Tender Quality Score

This tender outlines a crucial social service but suffers from significant deficiencies in documentation and process transparency, making it challenging for potential bidders to submit informed proposals.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance100/100

While an open competition below the threshold, the absence of detailed tender documents, specific exclusion grounds, and clear evaluation criteria raises concerns regarding transparency and adherence to fundamental procurement principles.

Clarity40/100

The service description and technical capabilities required are generally clear and well-defined, outlining the scope and flexibility needed. However, the lack of any accompanying tender documents or submission instructions creates significant ambiguity regarding the bidding process itself.

Completeness83/100

The tender is critically incomplete due to the complete absence of tender documents, detailed submission instructions, and, most importantly, evaluation criteria. This makes it impossible for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed.

Fairness60/100

The lack of published evaluation criteria and detailed submission requirements creates a significant risk of an unfair and non-transparent evaluation process, potentially disadvantaging bidders and undermining competition.

Practicality40/100

The described service requirements, including the need for timely and flexible financial assistance, appear practical and well-aligned with the stated objective of supporting victims of domestic abuse.

Data Consistency100/100

The information provided within the basic details and extracted requirements is consistent. However, the overall lack of comprehensive documentation limits the scope for a thorough consistency check.

Sustainability0/100

The tender does not explicitly incorporate green, social (beyond the service itself), or innovation criteria for the procurement process, as highlighted by the automated checks.

Strengths

Clear and well-defined service purpose and client needs.
Open competition procedure, promoting wider participation.
Value disclosed and contract duration specified.
Focus on flexibility and timely assistance for beneficiaries.

Concerns

No tender documents attached or available, preventing bidders from preparing a proper submission.
Missing evaluation criteria, leading to a lack of transparency and objectivity in the assessment process.
Lack of detailed submission requirements, leaving bidders without guidance on how to submit proposals.
Absence of specific mandatory exclusion grounds or financial stability requirements for bidders.
No explicit incorporation of broader social, environmental, or innovation criteria in the procurement process.

Recommendations

1. Immediately publish comprehensive tender documents, including detailed instructions for bidders and all relevant terms and conditions.
2. Clearly define and publish the evaluation criteria and methodology to ensure transparency and fairness.
3. Specify any mandatory exclusion grounds and, if deemed necessary for fund management, financial stability requirements for potential service providers.
