Tender Quality Score

This tender is critically deficient in essential details, making it practically impossible for potential bidders to prepare a compliant and competitive offer. Key information such as exclusion grounds, eligibility criteria, financial requirements, evaluation criteria, and full tender documents are entirely absent.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance100/100

Legal compliance is extremely poor. The absence of mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility criteria, and evaluation criteria violates fundamental principles of public procurement law, including transparency, equal treatment, and non-discrimination. The lack of any tender documents makes a full assessment impossible, but the current state is non-compliant.

Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing eligibility requirements
Clarity40/100

Clarity is very poor. The tender provides only a high-level description and generic technical requirements. Without full tender documents, detailed specifications, scope of services per lot, and evaluation criteria, the expectations and requirements are fundamentally unclear, hindering any meaningful bid preparation.

Lack of detailed service specifications
No information on the division into lots (scope, volume)
Completeness75/100

Completeness is extremely poor. Critical sections such as full tender documents, mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility criteria, financial requirements, evaluation criteria, contract duration, and detailed lot information are entirely missing. The tender is essentially an empty shell.

Absence of all tender documents
Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Fairness80/100

Fairness is extremely poor. The absence of clear eligibility, financial, and evaluation criteria creates an opaque and potentially unfair process. Bidders cannot understand how they will be selected for the restricted procedure or how their tenders will be assessed, leading to a severe lack of transparency and equal treatment. This structure could allow for arbitrary selection.

Lack of transparent selection criteria for the restricted procedure
Absence of clear evaluation criteria for submitted tenders
Practicality20/100

Practicality is very poor. Without any detailed documents, specifications, or evaluation criteria, it is practically impossible for a bidder to prepare a meaningful, compliant, or competitive submission. The procurement process, as presented, is unworkable.

Impossible for bidders to prepare a compliant tender without documents
Lack of e-submission option (as flagged by automated check)
Data Consistency100/100

Data consistency is difficult to fully assess due to the overwhelming lack of data. The CPV code 'Taxi services' aligns with the description 'Home to School and Social Care Transport'. The primary inconsistency is the absence of critical information required for a functional tender.

Overall lack of data makes consistency assessment challenging
Sustainability25/100

Sustainability aspects are minimally addressed. While 'Social Criteria' is listed as a characteristic, no details are provided on what these entail. The automated check flags 'Not green procurement' and 'No innovation focus,' indicating a lack of emphasis on broader environmental and innovation aspects of sustainability.

Lack of detail on 'Social Criteria'
No explicit green procurement requirements

Strengths

Clear title, reference number, and organization specified
Estimated value of the contract is disclosed
General description of services is provided
Acknowledgement of 'Social Criteria' (though details are missing)
Specific mention of Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAVs) requirement

Concerns

Complete absence of all tender documents and content
Missing mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, and financial requirements
Absence of any evaluation criteria for tender submissions
Lack of detailed specifications for services, lots, and contract duration
High risk of non-compliance with public procurement regulations due to missing fundamental elements

Recommendations

1. Immediately publish comprehensive tender documents, including detailed specifications, terms and conditions, and all legal requirements.
2. Clearly define and publish mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility criteria, financial requirements, and detailed evaluation criteria for both selection and award stages.
3. Provide full details for each lot, including scope, estimated volume, specific requirements, and geographical coverage.
