Tender Quality Score

This tender exhibits significant deficiencies in legal compliance, completeness, and fairness due to missing critical documentation and undefined essential requirements, despite a clear description of services. The lack of transparency regarding evaluation criteria and bidder qualification processes is a major concern.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance35/100

The tender lacks crucial mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and financial requirements, which are fundamental for legal compliance. The unavailability of the PSQ questionnaire (Attachment A-10526) is a critical legal and procedural flaw. The procedure type is vaguely defined as 'Restricted' with 'Competitive flexible procedure' and missing codes, and the CPV code appears somewhat narrow for the scope.

Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing eligibility requirements
Clarity45/100

While the service description is clear and unambiguous, the tender critically lacks specified evaluation criteria. Furthermore, the explicit absence of detailed mandatory exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements significantly reduces clarity for potential bidders regarding the full scope of expectations and assessment methods.

No evaluation criteria specified
Absence of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds
Completeness40/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, deadlines, value, duration, and location are provided. However, the tender is severely incomplete due to the unavailability of the PSQ questionnaire and the explicit lack of defined mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria.

PSQ questionnaire (Attachment A-10526) unavailable
Mandatory exclusion grounds not defined
Fairness30/100

Fairness is significantly compromised by the unavailability of a critical document (PSQ questionnaire) and the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria, which hinders transparency and objective assessment. The lack of e-submission also limits equal access, and the 'Restricted' procedure type combined with missing qualification details raises concerns about potential tailoring or non-transparent selection.

No full document access (PSQ unavailable)
No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality50/100

The tender specifies the contract start date and duration clearly. However, the absence of electronic submission support is a notable practical drawback. While documents are listed, the unavailability of a key document (PSQ) and the lack of explicit document URLs for all attachments reduce overall practicality for bidders.

No electronic submission supported
Unavailability of a key document (PSQ)
Data Consistency55/100

Dates are logical and consistent, and there are no reported disputes. However, several key fields are unpopulated (Liable Person, Type/Procedure codes), and critical information such as mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria are explicitly stated as not detailed, indicating significant data gaps and inconsistencies in completeness.

Missing 'Liable Person' information
Missing 'Type' and 'Procedure' codes
Sustainability25/100

The tender explicitly lacks any specified green procurement, social, or innovation criteria. While the description mentions 'digital transformation,' this is not formalized into measurable sustainability objectives or requirements, indicating a low focus on broader sustainability aspects.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear and detailed service description
Estimated value and contract duration are specified
OCDS data provided for transparency
Logical timeline with ample submission period

Concerns

Critical missing mandatory exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements

Vague procedure type and missing codes
