Tender Quality Score

This tender presents a moderately complete and clear description of the required works, but critically lacks specified evaluation criteria, which significantly impacts fairness and clarity for potential bidders. The absence of e-submission and sustainability considerations also reduces its overall quality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender generally complies with legal requirements, featuring a clear procedure type, appropriate CPV codes, and a reasonable submission period of 34 days. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. However, the 'Missing reveal date' and the lack of detailed 'specific mandatory exclusion grounds' in the AI summary are minor administrative and clarity concerns, respectively.

Missing reveal date
Specific mandatory exclusion grounds not detailed in AI summary
Clarity60/100

The project description is clear and unambiguous regarding the scope of maintenance and civil engineering works. However, the AI-extracted requirements mention 'specific conditions of participation' and 'mandatory exclusion grounds' without detailing them, which reduces clarity. Crucially, the tender is flagged for 'Missing evaluation criteria', which is a significant deficiency, making it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed.

Missing evaluation criteria
Specific conditions of participation not detailed
Completeness65/100

The tender provides essential information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, duration, and location. All listed documents are available and summarized. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria and the lack of detailed 'specific conditions of participation' make the tender incomplete for bidders to formulate fully compliant and competitive proposals.

Missing evaluation criteria
Specific conditions of participation not fully defined
Fairness55/100

While the tender offers full document access, discloses the value, and provides a reasonable deadline, its fairness is severely compromised by the 'Missing evaluation criteria'. Without transparent evaluation criteria, bidders cannot understand the basis of award, leading to a non-objective and potentially unfair process. Additionally, the absence of e-submission ('No e-submission') can create barriers to equal access for all potential suppliers.

Missing evaluation criteria
No e-submission
Practicality60/100

The tender clearly specifies the contract start date and duration, and provides financing information for planned maintenance. However, the lack of electronic submission ('No e-submission') is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for bidders and the contracting authority.

No e-submission
Data Consistency90/100

The tender exhibits strong data consistency, with key fields largely populated, logical and consistent dates, and no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor omissions include the 'Liable Person' and specific codes for 'Type' and 'Procedure', but these do not impact the overall consistency of critical information.

Liable Person field is empty
Type and Procedure codes are empty
Sustainability25/100

This tender scores low on sustainability as it does not incorporate any green procurement, social criteria, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
