Tender Quality Score

This tender for cyclical works at CoL Boys School presents a clear description and basic requirements but suffers from critical omissions, notably the absence of evaluation criteria and e-submission, significantly impacting its fairness and legal compliance.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance50/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly, and there are no disputes. However, the critical absence of evaluation criteria and detailed mandatory exclusion grounds, along with a missing explicit reveal date, significantly undermines legal compliance and transparency requirements for an Open procedure.

Missing evaluation criteria
Lack of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds
Clarity50/100

While the project description and AI-extracted requirements are clear and understandable, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a major clarity flaw. This makes it impossible for potential bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed, which is fundamental for a competitive process.

Missing evaluation criteria
General performance conditions not fully detailed
Completeness55/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, deadlines, value, duration, and location are provided. Documents are also attached. However, the critical omission of evaluation criteria and minor gaps like an empty 'Liable Person' field and missing type/procedure codes reduce the overall completeness.

Missing evaluation criteria
Empty 'Liable Person' field
Fairness40/100

The estimated value is disclosed, and requirements appear generic, not tailored to a specific company. However, the absence of transparent evaluation criteria and the lack of e-submission functionality are significant barriers to fairness and equal access for all potential bidders, making the process less objective.

Missing evaluation criteria
No e-submission functionality
Practicality50/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the absence of electronic submission support is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for bidders. An explicit document URL is also not provided.

No e-submission functionality
No explicit document URL provided
Data Consistency80/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent (e.g., submission before contract start, duration aligns with timeframe). Minor inconsistencies include empty fields for 'Liable Person' and procedure codes, but these do not significantly impact overall data integrity.

Empty 'Liable Person' field
Empty type/procedure codes
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 procurement for broader societal and environmental benefits.

Absence of green procurement considerations
Absence of social criteria

Strengths

Clear project description and scope
Estimated value and contract duration are well-defined
Appropriate CPV classification
No active disputes or suspensions
Requirements for eligibility, technical, and financial capacity are clearly stated

Concerns

Absence of evaluation criteria is a critical flaw
Lack of e-submission functionality
No detailed mandatory exclusion grounds specified
Missing explicit reveal date for full legal notice period assessment
Absence of sustainability, social, or innovation considerations

Recommendations

1. Immediately publish detailed evaluation criteria to ensure transparency and legal compliance.
2. Implement an e-submission platform to enhance fairness and practicality for bidders.
3. Clearly define all mandatory exclusion grounds and consider incorporating sustainability aspects.
