Tender Quality Score

This tender for a laboratory salinometer suffers from significant deficiencies in document accessibility and the complete absence of evaluation criteria, severely impacting clarity, completeness, and fairness, despite clear basic information.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance65/100

The tender defines the procedure and CPV code clearly, and the submission period is reasonable. However, the 'Page not found' error for 'Attachment A-10545 (Administrative Documents)' represents a significant legal compliance risk, as crucial terms and conditions may be inaccessible.

Inaccessible administrative documents
Clarity45/100

While the core description of the required item is clear, the tender critically lacks specified evaluation criteria. Additionally, mandatory exclusion grounds and specific financial requirements are not detailed, leading to ambiguity for potential bidders.

Missing evaluation criteria
Lack of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements
Completeness40/100

Basic tender information, value, and duration are provided. However, the inaccessibility of 'Attachment A-10545 (Administrative Documents)' and 'Tender Notice' means critical information is missing. The absence of evaluation criteria further compounds the incompleteness.

Two key documents inaccessible
Missing evaluation criteria
Fairness30/100

Fairness is severely compromised by the lack of full document access and, most critically, the complete absence of evaluation criteria, which prevents objective and transparent assessment of bids. The lack of e-submission also creates potential barriers.

Inaccessible documents
Missing evaluation criteria
Practicality50/100

The tender specifies the contract start date and duration. However, the absence of electronic submission and the issues with accessing key tender documents (broken links/failed downloads) present significant practical hurdles for interested parties.

No e-submission
Inaccessible tender documents
Data Consistency85/100

Key dates are logical and consistent, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. Most essential fields are populated, with only minor omissions such as the 'Liable Person' and specific procedure codes.

Empty 'Liable Person' field
Empty 'Type Code' and 'Procedure Code'
Sustainability20/100

The tender explicitly lacks any focus on green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. It is also not EU funded, indicating a minimal consideration for sustainability criteria.

No green, social, or innovation criteria
