Tender Quality Score

This tender analysis indicates an overall good quality tender with clear evaluation criteria and social value inclusion, but it presents gaps in the detail of requirements and immediate access to full documentation.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The procedure type and CPV codes are clearly defined. The submission deadline provides ample time for preparation (53 days from today's date). There are no disputes or suspensions. However, the reveal date is missing, and mandatory exclusion and eligibility grounds are not explicitly detailed in the summary, directing bidders to full documents.

Missing tender reveal date
Lack of explicit mandatory exclusion and eligibility grounds in summary
Clarity80/100

The tender description is clear and unambiguous. Evaluation criteria (60% Price, 30% Quality, 10% Social Value) are clearly specified. However, technical and financial requirements are quite generic in the summary, and exclusion/eligibility requirements are absent, directing bidders to the full documents.

Generic technical and financial requirements in summary
Absence of explicit exclusion and eligibility requirements in summary
Completeness70/100

Basic information (title, reference, organization, value, deadlines, duration, location) is present. However, critical detailed requirements such as exclusion grounds, eligibility criteria, and specific financial thresholds are missing from the provided content, requiring access to an external Proactis portal.

Missing detailed exclusion grounds in summary
Missing detailed eligibility criteria in summary
Fairness85/100

The tender value is disclosed, and evaluation criteria are transparent. E-procurement is supported via the Proactis portal, ensuring equal access. Requirements appear generic enough not to be tailored to a specific company. The preparation time is reasonable.

Practicality65/100

Electronic submission via the Proactis portal is supported, and the contract start date and duration are known. However, a direct URL to the full tender documents is not provided in the summary information, posing a practical hurdle. Specific financing details beyond the estimated value are also missing from the summary.

Missing specific financing details in summary
Data Consistency90/100

Dates are logical and consistent. There are no disputes or suspensions. Most key fields are populated, although 'Liable Person' and procedure codes are empty. The AI-extracted data is internally consistent, despite contradictions with automated checks.

Empty 'Liable Person' field
Empty procedure codes
Sustainability50/100

The inclusion of 10% Social Value in the tender's evaluation criteria is a positive aspect for sustainability. However, there is no explicit focus on green procurement or innovation.
