Tender Quality Score

This is a preliminary market engagement notice, well-described in its intent, but lacking in formal procedure details, e-submission support, and sustainability considerations for the future tender.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

While this is a planning stage notice, the absence of a defined procedure type and code, and a liable person, represents a structural data deficiency. Deadlines for preliminary market engagement are reasonable, and CPV codes are appropriately assigned.

Missing formal procedure type and code
Missing liable person
Clarity80/100

The description of the need for a new cloud-based finance system is clear and unambiguous. Requirements for the preliminary market engagement are well-documented and understandable, explicitly stating what is and isn't specified at this stage. However, formal evaluation criteria are not yet defined.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Most basic information, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, duration, and location (NUTS code), is provided. However, the tender record is incomplete regarding the formal procedure type, code, and liable person. Detailed evaluation criteria are also absent.

Missing formal procedure type and code
Missing liable person
Fairness65/100

The estimated value is disclosed, and the preliminary requirements are generic, not tailored. However, the lack of e-submission support is a significant barrier to equal access and fairness. The absence of specified evaluation criteria also introduces uncertainty regarding the objectivity of future assessments.

No e-submission support
No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality60/100

The lack of electronic submission is a major practical drawback in modern procurement. While the contract start date and duration are specified, the absence of e-submission hinders ease of participation.

No e-submission support
Data Consistency85/100

Key fields are largely populated, and dates are logical and consistent, indicating a well-structured planning phase. The absence of disputes or suspensions is positive. The main inconsistencies are the empty 'Type', 'Procedure', and 'Liable Person' fields.

Empty 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields
Empty 'Liable Person' field
Sustainability30/100

There is no explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus within the provided tender information. This indicates a lack of integration of sustainability criteria at this preliminary stage.

Not green procurement
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear description of the procurement need
Estimated value and contract duration specified
Appropriate CPV code provided
Documents available for review
Preliminary market engagement is a good practice for complex procurements

Concerns

Missing formal procedure type and code in the tender record
Lack of e-submission support
Absence of specified evaluation criteria
No integration of sustainability (environmental, social, innovation) considerations
Empty 'Liable Person' field

Recommendations

1. Ensure formal procedure type and code are specified in the tender record for improved legal compliance and data quality.
2. Implement electronic submission for the formal tender process to enhance fairness and practicality.
3. Develop and publish clear, objective evaluation criteria as early as possible in the formal procurement phase.
