Tender Quality Score

This tender for scaffolding works provides a clear description and utilizes an e-procurement portal, but suffers from critical deficiencies in transparency and completeness due to missing evaluation criteria and mandatory exclusion grounds.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly, and the submission period is reasonable. However, the absence of explicitly stated mandatory exclusion grounds and detailed evaluation criteria represents a significant gap in legal compliance, potentially affecting transparency and equal treatment.

Mandatory exclusion grounds not explicitly stated.
Detailed evaluation criteria not specified.
Clarity60/100

While the general description of the framework and lots is clear, the critical absence of explicit evaluation criteria makes it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed. Furthermore, performance criteria for contract review are mentioned but not detailed, and mandatory exclusion grounds are not stated.

Evaluation criteria not specified.
Performance criteria for contract review are not detailed.
Completeness65/100

Basic information like title, reference, organization, value, and duration are provided. However, the primary 'Tender Notice' document failed to download, which is a significant omission. Crucially, mandatory exclusion grounds and evaluation criteria are not defined, leading to a substantial lack of completeness.

Mandatory exclusion grounds not defined.
Fairness60/100

The use of an e-procurement portal and generic requirements promote equal access. However, the critical absence of explicit evaluation criteria severely undermines the objectivity and transparency of the tender process, potentially leading to subjective assessments. Additionally, the failure to access a key document (Tender Notice) hinders full document access for all bidders.

Evaluation criteria not specified, impacting objectivity and transparency.
Full document access hindered by failed download of 'Tender Notice'.
Practicality70/100

Electronic submission is clearly supported via the Citizen E-Procurement portal, and the contract start date and duration are well-defined. However, the reported failure to download the 'Tender Notice' document presents a practical hurdle for potential bidders, and a direct document URL was not provided in the basic information.

Direct document URL not provided in the basic information.
Data Consistency85/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include empty codes for 'Type' and 'Procedure' and the contradictory 'Value Classified: Yes' despite the value being disclosed.

Empty codes for Type and Procedure.
Contradictory 'Value Classified: Yes' when value is disclosed.
