Tender Quality Score

This tender for medical devices exhibits significant deficiencies in clarity, completeness, and fairness due to missing critical information such as detailed requirements and evaluation criteria, alongside a lack of modern e-submission capabilities and sustainability considerations.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance80/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes clearly, and no disputes are noted. The period from today's date to the submission deadline (31 days) is generally reasonable for an open procedure. However, the absence of a specific reveal date prevents a full assessment of the minimum bidding period from publication.

Missing tender reveal date
Clarity35/100

While the overall description of the goods is clear, the AI-extracted requirements indicate a severe lack of detail regarding mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, financial requirements, and crucially, evaluation criteria. This makes it very difficult for potential bidders to understand what is expected and how their bids will be assessed.

Missing detailed mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing detailed eligibility requirements
Completeness40/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, duration, and CPV code is present. However, the tender is critically incomplete regarding essential bidder requirements (exclusion, eligibility, financial) and the methodology for bid evaluation. The provided document summaries do not compensate for these missing details.

Missing detailed mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing detailed eligibility requirements
Fairness30/100

The tender's fairness is severely compromised by the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria, which undermines transparency and objectivity. Additionally, the lack of electronic submission capabilities creates an unnecessary barrier to equal access for all potential bidders. While requirements are generic and value is disclosed, these critical omissions significantly impact fairness.

No evaluation criteria specified, compromising objectivity and transparency
No e-submission, hindering equal access for bidders
Practicality45/100

The most significant practical drawback is the absence of electronic submission, which is a standard expectation in modern public procurement. While the contract start date and duration are known, the lack of e-submission creates an outdated and less efficient bidding process.

No electronic submission supported
Data Consistency95/100

All key fields are populated, and the data provided is logical and consistent. There are no reported suspensions or disputes, and dates are in a coherent sequence.

Sustainability20/100

The tender shows no indication of incorporating green procurement principles, social aspects, or an innovation focus. This represents a missed opportunity to leverage public spending for broader societal and environmental benefits.

Not green procurement
No social criteria included

Strengths

Clear definition of procedure type and CPV codes
All basic tender information (title, reference, organization, value, duration) is provided
Data consistency is high with logical dates and populated fields
Estimated value is disclosed and requirements are generic, not tailored

Concerns

Critical absence of detailed eligibility, financial, and exclusion requirements
Complete lack of specified evaluation criteria, severely impacting transparency and fairness
No electronic submission capability, hindering practicality and equal access
Absence of any sustainability (green, social, innovation) considerations
Missing tender reveal date for full assessment of bidding period

Recommendations

1. Urgently publish comprehensive tender documentation detailing all mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, financial requirements, and explicit evaluation criteria.
2. Implement an electronic submission system to enhance accessibility, efficiency, and fairness for all bidders.
3. Integrate sustainability criteria (e.g., green procurement, social clauses, innovation incentives) into future tenders to align with modern procurement best practices.
