Tender Quality Score

This tender for Underwater Archaeology services is generally well-structured, with clear objectives and a defined scope. However, it lacks specific details regarding evaluation criteria and financial aspects, which could be improved.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to general legal compliance by having a clear procedure and a proper CPV code. The deadline, while potentially short, is within a reasonable range for an open procedure. No disputes are reported. The primary concern is the missing reveal date, which is a minor procedural oversight.

Missing reveal date
Clarity80/100

The description of the contract's aim is clear and well-articulated, providing a good understanding of the expected services. The AI-extracted requirements, while stating 'No specific requirements listed' in several categories, are implicitly covered by the overarching description of the contract's aim. The main clarity issue is the absence of specified evaluation criteria.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including the title, reference, organization, and contract duration. However, the estimated value is not disclosed, and the AI-extracted requirements are largely empty, suggesting that detailed documentation might be missing or not fully extracted. The lack of document content summaries is also a drawback.

Estimated value not disclosed
No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open procedure, promoting broad participation. The use of e-procurement is a positive indicator of fairness. The value is classified, which is standard, but its non-disclosure could be a minor concern for some bidders. There are no apparent requirements tailored to specific companies, indicating good fairness.

Practicality65/100

The tender is marked as 'E-Procurement', which is positive. However, the 'Issues' section flags 'No e-submission', which is contradictory and needs clarification. The contract start date is not specified, and financing information is absent. The duration of 24 months is reasonable.

No e-submission (contradictory flag)
Contract start date not specified
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, CPV code, and submission deadline are populated. The status is 'active', and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates provided are logical. The main inconsistency is the 'E-Procurement' characteristic versus the 'No e-submission' issue.

Inconsistency between 'E-Procurement' characteristic and 'No e-submission' issue
Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is not indicated as EU funded. This suggests a lack of emphasis on sustainability criteria.

Not green procurement
No social criteria

Concerns
