Tender Quality Score

This tender for the Crisis and Resilience Fund Dispersal is well-structured with clear objectives and financial information. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on the submission process, impacting its overall quality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with general procurement principles, with a clear CPV code and a stated organization. The deadline is provided, though its reasonableness is questionable given the planning status. No disputes are noted. The absence of specific procedural details or a defined procedure type slightly lowers the score.

Clarity80/100

The description of the fund's purpose and the required system functionalities (cash payments, vouchers, fraud prevention) is clear. The AI-extracted requirements further detail these needs. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria leaves some ambiguity on how bids will be assessed.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration. The indicative budget is provided. However, the tender documents themselves are not available with content, and the 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields are not specified, reducing completeness.

No document content available
Missing 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields
Fairness85/100

The tender discloses the estimated value and provides a clear description of needs, promoting transparency. The requirements are functional and objective, not appearing tailored to specific companies. The use of e-procurement is implied but not explicitly stated as mandatory. The lack of detailed evaluation criteria could be a minor concern for fairness.

Practicality65/100

The contract start date and duration are specified. Financing information is indirectly provided through the estimated budget. However, the absence of explicit mention of e-submission and a document URL for full tender documents hinders practicality. The deadline is also quite close to the contract start date.

No explicit mention of e-submission
No document URL provided
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates provided are logically ordered, with the contract start following the submission deadline. The 'planning' status is consistent with the future contract start date.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation requirements. It is also not indicated as EU funded. This lack of focus on sustainability aspects results in a lower score.

No green procurement mentioned
No social criteria mentioned
