This tender for school counselling services is generally well-structured with clear objectives and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks detailed technical and submission requirements, and the absence of evaluation criteria is a significant concern.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to basic legal requirements by specifying a clear procedure (Open procedure), providing a CPV code, and indicating no disputes. The deadline, while potentially short, is present. The absence of a reveal date is a minor procedural oversight.

Missing reveal date
Clarity80/100

The description of the service required is clear, outlining the target age group and desired outcomes aligned with GIRFEC principles. Eligibility requirements are also reasonably defined. However, the lack of specified technical capability and submission requirements reduces overall clarity.

No specific technical capability requirements listed
No specific submission requirements listed
Completeness70/100

No specific submission requirements listed
Fairness85/100

The tender is open, and the value is disclosed, promoting fairness. The criteria for eligibility are objective. The lack of specific technical requirements could be seen as a positive for broader participation, but the absence of evaluation criteria is a concern for transparency.

No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality65/100

The tender is marked as E-Procurement, which is positive. However, the AI-extracted requirements indicate 'No e-submission' which contradicts the procurement characteristic, suggesting a potential discrepancy or missing information.
