Tender Quality Score

This tender provides clear basic information and service descriptions, but is critically hampered by the absence of accessible tender documents and explicit evaluation criteria, significantly impacting its completeness, clarity, and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender correctly defines the procedure type and CPV codes, and no disputes or suspensions are noted. However, the absence of a clear reveal date and the lack of specified evaluation criteria represent significant transparency and compliance gaps.

•Missing reveal date
•No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity60/100

The description of the services required is clear, and the AI-extracted requirements are understandable. Nevertheless, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria makes it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be judged, severely impacting overall clarity.

•No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness50/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, duration, and key dates are present. However, the tender is critically incomplete due to the lack of accessible document content and the absence of detailed evaluation criteria, which are essential for a comprehensive bid.

•No document content available
•Missing evaluation criteria
Fairness45/100

The estimated value is disclosed, and technical requirements appear generic, not tailored. However, the lack of access to tender documents, the absence of transparent evaluation criteria, and the lack of e-submission capabilities significantly undermine the fairness and equal access for potential bidders.

•No document content available
•No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality60/100

Key practical details like contract start date and duration are provided. However, the absence of electronic submission and the unavailability of actual tender document content create significant practical hurdles for bidders.

•No e-submission
•No document content available
Data Consistency80/100

Most key fields are populated, dates are logical and consistent, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. The primary inconsistency lies in the declaration of '4 total documents' with '0 documents with content/summaries', indicating a data access issue.

•Documents listed but no content available
Sustainability20/100

The tender shows no explicit integration of green procurement principles, social considerations, or innovation focus. This indicates a missed opportunity to leverage public procurement for broader societal and environmental benefits.

•Not green procurement
•No social criteria
