Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear description of services but suffers from critical omissions regarding evaluation criteria and lacks modern e-submission capabilities, impacting fairness and clarity for potential bidders.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes correctly. The 26-day submission period for a below-threshold open competition is generally acceptable. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria is a significant transparency and legal compliance concern.

No evaluation criteria specified in the provided information.
Clarity60/100

The service description and AI-extracted requirements are clear and unambiguous. However, the critical absence of evaluation criteria makes it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed, significantly reducing overall clarity.

No evaluation criteria specified.
Completeness70/100

Basic information, deadlines, value, and duration are well-defined. Requirements are listed, but the crucial evaluation criteria are missing. While documents are linked, their full content is not directly provided in the summary.

Missing evaluation criteria.
Full tender documents are linked externally, not fully summarized.
Fairness55/100

The estimated value is disclosed, and requirements do not appear tailored. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria severely compromises transparency and objectivity. The absence of e-submission also creates an unnecessary barrier to equal access.

No evaluation criteria specified, impacting objectivity and transparency.

Practicality65/100

The tender provides a clear document URL, contract start date, and duration. However, the lack of electronic submission support is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for bidders.

Key fields are largely populated, and dates are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions, indicating good data integrity.

Liable Person field is empty.

The tender does not explicitly incorporate green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. This indicates a missed opportunity to promote broader public policy objectives through procurement.

No green procurement criteria.
No social criteria.
