Tender Quality Score

This preliminary market engagement notice is clear about its purpose but is critically flawed by an incorrect CPV classification, alongside significant gaps in transparency and practicality typical of a full tender.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance40/100

The most significant legal compliance issue is the incorrect CPV code (72416000 - Application service providers) assigned to a service for ward dishwashers. This misclassification can severely hinder the visibility of the opportunity to relevant suppliers and potentially lead to legal challenges. While it's a PME, this fundamental error is concerning for the future tender's compliance.

Incorrect CPV code assigned (72416000 for dishwasher service)
Clarity85/100

The notice is clear about its status as a preliminary market engagement and explicitly states that detailed requirements, exclusion grounds, and financial criteria will be provided in the future tender. The service description is unambiguous and easy to understand.

Completeness60/100

As a preliminary market engagement notice, it intentionally lacks full details such as specific technical and financial requirements, and evaluation criteria. The estimated value is classified, which reduces the overall completeness of information for potential bidders, even at this early stage.

Estimated value is classified/not disclosed
Missing detailed requirements and evaluation criteria (though expected for a PME)
Fairness55/100

The classified estimated value significantly impacts fairness by preventing potential bidders from assessing the scale of the opportunity transparently. The absence of electronic submission also creates a barrier to equal access. However, the current eligibility requirements are generic, which is positive.

Estimated value is classified/not disclosed
No electronic submission option
Practicality50/100

The lack of electronic submission is a major practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for interested parties. While contract duration and start date are clear, the classified value reduces practicality for bidders in their decision-making process.

No electronic submission option
Estimated value is classified/not disclosed
Data Consistency75/100

Dates provided (engagement deadline, estimated tender publication, contract start) are logical and consistent. Most key fields are populated, although 'Liable Person' is empty and 'Type/Procedure' are 'None' as expected for a PME. The CPV code, while incorrect, is consistently applied within the notice.

Empty 'Liable Person' field
Sustainability20/100

There is no mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus within the provided information. This indicates a lack of integration of sustainability considerations, which is a missed opportunity.

No sustainability criteria (green, social, innovation)

Strengths

Clear purpose as a Preliminary Market Engagement notice
Well-defined service description
Logical timeline for engagement and estimated tender publication
Availability of OCDS data for structured information

Concerns

Critically incorrect CPV code (72416000 for dishwasher service)
Estimated value is classified, reducing transparency
Lack of electronic submission for engagement/future tender
Absence of sustainability considerations
Missing detailed requirements and evaluation criteria (even if intentional for PME, it's a gap in overall tender info)

Recommendations

1. Immediately correct the CPV code to accurately reflect the service being procured.
2. Disclose the estimated value in the future tender to enhance transparency and fairness.
3. Implement electronic submission for the actual tender process to improve practicality and equal access.
