Tender Quality Score

This tender for Fire Safety Works is well-structured with clear process instructions and key details, but significantly lacks explicit evaluation criteria and specific financial requirements, which are critical for fair and comprehensive bidding.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes correctly, and the submission period (29 days from today) is reasonable for a below-threshold tender. However, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria and detailed mandatory exclusion grounds presents a compliance risk regarding transparency and equal treatment.

Missing explicit evaluation criteria
Mandatory exclusion grounds mentioned but not detailed
Clarity70/100

The description and communication rules are clear, and AI-extracted requirements are well-categorized. However, the critical absence of evaluation criteria, lack of specific financial requirements, and general scope description (without detailed works) significantly reduce the clarity for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
No specific financial requirements explicitly stated
Completeness65/100

Most basic information, including title, organization, value, deadlines, and duration, is provided. Documents are available. However, the tender is incomplete due to the explicit lack of evaluation criteria, specific financial requirements, and details on how the tender is 'Divided into Parts'.

Missing evaluation criteria
No specific financial requirements explicitly stated
Fairness70/100

The tender promotes fairness through an open competition, disclosed value, e-tendering system, and seemingly generic requirements. The submission period is reasonable. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a major concern, as it undermines transparency and objectivity in the assessment process, impacting equal treatment.

No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality75/100

Electronic submission is clearly supported, and key dates like contract start and duration are specified. While a direct document URL is not provided, it's implied by the e-tendering system. The main practical challenge for bidders is the lack of evaluation criteria, making it difficult to prepare a targeted and relevant bid.

No evaluation criteria specified (impacts practical bid preparation)
Data Consistency85/100

Key financial figures and dates are consistent and logical. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include missing codes for the procedure type and the 'Liable Person' field, but these do not affect the integrity of critical tender data.

Missing 'Liable Person' field
Missing codes for 'Type' and 'Procedure'
Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly include any green procurement, social, or innovation aspects. As it is not EU-funded, these are not mandatory, but their absence means the tender does not actively contribute to broader sustainability goals.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria

Concerns

Critical absence of explicit evaluation criteria
Lack of specific financial requirements for bidders
