Tender Quality Score

This tender for grounds maintenance services demonstrates good foundational compliance and includes social benefits, but is significantly hampered by a lack of specified evaluation criteria and the classification of the estimated contract value.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance80/100

The tender appears legally compliant with a clear open procedure, appropriate CPV code, and a reasonable submission timeframe. The estimated value being classified is a minor disclosure concern, but does not indicate non-compliance with core regulations.

Estimated value classified
Clarity55/100

While the service description is clear, the tender critically lacks specified evaluation criteria, which is a major omission for bidders to understand how their proposals will be judged. Detailed requirements for exclusion grounds and financial aspects are also not present in the provided summaries, requiring consultation of full documents.

No evaluation criteria specified
Detailed requirements (exclusion, financial) not in summaries
Completeness65/100

Basic tender information such as title, organization, and duration is provided. However, the estimated contract value is not disclosed and is classified, and specific evaluation criteria are missing from the provided content. While documents are attached, key details are deferred to full documents.

Estimated value not disclosed
No evaluation criteria specified
Fairness50/100

The classification of the estimated value and, more critically, the absence of clear evaluation criteria significantly reduce transparency and objectivity, potentially hindering fair competition. However, requirements appear generic and not tailored, and e-procurement is indicated, supporting equal access.

Estimated value classified
No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality60/100

The tender indicates 'E-Procurement' as a characteristic, which is practical for submission, though there's a contradiction in automated checks. It lacks a direct document URL in the provided snippet and a specified contract start date. The classified value also impacts practical assessment for bidders.

No direct document URL provided
Contract start date not specified
Data Consistency65/100

There are inconsistencies such as missing codes for the procedure type and a direct contradiction regarding e-submission between the 'Characteristics' and 'Automated Check Results'. The 'Liable Person' field is also empty, indicating incomplete data population.

Missing procedure codes
Contradiction on e-submission
Sustainability60/100

The tender positively includes social aspects by expecting bidders to propose community benefits like local work placements or apprenticeships. However, it lacks explicit green procurement or innovation-focused criteria, limiting its overall sustainability scope.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No innovation focus

Strengths

Clear procedure type and CPV code
Inclusion of social/community benefits
Documents available for consultation
E-Procurement indicated as a characteristic

Concerns

No specified evaluation criteria
Estimated contract value classified
Lack of detailed requirements in summaries
Data inconsistency regarding e-submission
Absence of green procurement and innovation focus

Recommendations

1. Disclose the estimated contract value to enhance transparency and aid bidder decision-making.
2. Clearly define and publish comprehensive evaluation criteria to ensure fairness and objectivity.
3. Ensure all key data fields are consistently populated and resolve contradictions, especially regarding e-submission.
