Tender Quality Score

This tender for a Minor Works Framework is generally well-structured with clear lot divisions and a substantial estimated value. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on document content, impacting its overall quality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to open procedure and provides a CPV code. Deadlines are present, though the submission deadline might be considered short given the complexity of a 41-lot framework. No disputes are reported. Regulatory compliance is assumed based on the information provided.

Clarity80/100

The description clearly outlines the framework nature, the number of lots, and provides a comprehensive list of work categories with value thresholds. The access to tender documents is clearly stated. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria reduces clarity on how bids will be assessed.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, contract duration, and start date are present. The division into 41 lots is detailed. However, the content of the tender documents is not available, and the reveal date is missing, which impacts completeness.

No document content available
Missing reveal date
Fairness85/100

The tender is open, and access to documents is provided via a public URL. The estimated value is disclosed, and the division into numerous lots with varying value thresholds promotes competition. The criteria are objective in terms of work categories and value bands, but the lack of explicit evaluation criteria is a concern.

Practicality65/100

Access to documents is via a URL, and the contract start date and duration are specified. Financing information is not explicitly detailed. The primary concern is the lack of explicit e-submission instructions, relying on the provided URL which may or may not facilitate direct e-submission.

No e-submission
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields like title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated. The contract start date (2026-12-01) is logically after the submission deadline (2026-05-15). No suspensions or disputes are indicated, ensuring good data consistency.

Sustainability50/100

There is no explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, innovation, or EU funding. This indicates a lack of focus on sustainability criteria within the tender documentation.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
