Events Destination' is well articulated. The absence of formal evaluation criteria is expected at this pre-market stage.

No evaluation criteria specified (expected for PME)
Completeness70/100

Completeness is moderate. Basic information, duration, and contract start date are provided, and documents are available. However, the estimated value is classified, and formal evaluation criteria are not defined, which are significant omissions from a full tender perspective, even if expected for PME.

Estimated value is not disclosed (classified)
No evaluation criteria specified
Fairness85/100

Fairness is good. The requirements appear generic enough for a PME seeking broad expertise and do not seem tailored to a specific company. Full document access is provided, and the submission period is reasonable. However, the classified value and lack of e-submission reduce overall transparency and equal access.

Estimated value is classified
No electronic submission support
Practicality65/100

Practicality is moderate. While the contract start date and duration are clearly specified, the absence of electronic submission support and the undisclosed estimated value pose practical hurdles for potential partners in assessing the opportunity and engaging efficiently.

No electronic submission support
Estimated value is not disclosed
Data Consistency90/100

Data consistency is excellent. All dates are logical and in sequence, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor gaps like the unspecified 'Liable Person' or 'Procedure Type: None' do not indicate inconsistency.

Liable Person is not specified
Procedure type is 'None'
Sustainability50/100

Sustainability is moderate. While the project's core mission to 'safeguard its heritage and public value' and include 'Education, interpretation' inherently touches upon social and cultural sustainability, explicit green procurement, social criteria, or innovation focus are not defined in the tender documentation.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No explicit social criteria

Strengths

Clear project description and ambition
Comprehensive AI-extracted requirements for PME
Good data consistency and logical timelines
Full document access provided
Relevant CPV code assigned

Concerns

Estimated value is not disclosed (classified)
No electronic submission support
Lack of explicit sustainability (green, social, innovation) criteria
Formal procedure type is 'None' (though expected for PME)
No evaluation criteria specified (expected for PME, but a future concern)

Recommendations

1. Disclose the estimated value or a reasonable range to better inform potential partners about the scale of the opportunity.
2. Implement electronic submission for future stages to enhance accessibility, efficiency, and equal participation.
3. Integrate explicit sustainability criteria (environmental, social, innovation) into future tender documents, building on the project's inherent heritage value.
