Tender Quality Score

This tender describes an extension of an existing Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Solutions. While basic information is present and the DPS mechanism is legally sound, there are notable gaps in the clarity and completeness of requirements, particularly regarding mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and explicit evaluation criteria in the provided summary.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The procedure type (Dynamic Purchasing System) is clearly defined, and the CPV code is appropriate. No disputes or suspensions are flagged. However, the AI summary indicates that mandatory exclusion grounds are 'Not detailed', and the procedure code is missing, which are minor compliance oversights. The past contract start date is consistent with a DPS extension.

Mandatory exclusion grounds not detailed in AI summary
Procedure code missing
Clarity60/100

The overall purpose of the DPS is clear, but critical details such as mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and especially evaluation criteria are explicitly stated as 'Not detailed' or 'Missing' in the AI summary. While technical criteria are mentioned in a document, their absence from the summary significantly impacts the overall clarity for potential suppliers.

No evaluation criteria specified in AI summary
Mandatory exclusion grounds not detailed in AI summary
Completeness65/100

Basic information like title, reference, organization, value, and duration is complete. However, the AI summary explicitly states that mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria are 'Not detailed' or 'Missing', representing significant gaps in the completeness of essential tender information.

Mandatory exclusion grounds not detailed in AI summary
Financial requirements not detailed in AI summary
Fairness70/100

The estimated value is disclosed, and the requirements appear generic, not tailored to a specific company. Document access is provided. However, the explicit lack of 'evaluation criteria specified' in the AI summary is a major concern for transparency and objective assessment. There is also a contradiction regarding e-submission capabilities.

No evaluation criteria specified in AI summary
Contradiction regarding e-submission (E-Procurement characteristic vs. 'No e-submission' flag)
Practicality65/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified, and the estimated value is known. The primary practical concern is the contradiction regarding e-submission: 'E-Procurement' is listed as a characteristic, but 'No e-submission' is flagged by automated checks. If e-submission is not supported, it significantly hinders practicality.

Contradiction regarding e-submission (E-Procurement characteristic vs. 'No e-submission' flag)
Data Consistency60/100

The dates are logical and consistent within the context of an extended Dynamic Purchasing System. No disputes or suspensions are flagged. However, some key fields like 'Liable Person' and procedure codes are empty. Furthermore, the inclusion of an 'economic1' document detailing a contract for 'ECT Machines' (not VCIS) represents a significant data inconsistency.

'Liable Person' field is empty
Type and Procedure codes are empty
Sustainability20/100

The automated checks explicitly flag 'Not green procurement', 'No social criteria', and 'No innovation focus'. This indicates a complete absence of sustainability considerations within the tender, which is a significant drawback in modern public procurement.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear definition of the procurement type as a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS)
Comprehensive basic information (title, reference, organization, value, duration)
Estimated value is disclosed and not classified
Multiple documents are available for reference
CPV code is appropriately assigned

Concerns

Lack of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements in the AI summary
Absence of explicit evaluation criteria in the AI summary, impacting transparency and fairness
Contradiction regarding e-submission capabilities
Irrelevant document ('economic1' for ECT Machines) included in the tender documents
Complete lack of green, social, or innovation sustainability criteria

Recommendations

1. Ensure all mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and detailed evaluation/selection criteria for the DPS are clearly articulated and easily accessible within the tender documentation.
2. Clarify the e-submission capabilities to resolve the contradiction between the stated characteristic and the automated check result.
3. Review and remove any irrelevant documents from the tender package to maintain data consistency and avoid confusion.
