Tender Quality Score

This tender documentation is generally clear and practical, but its fairness and completeness are impacted by the lack of detailed quality evaluation criteria. Sustainability aspects are entirely absent.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The procedure type and CPV codes are clearly defined, and there are no disputes. The absence of specific mandatory exclusion grounds in the summaries is a minor oversight, but the overall legal framework appears sound for a below-threshold open competition.

No specific mandatory exclusion grounds are mentioned in the provided summaries.
Clarity80/100

The service description and technical requirements are clear. The evaluation criteria weighting (70% quality, 30% price) is stated, but the detailed criteria for the 70% quality component are missing, which reduces clarity for bidders on how to best demonstrate their capabilities.

Detailed breakdown of the 70% quality evaluation criteria is not provided in the summaries.
Completeness70/100

Basic information, deadlines, value, and duration are present, and documents are available. However, the primary gap is the lack of a detailed breakdown for the 70% quality evaluation criteria, which is crucial for a comprehensive tender.

Detailed breakdown of the 70% quality evaluation criteria is not provided in the summaries.
Fairness65/100

The value is disclosed, e-procurement is supported, and requirements do not appear tailored. However, the absence of detailed, objective criteria for the 70% quality component significantly impacts objectivity and transparency, potentially leading to subjective evaluation.

Lack of detailed, objective criteria for the 70% quality evaluation component.
Practicality85/100

Electronic submission via a dedicated portal is supported, and the contract start date and duration are clearly specified, making the process practical for potential bidders.

Direct public URL for tender documents not explicitly provided in the basic information (though accessible via portal).
Data Consistency70/100

While some fields like 'Liable Person', 'Type Code', and 'Procedure Code' are empty, the dates are logical. A notable inconsistency exists between the automated check's claim of 'No evaluation criteria specified' and the content summaries explicitly stating '70% quality and 30% price'.

Empty fields for 'Liable Person', 'Type Code', 'Procedure Code'.
Contradiction between automated check ('No evaluation criteria specified') and content summaries ('70% quality and 30% price').
Sustainability30/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus, indicating a missed opportunity to integrate broader sustainability goals.

No explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus.

Strengths

Clear description of required services.
Transparent disclosure of estimated value and contract duration.
Electronic submission via a dedicated portal is supported.
Evaluation criteria weighting (70% quality, 30% price) is specified.
CPV codes are correctly assigned.

Concerns

Lack of detailed, objective criteria for the 70% quality evaluation.
Absence of specific mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided summaries.
No explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus.
Some basic fields (e.g., Liable Person, Type Code, Procedure Code) are empty.
The automated check results contradict the tender content regarding evaluation criteria.

Recommendations

1. Provide a comprehensive breakdown of the 70% quality evaluation criteria to enhance objectivity and transparency.
2. Ensure all mandatory legal requirements, including specific exclusion grounds, are clearly detailed in the tender documents.
3. Consider incorporating sustainability, social, or innovation clauses where applicable, even for standard services.
