Tender Quality Score

This tender for a National Registry of Robotically Assisted Surgery is generally well-structured with clear objectives and a substantial estimated value. Key areas for improvement include the explicit specification of evaluation criteria and the provision of document content.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to open procedure and specifies a CPV code. Deadlines are provided, though the submission deadline might be considered tight given the complexity. No disputes are indicated. The procedure appears to be regulatory compliant.

Clarity80/100

The description of the registry's aims and technical requirements is detailed and comprehensive. The NICE EVA recommendations are clearly referenced. However, explicit evaluation criteria are missing, which impacts overall clarity.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including estimated value, contract duration, and start date. However, the content of the tender documents is not accessible, significantly impacting completeness. The absence of a reveal date for documents is also noted.

No document content available
Missing reveal date
Fairness85/100

The tender is open, and the estimated value is disclosed. The criteria for bids exceeding the core value are clear. The process appears objective, and the use of e-procurement is implied by the structure, though not explicitly stated as mandatory. No specific company tailoring is evident.

Practicality65/100

The contract start date and duration are specified. Financing information is partially addressed through the core value and potential ceiling value, and the requirement for a self-sustaining model. However, the lack of explicit e-submission details and accessible document URLs reduces practicality.

No e-submission
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated. There are no indications of suspension or disputes. The dates provided are logical within the context of the tender.

Sustainability50/100
