Tender Quality Score

This tender for childcare services is generally well-structured with a clear description and fair process, but lacks detailed evaluation criteria and specific technical requirements. The submission process appears to be e-submission, but the absence of explicit green or social considerations limits its sustainability score.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to standard legal requirements with a clear CPV code and an open competitive procedure. Deadlines seem reasonable for an open tender. No disputes are reported. However, the absence of a reveal date for decisions could be a minor compliance issue depending on local regulations.

Missing reveal date
Clarity80/100

The description of the service is clear, outlining two distinct lots for childcare provision. The general eligibility criteria are mentioned. However, a significant lack of specificity regarding technical capability, financial requirements, and submission requirements reduces overall clarity.

No specific technical capability requirements provided
No specific financial requirements provided
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration are present. However, crucial details regarding the evaluation criteria and the content of the tender documents are missing, impacting the completeness of the information provided to potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open procedure, allowing an unlimited number of suitably qualified providers to apply, which promotes fairness. The estimated value is disclosed. The criteria for selection are objective in principle, but their absence from the documentation is a concern. No specific requirements appear to favour particular companies.

Practicality65/100

While e-submission is implied for an open tender, it is not explicitly stated. The contract start date is clear. However, the lack of specific technical, financial, and submission requirements makes it difficult for providers to practically prepare their bids. Financing information is not detailed.

No e-submission explicitly stated
Lack of specific technical, financial, and submission requirements
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract dates are populated correctly. There are no reported disputes or suspensions, and the dates are logically presented. The contract start date is after the submission deadline, which is correct.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU funded. This lack of integration of sustainability considerations leads to a lower score in this category.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
