Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear project description but is severely hampered by critical deficiencies in document accessibility, transparency regarding evaluation criteria, and legal compliance. The currency inconsistency and lack of electronic submission also present notable challenges for potential bidders.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance65/100

The tender defines the procedure type and uses an appropriate CPV code. However, the absence of explicitly stated mandatory exclusion grounds and detailed selection/award criteria represents a significant gap in legal compliance, even for a below-threshold tender. Minor administrative codes are also missing.

Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing detailed selection/award criteria
Clarity50/100

While the project description, scope, and site details are generally clear, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria is a major clarity issue for potential bidders. The currency discrepancy between the estimated value (EUR) and the budget (GBP) also introduces ambiguity.

No evaluation criteria specified
Currency discrepancy (EUR vs GBP) for value/budget
Completeness40/100

The tender provides basic information and detailed location data. However, the failure to access 3 out of 5 listed documents is a critical completeness failure, preventing bidders from accessing potentially vital information. The absence of evaluation criteria and a liable person also detracts from completeness.

3 out of 5 tender documents failed to download
Missing evaluation criteria
Fairness30/100

The tender's fairness is severely compromised by the inability to access a majority of the listed documents and the complete absence of transparent evaluation criteria. The lack of electronic submission also creates potential barriers to equal access for all bidders.

Inaccessible tender documents
No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality50/100

The tender provides useful practical information regarding site access, contractor responsibilities, and project timeline. However, the lack of electronic submission is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, and the failed document downloads hinder practical access to information.

No electronic submission supported
Inaccessible tender documents
Data Consistency55/100

While dates are logical and there are no disputes, a significant inconsistency exists between the estimated value stated in EUR and the budget specified in GBP. Several key administrative fields, such as 'Liable Person' and procedure codes, are also unpopulated.

Currency discrepancy (EUR vs GBP) for value/budget
Missing 'Liable Person' and procedure codes
Sustainability50/100

The tender includes a positive social aspect by requesting equipment suitable for children with additional needs and encourages low-maintenance solutions. However, it lacks explicit green procurement criteria, broader social considerations, or a formal focus on innovation, limiting its overall sustainability profile.

No explicit green procurement criteria
Limited broader social criteria

Strengths

Clear project description and scope
Detailed site access and contractor responsibilities
Reasonable submission period
Inclusion of equipment for children with additional needs

Concerns

Critical failure to access tender documents
Complete absence of evaluation criteria
Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Inconsistency in estimated value currency (EUR vs GBP)
Lack of electronic submission

Recommendations

1. Ensure all tender documents are accessible and verifiable.
2. Clearly define and publish all evaluation criteria and mandatory exclusion grounds.
3. Standardize currency for financial figures and consider enabling electronic submission.
