Tender Quality Score

This tender for a Media Relations & Public Affairs Adviser demonstrates good basic information and e-procurement support, but is significantly hampered by restrictive requirements and a lack of detailed evaluation criteria.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure and CPV code clearly, and the submission period is reasonable (25 days). However, the AI summary indicates a lack of explicitly stated mandatory exclusion and eligibility grounds, which are fundamental legal requirements.

Missing explicit mandatory exclusion and eligibility grounds in the provided summary.
Clarity65/100

While the core service description is clear, there is a direct contradiction between the tender being "Divided into Parts" and requiring "All work will be delivered by one individual." Detailed quality evaluation criteria are also missing, impacting clarity for bidders.

Contradiction between "Divided into Parts" characteristic and "single individual" requirement
Lack of detailed quality evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Basic tender information, deadlines, value, and duration are complete. However, the provided information lacks detailed quality evaluation criteria and explicitly stated mandatory exclusion/eligibility grounds in the AI summary.

Missing detailed quality evaluation criteria
Absence of explicitly stated mandatory exclusion and eligibility grounds in the summary
Fairness50/100

The tender supports e-procurement and discloses the estimated value. However, the requirement for "All work will be delivered by one individual" for a 2-year contract of this value (£198,000) is highly restrictive, potentially limiting competition and favoring a specific type of supplier. Detailed quality criteria are also not transparent.

Highly restrictive "single individual" requirement, potentially limiting competition
Lack of detailed quality evaluation criteria
Practicality85/100

The tender provides clear URLs for information and electronic submission via the Delta eSourcing portal, and specifies the contract start date and duration, enhancing practicality for bidders.

Data Consistency60/100

There is a significant inconsistency between the "Characteristics: Divided into Parts" and the explicit requirement for "All work will be delivered by one individual." The clarity on evaluation criteria is also inconsistent between automated checks and the AI summary.

Contradiction between "Divided into Parts" and "single individual" requirement
Ambiguity regarding detailed evaluation criteria
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not include any explicit requirements or considerations related to green procurement, social aspects, or innovation, representing a missed opportunity for broader impact.

No sustainability, social, or innovation criteria

Strengths

Clear procedure type and CPV code
Electronic submission supported with clear URLs
Estimated value and duration specified
Reasonable submission period for preparation

Concerns

Highly restrictive "single individual" requirement
Lack of detailed quality evaluation criteria
Contradiction regarding "Divided into Parts" characteristic
Missing explicit mandatory exclusion/eligibility grounds in summary

Recommendations

1. Clarify or remove the "Divided into Parts" characteristic to resolve the contradiction.
2. Provide detailed quality evaluation criteria to enhance transparency and fairness.
3. Review the "single individual" requirement for potential anti-competitiveness and consider allowing team-based proposals.
