Tender Quality Score

This tender demonstrates good foundational elements with clear service objectives and e-procurement, but is significantly hampered by the critical absence of detailed evaluation criteria and key contract duration information.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender clearly defines the procedure type and CPV codes, references the Single Procurement Document (SPD) (Scotland) for compliance, and has no reported disputes. However, the absence of a reveal date and explicit evaluation criteria details in the provided summary slightly detracts from full transparency and compliance disclosure.

Missing reveal date
Lack of explicit evaluation criteria details in the provided summary
Clarity65/100

The service description and AI-extracted requirements are clear and understandable. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly reduces clarity for potential bidders regarding how their proposals will be judged.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness60/100

Basic information, estimated value, and documents are provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the missing contract duration and the lack of specified evaluation criteria, which are essential for bidders to prepare comprehensive proposals.

Missing contract duration
No evaluation criteria specified
Fairness55/100

The tender supports e-procurement, discloses the estimated value, and its requirements appear generic and not tailored. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria severely impacts the objectivity and transparency of the evaluation process, raising significant fairness concerns.

No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality60/100

Electronic submission is supported via the Public Contracts Scotland portal, which is practical. However, the absence of a clear contract duration and start date creates uncertainty for bidders in terms of resource planning and commitment.

Missing contract duration
Missing contract start date
Data Consistency80/100

Most key fields are populated, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. Dates are logical, though the missing reveal date and some minor unpopulated fields (Liable Person, Type Code) slightly reduce the score.

Missing reveal date
Missing Liable Person
Sustainability60/100

The tender includes a strong social aspect by requiring payment of the Real Living Wage and addressing a critical social issue (parental substance use). However, it lacks any explicit green procurement or innovation-focused criteria.

Not green procurement
No innovation focus
