Tender Quality Score

This tender is for preliminary market engagement regarding business support services. While generally well-structured with clear objectives and financial information, it lacks specific details on evaluation criteria and technical/financial requirements, impacting its completeness and practicality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with general procurement principles. The CPV code is appropriate, and there is no indication of disputes. The deadline, while potentially short, is specified. The procedure type is not explicitly stated, which is a minor omission.

Clarity80/100

The description of the required services is clear, outlining the alignment with the Business Lincolnshire Growth Hub and the reporting requirements. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria makes it difficult for potential bidders to fully understand how their submissions will be assessed.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and duration is present. However, crucial details regarding specific technical and financial requirements, as well as submission requirements, are missing. The lack of content in the tender documents is a significant gap.

No document content available
Missing technical capability requirements
Fairness85/100

The tender is open and accessible, with the estimated value disclosed. The requirements are described in a general manner, avoiding specific company tailoring. The lack of detailed evaluation criteria could be perceived as a minor fairness concern, but the overall approach seems objective.

Practicality65/100

The tender is in a planning stage, and the submission deadline is relatively short given the lack of detailed documentation. The absence of information regarding e-submission methods and the contract start date being very close to the submission deadline reduces practicality. Financing information is not explicitly detailed.

No e-submission specified
Contract start date is very close to submission deadline
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated consistently. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates provided are logical within the context of a planning stage.

Sustainability50/100

There is no explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, innovation, or EU funding in the tender documentation, indicating a lack of focus on these areas.

Not green procurement
