Tender Quality Score

This tender for security services is generally well-structured with clear basic information and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks specific details on evaluation criteria and mandatory requirements, and the document content is not accessible.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to the Competitive Flexible Procedure under the Procurement Act 2023 and mentions the Light Touch Regime, indicating regulatory awareness. The CPV code is appropriate. The primary concern is the lack of specified evaluation criteria, which is a significant omission for legal compliance in a competitive process. Deadlines are present but the contract start date coinciding with the submission deadline is unusual.

Missing evaluation criteria
Clarity80/100

The description of services is clear, stating the need for security staffing across six sites. The reference to attached tender documents suggests further detail is available. However, the absence of specific mandatory, eligibility, technical, financial, and submission requirements within the provided text limits overall clarity.

No specific mandatory, eligibility, technical, financial, or submission requirements listed
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, duration, and CPV code. However, the crucial tender documents are not accessible, and their content is not summarized, leaving a significant gap in completeness. The lack of specific requirements also impacts completeness.

No document content available
Missing specific requirements
Fairness85/100

The tender appears fair as it is a competitive procedure with a disclosed value and a clear CPV code. The mention of 'Divided into Parts' could indicate flexibility for different bidders. There are no obvious signs of requirements tailored to specific companies. The lack of accessible document content and specified evaluation criteria could indirectly affect fairness by making it harder for all potential bidders to prepare.

Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract duration and start date, though the latter is identical to the submission deadline, which is impractical. The primary issue is the lack of information regarding e-submission, and the inability to access the content of the tender documents hinders practical preparation. Financing information is not detailed.

Contract start date coincides with submission deadline
No information on e-submission
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and CPV are populated. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates provided are logical, although the contract start date matching the submission deadline is an anomaly. The 'Divided into Parts' characteristic is noted.

Contract start date identical to submission deadline
Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU funded. This suggests a lack of emphasis on sustainability criteria.

No explicit mention of green procurement
No explicit mention of social aspects
