Tender Quality Score

This tender for the Holiday Activity Fund Programme is generally well-structured, with clear objectives and a disclosed budget. However, it lacks specific technical and financial requirements, and the full documentation is only accessible after expressing interest, which slightly impacts practicality and completeness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to open procedure and provides a CPV code. Deadlines appear reasonable for an open procedure, though the submission deadline for expressing interest is quite close to the tender publication date. No disputes are noted. Regulatory compliance is assumed but not explicitly detailed.

Clarity80/100

The description of the programme's objective is clear, outlining the target beneficiaries and the expected service. However, the absence of specific technical and financial requirements in the initial announcement means that detailed clarity on what is expected from suppliers is deferred until after expressing interest.

Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, organization, estimated value, and contract duration is present. The submission deadline is specified. However, the full tender documentation is not directly accessible, and specific technical and financial requirements are missing from the initial announcement, impacting overall completeness.

Full documentation not directly accessible
Missing specific technical and financial requirements
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open procedure, which promotes fairness. The estimated value is disclosed. The criteria for evaluation are not specified in the initial announcement, which is a concern for transparency. Access to full documentation is conditional on expressing interest, which is a standard but slightly limiting practice.

Evaluation criteria not specified
Practicality65/100

The tender requires an 'Express Interest' step via a portal to access full documentation, which is a common e-procurement practice. However, the lack of direct document URLs and the absence of information regarding financing details and contract start date in the initial announcement reduce practicality. The submission deadline for expressing interest is also quite tight.

No direct document URLs provided
Financing information not detailed
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields like title, organization, value, and deadlines are populated. There are no noted suspensions or disputes. The dates provided (submission deadline, contract start) are logical and sequential.
