Tender Quality Score

This tender for a system efficiency review at the Port of Dover is generally well-structured, with clear objectives and a reasonable timeline. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on financial aspects, impacting its completeness and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with general procurement regulations, including the use of a proper CPV code and an open competition procedure. Deadlines are provided, and there's no indication of disputes. The procedure is described as 'Below threshold - open competition', which suggests adherence to relevant thresholds.

Clarity80/100

The description of the Port of Dover and its mission is comprehensive. The technical requirements are clearly stated, outlining the need to identify inefficiencies and implement solutions for growth, traveler experience, and cost reduction. However, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria leaves some ambiguity on how proposals will be judged.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, and a clear description. The contract duration and start date are specified. However, the estimated value is not disclosed, and the tender documents themselves are not available with content, which significantly hinders a complete assessment.

Estimated value not disclosed
No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open competition, which promotes fairness. The requirements are focused on the service needed rather than specific companies. However, the lack of disclosed value and specific evaluation criteria could be perceived as less transparent, although not overtly unfair.

Value not disclosed
No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality65/100

The contract start date and duration are provided. However, the tender does not explicitly mention e-submission, and the availability of document URLs is not confirmed. Financing information is also absent, which could be a practical consideration for potential bidders.
