Tender Quality Score

This tender for toxicology services is generally well-structured with clear basic information and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks specific details on evaluation criteria and submission requirements, and the availability of tender documents is limited.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to general legal compliance by having a clear procedure (open procedure), a specified CPV code, and no reported disputes. The estimated value is disclosed. The submission deadline appears reasonable given the contract duration and start date. However, the absence of a reveal date is a minor procedural oversight.

Missing reveal date
Clarity80/100

The description of the required toxicology services is clear and understandable, outlining the need for comprehensive testing to support statutory responsibilities. Eligibility and technical capability requirements are also clearly stated. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria and submission requirements leaves some ambiguity.

No evaluation criteria specified
No specific submission requirements provided
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, contract duration, and start date. The CPV code is provided. However, the critical issue of zero documents with content/summaries significantly impacts completeness, as potential bidders cannot fully assess the scope without them. Specific financial and submission requirements are also missing.

No document content available
No specific financial requirements provided
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open procedure, allowing broad access. The estimated value is disclosed, and the criteria for eligibility and technical capability are objective. The deadline appears reasonable. However, the lack of available tender document content and unspecified evaluation criteria could be perceived as less fair, as bidders may not have a complete understanding of what is expected or how they will be assessed.

No document content available
Missing evaluation criteria
Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration. However, the absence of information regarding e-submission, a direct document URL (only a count is provided), and financing details limits its practicality for bidders. The lack of specific submission requirements also hinders practical preparation.

No e-submission specified
No document URL provided
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and dates are populated. There are no reported suspensions or disputes. The dates provided (submission deadline, contract start) are logically sequenced. The CPV code is present and relevant.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU funded. This suggests a lack of emphasis on sustainability criteria.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
