Tender Quality Score

This tender represents an extension of an existing Dynamic Purchasing System, demonstrating strong legal compliance and clear basic information. However, the lack of accessible tender documents and explicit evaluation criteria in this notice significantly impacts completeness and fairness for potential new suppliers.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance90/100

The tender clearly defines the procedure as an Open DPS under PCR2015 and PA23 transition arrangements, indicating strong adherence to national procurement regulations. CPV codes are appropriate, and the submission deadline is exceptionally generous. No disputes or suspensions are reported.

Clarity70/100

The description of the DPS extension is clear and unambiguous. AI-extracted requirements are well-structured and understandable. However, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria within this notice, even if referring to an existing DPS, reduces clarity for new applicants.

No evaluation criteria specified in this notice
Completeness60/100

Basic information, estimated value, and the duration of the extension are clearly provided. However, the critical absence of accessible tender documents (content/summaries: 0) is a significant deficiency, preventing a full understanding of the DPS terms and conditions.

No document content available for the listed tender documents
Fairness65/100

The tender benefits from a very long submission deadline and generic, non-tailored requirements, promoting broad participation. However, the lack of accessible tender documents and explicit evaluation criteria in this notice compromises transparency and fairness for new potential suppliers.

Lack of accessible tender documents
Evaluation criteria not explicitly stated in this notice
Practicality70/100

Electronic submission is supported, which is practical. The extension duration is clearly stated. A notable practical drawback is the absence of a direct URL or accessible content for the tender documents, creating an additional hurdle for interested parties.

No direct URL or accessible content for tender documents
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields are largely populated, and dates are logical and consistent. The 'Liable Person' field is empty, which is a minor omission but does not affect overall data consistency.

Liable Person field is empty
Sustainability30/100

The tender does not explicitly include criteria for green procurement, social aspects beyond the core service provision, or innovation. While residential care is inherently social, no additional social value requirements are specified.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No explicit social criteria beyond core service

Strengths

Strong legal compliance with clear reference to national regulations (PCR2015, PA23)
Very generous submission deadline allowing ample preparation time
Clear description of the DPS extension and well-structured AI-extracted requirements
Estimated value disclosed and e-procurement enabled
High data consistency with logical dates and populated key fields

Concerns

Critical lack of accessible tender document content, hindering full understanding
Absence of explicit evaluation criteria in this notice, impacting clarity and fairness for new applicants
No explicit inclusion of green, social (beyond core service), or innovation criteria
Missing direct URL for tender documents, creating a practical barrier

Recommendations

1. Ensure all tender documents are readily accessible and their content is processed and summarized.
2. Explicitly state or clearly reference where the full evaluation criteria for the DPS can be found within this notice.
