Tender Quality Score

This tender exhibits significant inconsistencies, particularly regarding the contract start date preceding the submission deadline, and lacks critical legal and financial details. While basic information is present and the service description is clear, the absence of e-submission and sustainability considerations, alongside contradictory data points, severely impacts its quality and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance40/100

The tender has critical legal compliance issues, most notably the contract start date (2026-01-26) preceding the submission deadline (2026-02-13), making it impossible to legally award and commence. Mandatory exclusion grounds are not explicitly stated, and the 'Value Classified: Yes' contradicts the disclosed estimated value, raising transparency concerns.

Contract start date precedes submission deadline
Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds
Clarity70/100

The general description of services and the 60% cost / 40% quality evaluation split are clear. However, there's a contradiction between 'Divided into Parts' and the requirement for 'one contractor'. Furthermore, detailed criteria for the 'quality' component of the evaluation are not provided, reducing overall clarity.

Contradiction between 'Divided into Parts' and 'one contractor'
Lack of detailed criteria for 'quality' evaluation
Completeness65/100

Basic information like title, reference, organization, value, and duration are present. However, critical elements such as the tender's reveal date, explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, and specific financial requirements (e.g., minimum turnover) are missing. Detailed evaluation criteria for the quality aspect are also not fully defined.

Missing tender reveal date
Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds
Fairness55/100

The absence of e-submission support is a significant barrier to equal access and fairness in modern procurement. The lack of detailed quality evaluation criteria reduces transparency and objectivity for bidders. The contradictory 'Value Classified' status also creates ambiguity regarding transparency.

No e-submission support
Lack of detailed quality evaluation criteria
Practicality30/100

The tender is highly impractical due to the contract start date (2026-01-26) being before the submission deadline (2026-02-13), rendering the timeline unworkable. The lack of e-submission also presents a practical hurdle for potential bidders.

Contract start date precedes submission deadline, making it unworkable
No e-submission support
Data Consistency35/100

Multiple significant data inconsistencies are present. The contract start date is before the submission deadline. 'Value Classified: Yes' contradicts the explicit estimated value provided. 'Characteristics: Divided into Parts' contradicts the requirement for 'one contractor'. These inconsistencies severely undermine data reliability.

Contract start date inconsistent with submission deadline
'Value Classified: Yes' contradicts explicit estimated value
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not include any explicit green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria
