Tender Quality Score

This tender notice provides essential high-level information but critically lacks any attached documentation, making it impossible for potential bidders to prepare a comprehensive and compliant offer.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance100/100

The tender specifies an 'Open procedure' and mentions 'MANDATORY EXCLUSION GROUNDS,' which are positive. However, the absence of detailed exclusion grounds and, more importantly, the complete tender documents, means a full assessment of legal compliance is not possible from this summary alone.

Lack of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds
Inability to assess full legal compliance without tender documents
Clarity40/100

While the listed requirements are phrased clearly at a high level, their generic nature (e.g., 'comprehensive clinical waste collection services') without supporting specifications or scope of work makes them ambiguous in practice.

Requirements are too high-level and lack specific detail, leading to ambiguity without supporting documents
Completeness83/100

This is the most significant deficiency. The tender explicitly states 'DOCUMENTS (0 total)' and 'No document content available.' This means crucial information such as detailed specifications, evaluation criteria, contract terms, pricing schedules, and specific operational requirements are entirely missing.

Complete absence of all tender documents
Missing detailed evaluation criteria
Fairness60/100

The generic nature of the requirements, coupled with the complete absence of tender documents and evaluation criteria, creates a significant information asymmetry. This severely hinders fair competition, potentially favoring incumbent providers or those with prior insider knowledge, as external bidders cannot adequately understand the full scope or assessment methodology.

Information asymmetry due to missing documents and evaluation criteria, potentially undermining fair competition
Practicality40/100

It is impractical for any potential bidder to formulate a competitive, compliant, and well-informed bid based solely on the provided summary. The lack of detailed information makes it impossible to accurately cost the service or propose a robust solution.

Impractical for bidders to prepare an effective response without comprehensive documentation
Data Consistency100/100

The information provided within the summary itself appears consistent.

Sustainability0/100

The tender summary and extracted requirements contain no mention of environmental, social, or innovation criteria, indicating a missed opportunity to incorporate broader sustainability objectives into the procurement.

Absence of sustainability, social, or innovation criteria

Strengths

Basic tender identification information (title, reference, organization, description) is clearly provided
The procurement type is an 'Open procedure,' promoting broad market access
Estimated contract value and duration are clearly stated

Concerns

Critical absence of all tender documents, rendering bid preparation impossible
Missing detailed evaluation criteria, making assessment methodology unclear
Lack of specific mandatory exclusion grounds and detailed selection criteria
Absence of sustainability, social, and innovation considerations
High-level, generic requirements without sufficient detail for informed bidding

Recommendations

1. Immediately publish all comprehensive tender documents, including detailed specifications, evaluation criteria, and full contract terms
2. Clearly define and publish specific mandatory exclusion grounds and detailed selection criteria
3. Integrate relevant sustainability, social responsibility, and innovation criteria into the tender documentation
