Tender Quality Score

This tender presents a generally well-structured cultural program procurement, but it is significantly hampered by the critical absence of clear evaluation criteria, which impacts clarity, completeness, and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

Legal compliance is generally good, with a clearly defined open procedure, appropriate CPV code, and no reported disputes. However, the missing reveal date is a minor transparency gap.

Missing reveal date
Clarity65/100

The program description and AI-extracted requirements are clear and understandable. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly reduces clarity for potential bidders on how their submissions will be assessed and ultimately selected.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

The tender provides all basic information, including title, reference, organization, deadlines, value, duration, and attached documents. Nevertheless, the lack of specified evaluation criteria and detailed mandatory exclusion grounds represents significant gaps in completeness.

Missing evaluation criteria
No specific mandatory exclusion grounds detailed
Fairness65/100

The tender discloses the estimated value and supports electronic submission via the MultiQuote platform, promoting accessibility. However, the absence of objective and transparent evaluation criteria severely compromises the fairness of the procurement process. The requirement for specific local cultural heritage expertise, while understandable for the project, could also limit competition.

No evaluation criteria specified (major impact on fairness)
Requirement for specific local cultural heritage expertise may limit competition
Practicality85/100

The tender demonstrates good practicality, supporting electronic submission, clearly stating the contract start date and duration, and providing financing information. Document access is implied through the listing of documents.

Data Consistency75/100

Data is largely consistent across the provided information. Minor inconsistencies include empty codes for the procedure type and a contradiction regarding e-submission (AI-extracted requirement states MultiQuote, automated check flags 'No e-submission'). The missing 'Liable Person' field is also a minor gap.

Empty codes for 'Type' and 'Procedure'
Contradiction regarding e-submission (AI vs. automated check)
Sustainability50/100

The tender lacks explicit criteria for green procurement, social aspects (beyond the inherent social value of a cultural program), or innovation focus. While the program itself contributes to cultural and social well-being, the tender does not require bidders to demonstrate their own sustainability practices.

Not green procurement
No explicit social criteria for bidders

Strengths

Clear description of the program's scope and objectives
Estimated value, contract duration, and start date are clearly specified
Electronic submission via MultiQuote platform is supported
All basic tender information (title, reference, organization, CPV) is present
No disputes or suspensions reported

Concerns

Critical absence of specified evaluation criteria
No detailed mandatory exclusion grounds provided
The requirement for 'Expertise in the cultural heritage of the Crotlieve area' could limit competition
Lack of explicit sustainability (green, social, innovation) criteria for bidders
Missing reveal date and empty codes for procedure type

Recommendations

1. Immediately publish clear and objective evaluation criteria to ensure transparency and fairness for all bidders.
2. Provide detailed mandatory and discretionary exclusion grounds to clarify eligibility.
3. Consider integrating explicit sustainability criteria (e.g., environmental impact, social value, innovation) into future tenders where applicable.
