Tender Quality Score

This is a well-described preliminary market engagement notice with a strong focus on sustainability and ethical sourcing, but it lacks critical information such as evaluation criteria and a defined procedure type, impacting clarity and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

As a preliminary market engagement notice, full formal legal compliance is not yet expected. The CPV code is appropriate, and the timeline for this stage is reasonable. However, the absence of a defined procedure type and liable person are minor formal gaps.

Missing procedure type (stated as 'None')
Missing liable person
Clarity80/100

The description of the scope, desired solutions, and AI-extracted requirements are exceptionally clear and detailed. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a significant drawback for potential suppliers.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Most essential information, including title, reference, organization, value, duration, and detailed requirements, is provided. The major omission is the lack of specified evaluation criteria, which is crucial for a comprehensive tender document.

No evaluation criteria specified
Missing procedure type
Fairness65/100

The tender's value is disclosed, documents are accessible, and requirements do not appear tailored to a specific company. However, the absence of evaluation criteria significantly hinders transparency and fair competition, and the lack of e-submission limits equal access.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission
Practicality60/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the lack of electronic submission support is a significant practical limitation in modern procurement processes.

No e-submission
Data Consistency80/100

Dates are logical and consistent, and there are no reported disputes. However, key fields such as 'Type', 'Procedure', and 'Liable Person' are empty, indicating minor data incompleteness.

Empty fields for 'Type', 'Procedure', 'Liable Person'
Sustainability90/100

This tender demonstrates a very strong commitment to sustainability, explicitly including carbon reduction initiatives, ethical sourcing, modern slavery concerns, labour standards, and social value, alongside an innovation focus.
