Tender Quality Score

This tender for verge maintenance services is generally well-structured with clear basic information and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks specific details on evaluation criteria and submission requirements, impacting its completeness and practicality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with basic legal requirements for an open competition below the threshold. The CPV code is appropriate, and there are no immediate indications of disputes or regulatory non-compliance. The deadline, while potentially tight, is specified. The absence of a reveal date is a minor procedural oversight.

Missing reveal date
Clarity80/100

The description of the services required is clear and concise, outlining the need for verge maintenance and arboriculture. The objective of ensuring safe traffic movement is well-stated. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria and detailed submission requirements leaves room for ambiguity.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Essential information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration are present. The submission deadline and contract start date are also provided. However, the critical absence of specific requirements for exclusion, eligibility, technical, financial, and submission aspects, along with no document content available, significantly reduces its completeness.

No document content available
Missing specific requirements (exclusion, eligibility, technical, financial, submission)
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open competition, which promotes fairness. The estimated value is disclosed, and the criteria for selection are not tailored to specific companies, suggesting a good level of fairness. The main concern is the lack of transparency regarding evaluation criteria, which could be perceived as less objective.

No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration. However, the lack of information regarding e-submission, document URLs, and financing details hinders practical application. The absence of document content also makes it difficult for potential bidders to assess the feasibility of submission.

No e-submission specified
No document URL provided
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 are consistent and do not present any immediate contradictions.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation requirements. It is also not indicated as EU funded, suggesting a lack of focus on these important sustainability dimensions.
