Tender Quality Score

This tender for USB-C power supply components for train fleets is generally well-structured, with clear product requirements and financial information. However, it lacks detailed evaluation criteria and information on sustainability aspects.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to standard open procedure requirements, with a clear CPV code and no immediate red flags regarding regulatory compliance or disputes. The deadline, while potentially tight for some, is within a reasonable range for an open procedure. The absence of specific mandatory exclusion grounds is noted but not a critical legal flaw.

Clarity80/100

The description of the required goods (USB-C outlets, 230V outlets for specific locations) is clear and specific. The AI-extracted requirements accurately reflect the stated needs. The distinction between supply of goods and in-house installation is also clearly communicated.

Completeness70/100

Key information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, contract duration, and start date are present. However, the lack of available tender documents with content significantly impacts completeness, as bidders cannot fully assess all requirements. Evaluation criteria are also missing.

No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open procedure, allowing broad participation. Requirements are product-specific and objective, not tailored to particular companies. The value is disclosed, and the deadline, while potentially short, is not unreasonably so for an open process. The main concern is the lack of publicly accessible detailed evaluation criteria, which could be perceived as a fairness issue.

Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration. However, the lack of information regarding e-submission methods and the absence of a direct URL for accessing tender documents hinders practicality for potential bidders. Financing information is not explicitly detailed.

No e-submission
No document URL
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated logically. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates provided (submission deadline, contract start) are consistent with a typical procurement timeline.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, innovation, or EU funding criteria. This absence limits the assessment of sustainability efforts within this procurement process.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
