Tender Quality Score

This tender for Secretariat Services for the Independent Welsh Pay Review Body is generally well-structured and compliant, with a clear scope and an established e-procurement platform. However, it lacks explicit evaluation criteria and sustainability considerations.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender follows an open procedure, has a clear CPV code, and is managed through an established e-procurement system. No disputes are indicated. Deadlines appear reasonable within the context of the provided timeline, though the submission deadline relative to the active date could be tighter. Regulatory compliance is assumed through the use of government platforms.

Clarity80/100

The description of the required secretariat services is clear and detailed, outlining the main aims and responsibilities. The requirements are well-documented in the AI-extracted section. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria is a significant drawback.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including the estimated value, contract duration, and start date. The AI-extracted requirements cover most aspects. However, there are no explicit attached tender documents with content summaries, which limits a full assessment of completeness.

No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender is open to all, uses an e-procurement platform (eTenderwales/BravoSolution), and discloses the estimated value. The procedure is open, indicating a fair process. Requirements are not tailored to specific companies, promoting a competitive environment. Access to the ITT is through a standard portal registration.

Practicality65/100

The tender mandates e-submission via BravoSolution, which is a standard and practical method. The contract start date and duration are specified. However, the lack of specific financing information and the potentially tight submission deadline for uploading responses to a new platform registration process could present minor practical challenges.

Deadline may be too short (for registration and upload)
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are consistently populated. The status is 'active' and there are no indications of suspension or disputes. Dates logically follow each other.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation criteria. It is not indicated as EU funded. This area is underdeveloped.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
