Tender Quality Score

This tender for windmill restoration is generally well-structured with clear objectives and a defined scope. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on sustainability, and the submission process could be more streamlined.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to basic legal requirements, including a clear CPV code and a defined procedure. Deadlines are provided, though the submission deadline might be considered short given the project's nature. No disputes are noted. The procedure is 'Below threshold - open competition', which is a standard classification.

Clarity80/100

The description of the project is clear, outlining the objective of restoring a Grade II listed windmill for community use and a long-term lease. Requirements for expressing interest and accessing documentation are also clearly stated. However, specific evaluation criteria are missing, which impacts overall clarity.

Missing evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, organization, estimated value, contract duration, and start date. The CPV code is provided. However, the full tender documentation is not directly accessible, requiring an 'Express Interest' step, and the content of attached documents is not summarized.

No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender is open competition, and the estimated value is disclosed. The process requires expressing interest to gain access to full documentation, which is a standard but slightly less direct approach than immediate access. There are no apparent requirements tailored to specific companies, promoting a reasonable level of fairness. The use of an e-tendering system is positive.

Practicality65/100

The tender is active and has a specified contract start date and duration. Financing information is not explicitly detailed beyond the estimated value. The submission process requires an 'Express Interest' step and then access via an e-tendering system, which is functional but not as direct as immediate e-submission of documents. Questions must be submitted via the website.

No e-submission (direct document upload)
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, organization, reference, value, and deadlines are populated. Dates are logical, with the contract start date following the submission deadline. No suspension or disputes are indicated, contributing to high data consistency.

Sustainability50/100

The tender description focuses on restoration and community use, which has inherent social value. However, there is no explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects beyond community focal point, or innovation. It is not indicated as EU funded.

Not green procurement
No social criteria (explicit)
