Tender Quality Score

This tender for Executive Search Services presents a clear description and requirements but suffers from critical deficiencies in documentation and transparency, notably the absence of full tender documents and evaluation criteria. The illogical contract start date and lack of e-submission also pose practical challenges.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender specifies a Restricted procedure and appropriate CPV codes. However, the AI summary indicates a lack of specific mandatory exclusion grounds, and procedure codes are missing, which are legal compliance concerns. The liable person is also not identified.

Missing specific mandatory exclusion grounds (as per AI summary)
Missing procedure type codes
Clarity80/100

The description of services and AI-extracted requirements are clear and unambiguous. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria and the full tender documents significantly reduce overall clarity for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Full tender document content is unavailable
Completeness55/100

While basic information like title, reference, organization, value, and duration are present, the critical absence of actual tender document content (0 documents with content/summaries) and missing evaluation criteria make the tender significantly incomplete.

No tender document content available
Missing evaluation criteria
Fairness60/100

The tender's fairness is severely impacted by the lack of access to full tender documents and the absence of specified evaluation criteria, making it difficult for bidders to prepare and understand the assessment process. The Restricted procedure, while legal, inherently limits competition, and the lack of e-submission further restricts access.

No full document access
No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality50/100

Practicality is hampered by the lack of electronic submission capabilities. Furthermore, the contract start date being identical to the submission deadline is highly impractical and indicates a significant administrative error, making the timeline unrealistic.

No e-submission supported
Contract start date is illogical (same as submission deadline)
Data Consistency70/100

Most key fields are populated, and there are no disputes. However, the contract start date being the same as the submission deadline represents a significant logical inconsistency. Minor discrepancies in deadline format and missing procedure codes also affect consistency.

Contract start date is inconsistent with submission deadline
Missing liable person and procedure codes
Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly include green procurement, social criteria, or innovation focus. While the service description mentions 'open, transparent and inclusive recruitment campaigns,' this refers to the outcome of the service rather than specific sustainability requirements for the provider.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No explicit social criteria for the provider

Strengths

Clear description of services and AI-extracted requirements
Value, duration, and CPV code are clearly specified
No disputes or suspensions reported
Requirements do not appear tailored to a specific company
Adequate time for submission for invited bidders

Concerns

Complete absence of actual tender document content
Missing evaluation criteria
Illogical contract start date (same as submission deadline)
No e-submission option
Missing mandatory exclusion grounds and procedure codes

Recommendations

1. Publish all tender documents with full content, including detailed evaluation criteria and mandatory exclusion grounds.
2. Correct the contract start date to reflect a realistic timeline after evaluation and award.
3. Implement e-submission for improved accessibility and efficiency in the procurement process.
