Tender Quality Score

This tender offers a clear description of grounds maintenance services for multiple prison sites with a stated estimated value and duration. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on submission requirements.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to be compliant with standard open procedure regulations. A valid CPV code is provided, and no disputes are reported. Deadlines are specified, but the timeframe between the notice date and submission deadline could be considered short depending on the complexity of the submission.

Submission deadline might be tight relative to notice date.
Clarity80/100

The description of the required grounds maintenance services is clear and outlines the quality expectations. Technical capabilities are adequately defined. However, the absence of explicit submission and evaluation criteria reduces overall clarity for bidders.

Missing evaluation criteria.
Lack of detail on submission requirements.
Completeness70/100

Basic tender information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration are present. The CPV code is provided. However, critical details like the full scope of documents, specific submission instructions, and explicit eligibility/financial requirements are missing from the provided extract, impacting completeness.

No document content/summaries available.
Missing explicit eligibility and financial requirements.
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open procedure, which promotes broad competition. The estimated value is disclosed, and the criteria appear objective based on the description. The 'Divided into Parts' characteristic could enhance fairness by allowing specialization, but specific criteria for this division are not detailed. No requirements appear to be tailored to specific companies.

Practicality65/100

The tender specifies e-procurement, which is a positive indicator of modern practice. A contract start date is implied by the submission deadline but not explicitly stated. Financing information is not detailed, and while the contract duration is clear, the practicality is hindered by the lack of document access and detailed submission instructions.

No e-submission mechanism specified.
Document access is limited/not specified.
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and deadline are populated logically. The status is 'active', and there are no reported disputes. The dates provided are consistent with a current active tender.

Sustainability50/100

There is no explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, innovation, or EU funding in the provided tender details. This indicates a lack of focus on sustainability initiatives within this procurement.

No indication of green procurement.
No social or innovation criteria mentioned.

Strengths

Clear description of services and quality expectations.
Open procedure promoting competition.
Disclosure of estimated value and contract duration.
E-procurement mentioned.

Concerns

Lack of detailed submission requirements.
No sustainability or innovation considerations.
