Tender Quality Score

This is a Request for Information (RFI) for early market engagement, not a formal tender. It aims to gather market input for a future procurement. While it lacks formal tender elements, it provides a clear purpose and estimated value.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The RFI is not a formal procurement, so strict legal compliance for tenders is not applicable. However, it clearly states it's not a call for competition and outlines a process for market engagement. The deadline is provided, and the CPV code is relevant. No disputes are noted.

Clarity80/100

The purpose of the RFI is clearly articulated: to engage the market and influence the structure of a potential future tender. The process for participation is outlined, including how to express interest and where responses will be submitted. However, specific evaluation criteria for the RFI responses are not detailed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration are present. The submission deadline is specified. However, the RFI is for market engagement, not a full tender, so many typical tender completeness elements (like detailed technical requirements or full documentation) are absent by design. No documents with content are available.

No document content available
Fairness85/100

As an RFI, fairness is assessed by the transparency of the engagement process. The RFI is open to all interested suppliers, and the process for participation is clear. The estimated value is disclosed. The use of an e-tendering portal for responses is mentioned, promoting accessibility. No requirements appear tailored to specific companies.

Practicality65/100

Suppliers need to submit an expression of interest via email first, then will be invited to the e-tendering portal (Atamis) for the response. This two-step process is functional. The contract start date is provided. Financing information is not detailed, which is typical for an RFI. The duration is specified.

No e-submission (initial expression of interest is via email)
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields like title, reference, organization, estimated value, and deadlines are populated. The status is 'planning', which aligns with an RFI. There are no noted suspensions or disputes. Dates are logically presented.

Sustainability50/100

There is no mention of green procurement, social aspects, innovation, or EU funding in this RFI. This is common for early market engagement, but it means these aspects are not being considered at this stage.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
