Tender Quality Score

This is a well-structured preliminary market engagement notice, clearly outlining the scope of services and seeking valuable market feedback, despite lacking some details typical of a formal tender.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The notice is compliant for a preliminary market engagement, with a reasonable feedback deadline and appropriate CPV codes. The 'Type: None' and 'Procedure: None' are acceptable given its planning status, as the procurement procedure is yet to be determined.

Procedure type not defined (expected for PME)
Clarity80/100

The service description and AI-extracted technical requirements are exceptionally clear and unambiguous. The purpose of the preliminary market engagement is well-articulated, making it easy for potential suppliers to understand what feedback is sought.

Completeness70/100

For a preliminary market engagement, the notice is sufficiently complete, providing essential information like title, organization, reference, duration, and contract start date. The explicit mention of what is *not* specified (e.g., financial requirements, exclusion grounds) is a strength in terms of transparency for this stage.

Estimated value not disclosed (common for PME)
Evaluation criteria not specified (expected for PME)
Fairness85/100

The requirements appear generic and not tailored, ensuring a level playing field for market engagement. Full document access is provided. While the estimated value is classified and e-submission is not supported, these are less critical concerns at the preliminary market engagement stage.

Estimated value classified
No e-submission support
Practicality65/100

The contract duration and start date are clearly specified, which is practical for future planning. However, the lack of electronic submission support is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement processes, even for feedback.

No electronic submission support
Data Consistency90/100

All available data fields are consistently populated, with explicit 'None' or 'Not disclosed' where information is absent, which is appropriate for a planning notice. Dates are logical and there are no reported disputes or suspensions.

Sustainability50/100

The notice does not include any specific green procurement, social, or innovation criteria. While this is a preliminary market engagement, it represents a missed opportunity to signal these priorities early.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear and comprehensive service description

Full document access for market engagement
Good data consistency and logical timelines

Concerns

Recommendations

1. Implement electronic submission for the formal tender to enhance practicality and accessibility.
2. Consider integrating sustainability, social, and innovation criteria into the future formal tender documents.
3. Disclose the estimated value in the formal tender to improve market transparency and aid supplier planning.
