Tender Quality Score

This tender provides basic project information and supports electronic submission, but suffers from critical deficiencies in legal compliance, clarity, and fairness due to the absence of explicit evaluation criteria and mandatory exclusion grounds.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance55/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly, and there are no reported disputes. However, the absence of explicitly stated mandatory exclusion grounds and evaluation criteria represents a significant compliance gap with national procurement regulations. The missing reveal date also impacts transparency.

Mandatory exclusion grounds not explicitly stated
No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity55/100

The project description is clear and the AI-extracted requirements are understandable, though basic. The critical lack of specified evaluation criteria severely diminishes the overall clarity for potential bidders regarding how their submissions will be assessed. The absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds also creates ambiguity.

No evaluation criteria specified
Mandatory exclusion grounds not explicitly stated
Completeness60/100

Basic information such as title, organization, value, duration, and location is provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the absence of detailed evaluation criteria and explicit mandatory exclusion grounds. The mention of the tender being 'Divided into Parts' without further elaboration also indicates a lack of completeness.

Missing evaluation criteria
Mandatory exclusion grounds not explicitly stated
Fairness35/100

The tender discloses the estimated value and the requirements appear generic, not tailored. Electronic submission is supported, promoting equal access. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a fundamental flaw that severely compromises fairness and transparency, as bidders cannot understand the basis for award decisions.

No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality85/100

Electronic submission is supported via a dedicated portal, and key dates like contract start and duration are clearly specified. While a direct document URL isn't explicitly provided, it's assumed to be accessible via the submission portal. Limited detailed financing information beyond the estimated value is a minor point.

Limited financing detail beyond estimated value
Data Consistency85/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor gaps include the 'Liable Person' and 'Type Code' fields not being populated, and the missing reveal date.

'Liable Person' not populated
'Type Code' not populated
Sustainability25/100

The tender shows no indication of incorporating green procurement principles, social aspects, or an innovation focus. It is not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria
