Tender Quality Score

This tender for minor building works provides basic administrative details and a clear scope, but suffers from significant gaps in critical procurement information, particularly the absence of detailed requirements and evaluation criteria, which impacts clarity, completeness, and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance65/100

The tender defines an open procedure and uses an appropriate CPV code. However, the absence of specific mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria raises concerns regarding full compliance with procurement regulations and transparency principles. A discrepancy in the estimated value currency (EUR vs GBP) is also noted.

Missing specific mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing specific eligibility requirements
Clarity55/100

The overall description of the work scope, duration, and intent to appoint two contractors is clear. However, the tender explicitly lacks specified evaluation criteria, and the AI-extracted technical requirements are very general. The absence of detailed eligibility, financial, and performance conditions significantly reduces the clarity for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Technical capability requirements are very general
Completeness60/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, deadlines, value, and duration are provided. However, the tender is incomplete regarding crucial details like specific mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria. The characteristic 'Divided into Parts' is mentioned but not elaborated.

Missing detailed mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing detailed eligibility requirements
Fairness50/100

The tender benefits from disclosed value and enabled e-procurement, and requirements do not appear tailored. However, the explicit absence of evaluation criteria is a significant concern, as it introduces subjectivity into the selection process and undermines transparency and equal treatment among bidders. The value discrepancy also adds confusion.

No evaluation criteria specified, impacting objectivity and transparency
Potential for subjective evaluation due to lack of criteria
Practicality75/100

Electronic submission via MultiQuote is supported, which enhances practicality for bidders. The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, detailed financing information beyond the estimated value is not provided, and a direct document URL is not present in the snippet.

No detailed financing information beyond estimated value
Document URL not explicitly provided in the snippet
Data Consistency65/100

Dates are logical and consistent, and there are no reported disputes. However, a significant inconsistency exists in the estimated value, stated as EUR 660,000.00 in the basic information but £550,000 in document summaries. The 'Liable Person' field is empty, and details for 'Divided into Parts' are missing.

Discrepancy in estimated value currency (EUR vs GBP)
'Liable Person' field is empty
