Tender Quality Score

This tender presents a clear project description and technical requirements but suffers from significant gaps in crucial documentation and evaluation criteria, impacting overall transparency and fairness. While basic information is well-provided, the absence of key legal and procedural details is a notable concern.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and assigns CPV codes correctly. However, the absence of specified mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements, along with the failure to access the main 'Tender Notice' document, raises concerns regarding full compliance with procurement regulations.

Mandatory exclusion grounds not specified
Financial requirements not explicitly specified
Clarity80/100

The project description and technical capability requirements are exceptionally clear and detailed. However, the explicit lack of evaluation criteria and the absence of full financial and exclusion requirements significantly reduce the overall clarity of the bidding process.

Evaluation criteria not specified
Mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements are missing
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, duration, and CPV code is complete. However, the critical 'Tender Notice' document failed to download, and essential details like mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria are missing from the provided summaries.

Main 'Tender Notice' document failed to download
Mandatory exclusion grounds not specified
Fairness70/100

The estimated value is disclosed, and e-procurement is supported, which promotes equal access. However, the failure to provide the main 'Tender Notice' document and the explicit absence of evaluation criteria severely undermine transparency and fairness for potential bidders.

Main 'Tender Notice' document failed to download, limiting full document access
Evaluation criteria not specified, impacting objective assessment
Practicality65/100

Electronic submission via the Proactis portal is supported, and key contract dates are clearly defined. Nevertheless, the inability to access the main 'Tender Notice' document poses a significant practical hurdle for interested parties.

Main 'Tender Notice' document failed to download
Data Consistency90/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. A minor inconsistency is the empty 'Liable Person' field.

Liable Person field is empty
Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention green procurement, social aspects, or innovation as core criteria. While Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) might lead to innovative solutions, it's not framed as a sustainability focus.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No explicit social aspects mentioned

Strengths

Clear and detailed project description and technical requirements
Estimated value and key contract dates (duration, start) are clearly specified
E-procurement via Proactis portal is supported
CPV code is appropriately assigned

Concerns

Mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements are not specified
Evaluation criteria are explicitly missing, impacting transparency and fairness
No explicit focus on sustainability, social aspects, or innovation
