Tender Quality Score

This tender provides clear basic information and utilizes an e-procurement system, but critical requirements and detailed evaluation criteria are largely absent from the provided content, deferring bidders to an external portal for full information.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance70/100

The procedure type is clearly defined, and the submission deadline is reasonable. However, the CPV code (Repair and maintenance services) is broad for the specific service, and critical legal requirements like mandatory exclusion grounds and eligibility criteria are explicitly stated as not detailed in the provided information, requiring reference to an external portal.

CPV code is broad for the specific service.
Mandatory exclusion grounds and eligibility criteria are not detailed in the provided content.
Clarity50/100

The overall service description is clear. However, the AI-extracted requirements explicitly state that no specific details are provided for eligibility, technical capability, financial requirements, or the specific content/format for quality/cost proposals. While the evaluation weighting (70% quality, 30% cost) is given, the detailed sub-criteria for evaluating quality are missing, significantly impacting clarity for potential bidders.

Lack of specific details for eligibility, technical, and financial requirements.
Absence of detailed evaluation sub-criteria for quality and cost proposals.
Completeness50/100

Basic information such as title, organization, reference, value, duration, and deadlines are present. However, the tender is incomplete regarding detailed requirements (mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, technical, financial) and specific evaluation sub-criteria, which are all deferred to an external portal. The provided documents are administrative and OCDS data, not the full tender specification.

Detailed eligibility, technical, and financial requirements are missing from the provided content.
Specific evaluation sub-criteria are not defined in the provided content.
Fairness65/100

The tender uses an open procedure and specifies an e-procurement portal for submission, promoting equal access. The estimated value is disclosed, and the submission deadline is reasonable. However, the lack of detailed eligibility, technical, and financial requirements, as well as specific evaluation sub-criteria in the provided content, limits transparency and could potentially lead to subjective evaluation if not thoroughly detailed in the full tender documents.

Limited transparency due to lack of detailed requirements and evaluation sub-criteria in the provided content.
Practicality90/100

The tender scores well on practicality, providing clear URLs for information and submission via the Delta eSourcing portal. The contract start date and duration are explicitly stated, and the estimated value is provided.

Data Consistency85/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical. There are no flagged disputes or suspensions. A minor inconsistency exists with 'Liable Person' being empty and 'Value Classified: Yes' despite the value being disclosed.

'Liable Person' field is empty.
Minor inconsistency with 'Value Classified: Yes' when the value is disclosed.
Sustainability40/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement criteria, social clauses beyond the inherent social nature of the service itself, or innovation focus. It is also not EU funded, which often implies higher sustainability standards.

No explicit green procurement criteria.
No specific social criteria for bidders.

Strengths

Clear description of the service.
Use of an e-procurement portal for submission.
Reasonable submission deadline.
