Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear high-level overview and supports electronic submission, but lacks critical details such as evaluation criteria and comprehensive requirements in its public summary, impacting clarity and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender clearly defines the procedure type and CPV codes, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. The one-month submission period is generally reasonable for a below-threshold open competition. Mandatory exclusion and eligibility grounds are referenced to the full ITT pack, which is a common practice, but their absence in the immediate summary slightly reduces the score.

Mandatory exclusion and eligibility grounds not explicitly detailed in the provided summary.
Clarity60/100

While the overall objective of procuring a careers platform is clear, the provided information lacks critical details such as specific evaluation criteria and performance conditions. The characteristic 'Divided into Parts' is mentioned without further elaboration, which reduces clarity for potential bidders. Full details are behind a registration wall.

No evaluation criteria specified
'Divided into Parts' not elaborated
Completeness65/100

Basic information like title, organization, reference, estimated value, duration, and key dates are well-populated. However, the tender summary is incomplete regarding detailed requirements, mandatory exclusion/eligibility grounds, and crucially, evaluation criteria, all of which are deferred to the full ITT pack accessible via an external portal.

Detailed requirements and evaluation criteria not provided in the summary
Mandatory exclusion/eligibility grounds not detailed
Fairness60/100

The tender benefits from using an e-procurement portal for submission and disclosing the estimated value. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria in the provided information significantly impacts fairness, as it prevents transparent and objective assessment for bidders. Access to full documents requires registration.

No evaluation criteria specified
Full document access requires registration
Practicality85/100

The tender demonstrates good practicality by supporting electronic submission via a dedicated portal, providing a clear URL, and specifying the contract start date and duration.

Data Consistency80/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical. However, there is an inconsistency where the 'Value Classified' field states 'Yes' while the estimated value is clearly disclosed. The 'Liable Person' field is also empty.

'Value Classified: Yes' contradicts disclosed value
'Liable Person' is empty
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not explicitly incorporate any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus in its stated requirements or description.

No explicit sustainability, social, or innovation criteria

Strengths

Clear procedure type and CPV code
Electronic submission supported via dedicated portal
Estimated value, duration, and key dates are specified
Requirements appear generic at a high level

Concerns

Absence of specified evaluation criteria
Detailed requirements and mandatory grounds are behind a registration wall
'Divided into Parts' characteristic is not elaborated
No explicit sustainability, social, or innovation focus
Inconsistency in 'Value Classified' field

Recommendations

1. Explicitly include evaluation criteria in the public tender notice or summary to enhance transparency and fairness.
2. Provide more detail on the 'Divided into Parts' characteristic to clarify the scope for bidders.
3. Consider incorporating sustainability, social, or innovation criteria to align with modern procurement best practices.
