Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear scope of work but suffers from significant deficiencies in legal compliance, clarity, and fairness due to the absence of evaluation criteria and detailed mandatory exclusion grounds. The lack of e-submission and sustainability focus are also notable concerns.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance65/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly. However, the explicit lack of specified mandatory exclusion grounds and, more critically, the absence of evaluation criteria in the provided information are significant legal compliance shortcomings for an open tender, even if below threshold. The missing reveal date also impacts transparency.

Missing specific mandatory exclusion grounds
No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity60/100

The description of the refurbishment works and the technical capability requirements are clear and unambiguous. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria is a major deficiency, making it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, organization, reference, value, duration, and deadlines are well-defined. The scope of work and technical requirements are also clearly outlined. The primary gaps are the lack of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds and, most notably, the absence of evaluation criteria.

No evaluation criteria specified
Missing specific mandatory exclusion grounds
Fairness55/100

The tender benefits from a disclosed value and seemingly generic technical requirements, which promotes broad participation. However, the critical absence of evaluation criteria severely undermines transparency and objectivity. Furthermore, the lack of electronic submission (e-submission) creates an unnecessary barrier and reduces equal access for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission
Practicality60/100

Key practical details like contract duration and start date are clearly provided. However, the absence of electronic submission is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for both bidders and the contracting authority.

No e-submission
Data Consistency85/100

The tender information is largely consistent, with logical dates and no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor omissions include empty codes for type/procedure and a missing liable person, but these do not create significant data inconsistencies.

Empty type/procedure codes
Missing liable person
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not incorporate any explicit green procurement, social, or innovation criteria. It is also not EU-funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards. This indicates a missed opportunity to integrate broader public value considerations.

Not green procurement
No social criteria

Strengths
