Tender Quality Score

This tender for catering services is generally well-structured with clear requirements and adequate financial information, but lacks specific evaluation criteria and detailed sustainability considerations.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender specifies an open procedure, provides a CPV code, and has no reported disputes. The deadline, while potentially tight given the document access, is formally stated. Regulatory compliance is assumed due to the structured format.

Clarity80/100

The description of services, including the transition to hot box meals for primary schools and maintaining fresh cooking for the secondary school, is clear. The reference to attachments for detailed requirements enhances clarity.

Completeness70/100

Essential information like title, reference, organization, estimated value, contract duration, and start date are present. However, the absence of content for attached documents and the lack of explicit evaluation criteria detract from completeness.

No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open procedure, allowing broad access. The estimated value is disclosed, and the requirements are detailed without appearing overly tailored to a specific company. E-procurement is implied but not explicitly stated as the sole method.

Practicality65/100

While a submission deadline is provided, the lack of explicit e-submission mentioned and no direct URL for document submission reduce practicality. The contract start date and duration are specified.

No e-submission mentioned
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, organization, value, and deadlines are populated consistently. Dates for the contract start and deadline are logical and do not indicate contradictions.

Sustainability50/100
