Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear description of services and project scope but exhibits notable deficiencies in evaluation criteria, e-submission, and data consistency, impacting overall quality and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The overall timeframe to the submission deadline is reasonable, and the procedure type and CPV code are clearly defined. However, the reveal date is missing, and specific mandatory exclusion grounds are not detailed in the provided notice, requiring bidders to refer to a full notice.

Missing reveal date
Specific mandatory exclusion grounds not detailed in the provided notice
Clarity80/100

The description of the required services, project scope, and the two-stage competitive process is clear and unambiguous. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria and detailed thresholds for legal, financial, and technical requirements significantly reduces overall clarity.

No evaluation criteria specified
Specific legal, financial, and technical thresholds not detailed
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and duration is complete. However, the full tender documents are not directly provided (only summaries), and detailed evaluation criteria are missing, which are crucial for a comprehensive tender package.

Full tender documents not provided (only summaries)
Detailed evaluation criteria missing
Fairness75/100

The tender discloses the estimated value, provides a reasonable timeframe for the initial stage, and permits joint tenders and sub-contracting, promoting broader participation. Nevertheless, the lack of full document access, unspecified evaluation criteria, and absence of e-submission functionality are significant concerns for fairness and equal access.

No full document access from the provided notice
Missing evaluation criteria
Practicality65/100

The contract duration is clearly specified. However, the absence of electronic submission support and a direct document URL creates practical barriers. A critical issue is the contract start date being identical to the submission deadline, which is highly impractical and likely an error.

No electronic submission supported
No direct document URL provided
Data Consistency70/100

Most key fields are populated, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. However, the contract start date being identical to the submission deadline is a critical inconsistency. Additionally, there is a minor discrepancy between the submission deadline in the basic information and the AI-extracted requirements.

Contract start date identical to submission deadline
Minor discrepancy in submission deadlines
Sustainability50/100

The tender explicitly encourages creativity and innovation in the delivery approach, which is a positive aspect. However, it lacks specific criteria or focus on green procurement or broader social aspects, representing a missed opportunity for a project of this scale.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No explicit social criteria
