Tender Quality Score

This tender notice represents a preliminary market engagement for a digital outpatient system, demonstrating clear objectives but lacking a defined formal procedure type and electronic submission capabilities.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

While this is a market engagement, the absence of a defined formal procedure type (listed as 'None') is a formal deficiency. The CPV code is appropriate, and there are no disputes or suspensions. Deadlines are reasonable for an expression of interest.

Formal procedure type is not defined (listed as 'None')
Clarity85/100

The description is very clear, explicitly stating its purpose as market engagement and outlining the system's high-level objectives. AI-extracted requirements are understandable and appropriate for this preliminary stage.

Completeness70/100

Basic information like title, reference, organization, and deadlines are provided. However, the formal procedure type is missing, and the estimated value is classified. Evaluation criteria are not defined, which is expected for market engagement.

Formal procedure type is not defined
Estimated value is classified
Fairness65/100

The classified estimated value reduces transparency, and the lack of electronic submission support is a significant barrier to equal access. However, requirements are generic, and the invitation specifically encourages SME participation.

Estimated value is classified
No electronic submission support
Practicality55/100

The absence of electronic submission support is a major practical drawback in modern procurement. While the contract start date and duration are known, the classified value limits practical planning for potential suppliers.

No electronic submission support
Financing information (value) is classified
Data Consistency80/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. The primary inconsistency is the 'None' designation for 'Type' and 'Procedure', which are formal data gaps rather than conflicting information.

Formal 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields are empty
Sustainability30/100

There are no explicit mentions of green procurement, social aspects, or a specific focus on innovation as criteria within this market engagement notice.

No explicit sustainability criteria
No explicit social criteria

Strengths

Clear description of market engagement purpose
Appropriate CPV code assigned
Invitation specifically encourages SME participation
Key dates (submission, contract start, duration) are provided
Documents are available and summarized

Concerns

Formal procedure type is not defined ('None')
Estimated value is classified, reducing transparency
Lack of electronic submission support
No explicit sustainability, social, or innovation criteria
Missing evaluation criteria (though expected for market engagement, it's a general concern for the upcoming tender)

Recommendations

1. Clearly define the formal pre-procurement notice type (e.g., Prior Information Notice) for better legal compliance.
2. Consider disclosing an estimated value range to enhance transparency and aid supplier planning.
3. Implement electronic submission for the subsequent formal tender to improve accessibility and fairness.
