Tender Quality Score

This tender for timber preservation and dampness remedial works is generally well-structured with clear descriptions, but suffers from critical omissions regarding evaluation criteria and detailed eligibility/financial requirements, impacting fairness and clarity.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines an Open procedure, assigns a relevant CPV code, and includes mandatory exclusion grounds. No disputes or suspensions are noted. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria is a significant legal transparency concern, and the reveal date is missing.

Missing evaluation criteria
Missing tender reveal date
Clarity65/100

The description of the works, framework agreement, and lot structure is clear and unambiguous. However, the lack of explicit evaluation criteria and detailed financial/eligibility requirements (beyond exclusion grounds) significantly reduces the overall clarity for potential bidders.

Missing evaluation criteria
Lack of specific financial and eligibility requirements
Completeness60/100

Basic information, deadlines, estimated value, duration, and location are provided. Documents are available. However, critical information such as detailed evaluation criteria, specific financial requirements, and comprehensive eligibility criteria are missing. The 'Liable Person' field is also empty, and procedure codes are not provided.

Missing evaluation criteria
Missing specific financial requirements
Fairness65/100

The tender value is disclosed, requirements do not appear tailored, and the division into lots promotes broader participation. However, the absence of transparent evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as bidders cannot objectively assess their chances or tailor their proposals effectively. There is also a contradiction regarding e-submission.

Missing evaluation criteria (major impact on fairness)
Contradiction regarding e-submission support
Practicality70/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. The tender states 'E-Procurement' as a characteristic, which is practical, but this is contradicted by an automated check flagging 'No e-submission'. This ambiguity creates a practical concern for bidders.

Contradiction regarding e-submission support
Data Consistency75/100

Key dates are logical, and the contract duration aligns with the framework term. The estimated values are consistent across descriptions. However, the 'Liable Person' field is empty, procedure codes are missing, and there's a notable inconsistency between 'E-Procurement' characteristic and the 'No e-submission' automated flag.

Empty 'Liable Person' field
Missing procedure codes
Sustainability40/100

The tender does not explicitly include any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus criteria. This indicates a missed opportunity to integrate sustainability principles into the procurement process.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No explicit social criteria
