Tender Quality Score

This tender, currently in the planning phase for homecare services, demonstrates good clarity and data consistency for market engagement, inviting SMEs and outlining service objectives. Key areas for improvement include disclosing the estimated value and defining comprehensive evaluation criteria for the subsequent formal tender.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender is in a planning status, so the absence of a formal procedure type is expected. The CPV code is correctly assigned, and there are no disputes. The market engagement approach is a good practice. However, the missing reveal date for the notice is a data point issue.

Missing reveal date for the notice
Formal procedure type not yet defined
Clarity80/100

The description of the homecare services and their objectives is clear and unambiguous. The AI-extracted requirements, while high-level, are clear for the preliminary market engagement phase. Detailed evaluation criteria are not yet specified, which is expected at this stage.

Evaluation criteria not yet specified
Completeness70/100

Basic information, deadlines, duration, and documents are provided. However, the estimated value is classified, and comprehensive evaluation criteria are missing, which are significant gaps for a full tender, even if expected at the planning stage.

Estimated value is classified (not disclosed)
Evaluation criteria are missing
Fairness85/100

The requirements are generic and not tailored, and the market engagement explicitly invites SMEs, promoting broader participation. Electronic expression of interest is supported. However, the classified estimated value reduces transparency for potential bidders.

Estimated value is classified
Practicality65/100

Electronic submission for market engagement is supported, and the contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the classified estimated value hinders practical planning and resource allocation for potential suppliers.

Estimated value is classified
Data Consistency90/100

Dates are logical and consistent, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. While some fields like 'Type' and 'Procedure' are empty, this is consistent with the 'planning' status. The AI-extracted requirements for e-submission contradict an automated flag, but the former is more specific to the content.

Sustainability50/100

While the service itself is inherently social, the tender documentation at this preliminary stage does not explicitly incorporate green procurement, broader social criteria, or innovation focus as part of the procurement process or evaluation.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No explicit social criteria beyond service outcome

Strengths

Clear description of service objectives
Proactive market engagement, inviting SMEs
Good data consistency for dates and status
CPV code is correctly assigned
Electronic expression of interest supported

Concerns

Estimated value is classified, hindering transparency
Formal procedure type is not yet defined

No explicit integration of green or innovation criteria
Missing reveal date for the notice

Recommendations

1. Disclose the estimated value to enhance transparency and allow suppliers to better assess the opportunity.
2. Develop and clearly communicate comprehensive evaluation criteria for the formal tender.
3. Consider integrating explicit sustainability (green/social) and innovation criteria into the future tender.
