Tender Quality Score

This tender is well-structured with clear service requirements, but it suffers from critical omissions such as evaluation criteria and the lack of e-submission, which significantly impact its overall quality and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The procedure type and CPV code are correctly assigned, and there are no disputes. However, the absence of a reveal date makes it impossible to fully assess the reasonableness of the submission period, and critically, the lack of specified evaluation criteria is a major legal compliance issue under procurement regulations.

Missing reveal date
No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity80/100

The description of services for both lots and the technical capability requirements are exceptionally clear and detailed, including specific accreditations and licenses. Nevertheless, the complete absence of evaluation criteria significantly diminishes the overall clarity for potential bidders on how their proposals will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Basic information, financial details, timeline, and classification are adequately provided. Technical requirements are well-defined. However, the critical omission of evaluation criteria and the fact that listed 'documents' are merely summaries, not full tender specifications, render the tender incomplete.

No evaluation criteria specified
Documents listed are summaries, not full tender documents
Fairness60/100

The technical requirements are objective and industry-standard, not appearing tailored to a specific company. However, the complete lack of evaluation criteria, the absence of e-submission, and the unclear access to full tender documents are significant concerns that undermine the fairness and transparency of the procurement process.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission
Practicality65/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the lack of electronic submission (e-submission) is a major practical drawback in modern procurement. The absence of a direct URL for a full tender package (beyond summaries) also reduces practicality for bidders.

No e-submission
No explicit document URL for full tender package
Data Consistency85/100

The tender generally exhibits good data consistency with logical dates and no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor data gaps include the missing 'Liable Person', 'Type/Procedure Code', and the 'reveal date'.

Missing Liable Person
Missing Type/Procedure Code
Sustainability30/100

The tender does not explicitly incorporate any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. This represents a missed opportunity to align the procurement with modern sustainability and responsible sourcing principles.

Not green procurement
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear and detailed description of services for both lots

Concerns
