Tender Quality Score

This tender presents a clear description of the required services and includes a strong focus on social sustainability, but critically lacks specified evaluation criteria, impacting clarity, completeness, and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender clearly defines the restricted procedure and uses an appropriate CPV code. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. While mandatory exclusion grounds are not explicitly detailed in the AI summary, it is assumed they would be covered in the full tender documents, which are accessible.

Mandatory exclusion grounds not explicitly detailed in the AI summary.
Clarity60/100

The description of services and the AI-extracted requirements are clear and understandable. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria is a significant drawback, making it unclear how bids will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified.
Completeness65/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, duration, and CPV code are all present. All four tender documents are available and summarized. Nevertheless, the critical omission of evaluation criteria renders the tender incomplete for potential bidders.

Missing evaluation criteria.
Fairness50/100

The tender supports e-procurement and discloses the estimated value, and requirements appear generic, not tailored. However, the lack of transparent and objective evaluation criteria severely compromises the fairness of the procurement process, as bidders cannot understand the basis for selection.

No evaluation criteria specified, impacting transparency and objectivity.
Practicality75/100

Electronic submission is supported as indicated by the 'E-Procurement' characteristic. The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. While a direct document URL is not provided, access via 'Public Contracts Scotland' is indicated.

No direct document URL provided.
Contradiction between 'E-Procurement' characteristic and 'No e-submission' in automated checks.
Data Consistency80/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. There are no reported suspensions or disputes. A minor inconsistency exists with the empty 'Liable Person' field and the contradiction regarding e-submission.

Empty 'Liable Person' field.
Contradiction regarding e-submission support.
Sustainability70/100

The tender includes a strong social aspect by requiring a 'Community Benefits delivery plan'. However, it does not explicitly focus on green procurement or innovation, which are common areas for modern sustainable procurement.

No explicit focus on innovation.
