Tender Quality Score

This tender presents significant quality concerns, particularly regarding legal compliance, fairness, and data consistency, due to critical missing information and illogical timeline elements. While the service description is clear, fundamental aspects of a robust procurement process are absent.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance55/100

Significant legal compliance issues are evident due to the absence of mandatory exclusion grounds, explicit evaluation criteria, and the highly problematic contract start date coinciding with the submission deadline. Minor issues include missing procedure codes and liable person.

Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing evaluation criteria
Clarity70/100

While the service description and AI-extracted requirements are clear and understandable, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria and detailed performance conditions significantly reduces the overall clarity for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Lack of detailed performance conditions/SLAs
Completeness60/100

The tender lacks several crucial components, including a liable person, explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and, most critically, detailed evaluation criteria and comprehensive tender specifications beyond administrative documents.

Missing liable person
Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Fairness50/100

The absence of transparent evaluation criteria is a fundamental flaw impacting fairness, as bidders cannot understand how their proposals will be judged. The lack of e-submission and the apparent absence of full tender specifications further hinder equal access and transparency for all potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission
Practicality60/100

The tender suffers from significant practicality issues, notably the lack of electronic submission support, which is a standard in modern procurement, and the illogical contract start date being identical to the submission deadline, which is operationally unfeasible.

No e-submission
Contract start date equals submission deadline
Data Consistency50/100

Key data inconsistencies include the contract start date being identical to the submission deadline, which is illogical, and a discrepancy in the estimated value's currency between the main information (EUR) and a document summary (GBP). Several key fields are also unpopulated.

Contract start date equals submission deadline
Currency inconsistency in estimated value
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not incorporate any explicit green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus, indicating a missed opportunity to align with modern sustainable procurement practices.

No green procurement
No social criteria
