Tender Quality Score

This tender presents a clear description of the required service but suffers from significant gaps in transparency and completeness, particularly regarding evaluation criteria and financial disclosure. While the technical requirements are well-defined, the absence of crucial information could hinder fair competition.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code appropriately, and references relevant national regulations (PSSR 2000, HSE ACoP L122). However, the AI summary indicates no explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, which are typically a standard legal requirement. The estimated value being classified also reduces transparency, although it might be permissible under specific regulations.

No mandatory exclusion grounds explicitly stated in AI summary
Estimated value classified
Clarity60/100

The service description and technical requirements are clear and unambiguous, detailing the scope, standards, and necessary qualifications. However, a major deficiency is the explicit absence of specified evaluation criteria, which makes it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness65/100

Basic information, deadlines, duration, and location are provided. However, the estimated value is not disclosed and classified, and crucially, evaluation criteria are missing. Furthermore, two out of five listed tender documents failed to download or provide a summary, indicating incomplete document availability or processing.

Estimated value not disclosed/classified
No evaluation criteria specified
Fairness55/100

The tender supports electronic submission and its requirements appear generic, not tailored to a specific company. However, the classified estimated value and the complete absence of evaluation criteria significantly undermine fairness and transparency, making it challenging for all potential bidders to compete on an equal footing. Incomplete document access further exacerbates this.

Estimated value classified
No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality65/100

Electronic submission is supported, and the contract start date and duration are clearly specified, which are practical advantages. Nevertheless, the lack of disclosed estimated value and the issues with accessing or summarizing all tender documents present practical hurdles for potential bidders.

Estimated value not disclosed/classified
Incomplete document access/summaries
Data Consistency80/100

The tender generally exhibits good data consistency with active status, no disputes, and logical dates. However, some key fields like 'Liable Person' and procedure codes are unpopulated, and the estimated value is classified rather than explicitly stated, representing minor inconsistencies.

Some key fields are unpopulated (Liable Person, Type/Procedure codes)
Estimated value not disclosed
Sustainability30/100

The tender does not explicitly incorporate any green procurement, social criteria, or innovation focus. While this is not uncommon for highly specialized compliance services, it results in a low score for sustainability aspects.

No explicit sustainability, social, or innovation criteria
