Legal Compliance100/100
The tender is an 'Open procedure', which generally promotes competition. However, the provided notice explicitly states 'No specific mandatory exclusion grounds are mentioned', which is a significant omission for a public tender notice. While it directs bidders to external documents for full details, the absence of these fundamental legal requirements in the initial public summary is a concern.

•Absence of specific eligibility requirements in the provided notice.
Clarity40/100
The description of the 'Library Linking Tool' and its intended use by NHS Wales staff is clear and concise.
