Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear technical description for communal door replacement but suffers from significant omissions regarding legal compliance, completeness, and fairness due to the absence of mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, financial, and crucial evaluation criteria.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance45/100

The tender clearly defines the procedure type and CPV code. However, the explicit absence of mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria represents significant non-compliance with fundamental procurement principles and regulations.

Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing eligibility requirements
Clarity65/100

The technical description of the works, materials, and systems is highly detailed and unambiguous. However, the complete lack of specified evaluation criteria and explicit eligibility/financial requirements severely diminishes the overall clarity for potential bidders regarding the tender process.

No evaluation criteria specified
Missing explicit eligibility requirements
Completeness55/100

Basic tender information, deadlines, value, and duration are provided. However, the tender is significantly incomplete due to the explicit absence of mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, financial requirements, and, most critically, evaluation criteria.

Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing eligibility requirements
Fairness45/100

The absence of specified evaluation criteria is a critical flaw, preventing bidders from understanding how their proposals will be judged, thus undermining transparency and fairness. The lack of electronic submission also presents a barrier to equal access. Technical requirements do not appear tailored.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission
Practicality65/100

Key practical details such as contract start date and duration are clearly stated. However, the lack of electronic submission support is a significant practical drawback for bidders in a modern procurement context.

No e-submission
Data Consistency75/100

Core data points like title, reference, organization, value, and dates are consistent and logical. However, the tender exhibits inconsistencies and gaps in populating crucial fields related to mandatory requirements (exclusion, eligibility, financial, evaluation criteria).

Missing crucial requirement fields (exclusion, eligibility, financial, evaluation criteria)
Sustainability55/100

The project's stated purpose directly contributes to social objectives (community safety, anti-social behaviour). However, the tender does not explicitly incorporate green procurement, broader social criteria for suppliers, or innovation focus in its requirements or evaluation.

Not green procurement
No specific social criteria for suppliers
