Tender Quality Score

This tender is generally well-structured with clear requirements, but lacks specific financial details and explicit evaluation criteria, impacting completeness and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender follows an open procedure, which is standard. The CPV code is appropriate. While no disputes are noted, the absence of a reveal date and explicit evaluation criteria could pose minor compliance risks if these are mandatory under specific regulations not detailed here. Deadlines appear reasonable for the scope.

Clarity80/100

The description of the required service (biennial dry dock for a specific vessel) is clear and concise. The AI-extracted requirements list key areas to be addressed by bidders. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria means bidders cannot fully understand how their submissions will be assessed.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, organization, and CPV code is present. The contract duration and start date are specified. However, the estimated value is not disclosed, which is a significant omission for potential bidders. The number of tender documents is stated, but their content is not accessible, hindering a full assessment.

Estimated value not disclosed
No document content available
Fairness85/100

The open procedure and clear description promote fairness. However, the undisclosed estimated value and the lack of specified evaluation criteria make it difficult for bidders to gauge the opportunity accurately and understand the selection process, potentially impacting the perceived fairness.

Value not disclosed
Missing evaluation criteria
Practicality65/100

The contract start date and duration are provided. Financing information is not explicitly mentioned. The primary practicality concern is the lack of information regarding e-submission, which is a standard in modern procurement. The accessibility of tender documents is also an issue.

No e-submission mentioned
No document content available
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields like title, reference, organization, CPV, and dates are populated. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates provided (submission deadline, contract start) are logically sequenced.

Sustainability50/100

There is no explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation within the tender details. This suggests a lack of focus on these important sustainability criteria.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
