Tender Quality Score

This is a well-structured pre-market engagement notice, clearly outlining its purpose and requirements, though it lacks electronic submission capabilities and sustainability considerations.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The notice is compliant for a pre-market engagement, clearly defining its planning status and purpose. CPV codes are appropriate, and no disputes are noted. The absence of a formal procedure type is consistent with its pre-market nature.

Clarity80/100

The description and AI-extracted requirements are clear and unambiguous for a pre-market engagement. The purpose of seeking market input for Class 66 traction motors is well-communicated.

Completeness70/100

Basic information, estimated value, duration, and technical requirements for engagement are provided. While formal tender criteria are absent, this is expected for a pre-market notice.

Fairness65/100

The value is disclosed, and requirements are not tailored. However, the lack of electronic submission may limit equal access for all potential suppliers, impacting overall fairness.

No electronic submission for engagement
Practicality60/100

The primary practical concern is the absence of electronic submission, which can hinder efficient engagement. Other practical details like contract start and duration are clearly specified.

No electronic submission supported
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields are largely populated, and dates are logical. The status as 'planning' and 'pre market engagement' is consistent with the 'None' for type and procedure.

'Liable Person' field is empty
Sustainability20/100

There are no indications of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus, which represents a missed opportunity for integrating sustainability principles.

No green procurement
No social criteria
