Tender Quality Score

This tender exhibits significant deficiencies in legal compliance, clarity, completeness, and fairness due to critical missing information, despite good practical aspects like e-submission. Key elements for a transparent and equitable procurement process are absent.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance50/100

The tender explicitly lacks mention of mandatory exclusion grounds, which is a fundamental legal requirement for public procurement. The missing reveal date also raises concerns about full transparency regarding the bidding period.

Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing reveal date
Clarity55/100

While the core description and technical requirements are clear, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly hinders clarity for potential bidders. The lack of explicit financial requirements also adds ambiguity.

Missing evaluation criteria
No explicit financial requirements
Completeness50/100

The tender is incomplete due to the absence of crucial information such as detailed evaluation criteria, mandatory exclusion grounds, and specific financial requirements. Several basic fields like 'Liable Person' and procedure codes are also empty.

Missing evaluation criteria
Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Fairness45/100

The most significant fairness concern is the complete absence of evaluation criteria, which makes the tender process opaque and potentially subjective. While e-procurement is enabled and requirements are generic, this omission severely impacts transparency and equal opportunity.

Missing evaluation criteria
Practicality85/100

The tender supports electronic submission via a dedicated platform, and key contract dates (start, duration) are clearly specified, enhancing practicality for bidders.

Data Consistency65/100

While core dates and status are consistent, the presence of empty fields for 'Liable Person' and procedure codes, along with the missing reveal date, indicates some inconsistencies and gaps in the structured data provided.

Empty 'Liable Person' field
Empty procedure codes
Sustainability25/100

The tender does not explicitly incorporate any green procurement, social, or innovation criteria, indicating a lack of focus on sustainability aspects.

No green procurement
No social criteria
