Tender Quality Score

This tender for a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system is well-structured with clear objectives and a two-stage process. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on sustainability aspects.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with general procurement regulations, including the use of a proper CPV code and an open procedure. Deadlines are provided, though the submission deadline might be considered tight by some. No disputes are indicated.

Clarity80/100

The description of the project and the two-stage tendering process is clear. The eligibility and technical capability requirements are well-defined, specifying the need for a specialist supplier with proven experience in CHP systems.

Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including estimated value, contract duration, and start date. However, the absence of specific financial requirements and detailed evaluation criteria impacts completeness.

Missing evaluation criteria
Fairness85/100

The tender is open, and the value is disclosed. The two-stage process allows for a structured evaluation. Requirements are focused on technical capability and specialization, which is generally fair. No obvious tailoring to specific companies is apparent.

Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration. However, the lack of information regarding e-submission and the URL for tender documents reduces practicality. Financing information is not detailed.

No e-submission
Document URL missing
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated. The timeline is logical, and there are no indications of suspension or disputes, contributing to high data consistency.
