Tender Quality Score

This tender for fruit, vegetables, milk, and morning goods supply demonstrates good clarity in its description and requirements but is significantly hampered by the absence of specified evaluation criteria and lack of e-submission, impacting legal compliance and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance55/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes correctly, and there are no reported disputes. However, the critical omission of explicit evaluation criteria in the provided documentation is a significant legal compliance concern, as is the missing tender reveal date which prevents verification of minimum legal periods.

Missing evaluation criteria
Missing tender reveal date
Clarity60/100

The description of the framework agreement, goods, and delivery locations is clear and unambiguous. The AI-extracted requirements are well-categorized and understandable. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly reduces the overall clarity for bidders on how their proposals will be assessed.

Evaluation criteria not specified
Completeness60/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, and duration is provided. Requirements are outlined, and documents are listed. Nevertheless, the critical lack of explicit evaluation criteria and the reliance on an external "Invitation to Tender" for crucial details indicate incompleteness in the provided tender content.

Evaluation criteria not specified
Full Invitation to Tender content not provided
Fairness50/100

While the requirements appear generic and the value is disclosed, the absence of specified evaluation criteria, the lack of electronic submission, and the potential for incomplete access to the full Invitation to Tender document raise significant concerns regarding the fairness and transparency of the procurement process.

Evaluation criteria not specified
No electronic submission supported
Practicality50/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the absence of electronic submission support is a notable practical drawback in contemporary procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for bidders.

No electronic submission supported
Data Consistency85/100

The tender exhibits good data consistency with logical dates and no reported disputes. Minor omissions include missing codes for the procedure type and an empty 'Liable Person' field, but these do not significantly impact overall data integrity.

Missing codes for Type/Procedure
Liable Person field empty
Sustainability30/100

The tender does not explicitly incorporate any green procurement, social criteria, or innovation focus. This represents a missed opportunity to integrate broader sustainability objectives into the procurement process.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria
