Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to general legal compliance by being an open procedure with a clear reference number and organization. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria and potential issues with the submission deadline (duration vs. preparation time) are noted. CPV and NUTS codes are present, and no disputes are reported.

Missing reveal date (AI-extracted requirement for submission deadline: 2026-04-30T00:00:00 vs. stated Submission Deadline: 2026-04-30 22:59:00 indicates a potential discrepancy or lack of clarity).
Clarity80/100

The description of the project is clear, outlining the need for a new external floodlighting system due to the current one reaching end of life, with a focus on improving energy efficiency and functionality. Eligibility and technical requirements are broadly specified, though a lack of detailed criteria for evaluation affects overall clarity.

No evaluation criteria specified (identified in 'ISSUES/FLAGS' and 'CHECKS').
Completeness70/100
