Tender Quality Score

This tender for food supply is well-structured with clear product requirements and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on submission, impacting its overall completeness and practicality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with general procurement principles, with a clear CPV code and a defined submission deadline. The absence of specified procedure type and liable person is a minor oversight. The deadline of approximately 5 weeks for a tender of this value and complexity might be considered tight, but not critically so without further context on the typical procurement cycle for this organization.

Procedure type not specified
Liable person not specified
Clarity80/100

The description of the required food supplies is detailed, including specific product categories and dietary requirements. The AI-extracted requirements further clarify the scope. However, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria leaves bidders uncertain about how their submissions will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Key information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration are present. The description is comprehensive. However, the lack of content in the attached tender documents and the absence of specific submission requirements mean that crucial details for bidders are missing.

No document content available
No specific submission requirements listed
Fairness85/100

The tender outlines clear product and delivery requirements, and the 60-mile radius sourcing is an objective criterion. The estimated value is disclosed. The lack of specific evaluation criteria could be perceived as a minor fairness concern, as bidders may not fully understand the weighting of different aspects. The absence of e-submission details is also a point to note.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission details provided
Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration, and the estimated value is provided. However, the lack of information regarding e-submission and the absence of content in the tender documents make the practical execution of the submission process unclear.

No e-submission details
No document content available
Data Consistency90/100

All essential fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated logically. There are no indications of disputes or suspensions. The timeline for submission and contract start is consistent.
