Tender Quality Score

This tender exhibits significant quality concerns, primarily due to an irrelevant document, missing evaluation criteria, and a lack of specific details for mandatory requirements, severely impacting its overall integrity and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance40/100

The tender's basic structure is present, but the inclusion of an entirely irrelevant document (Document 2) is a major breach, indicating poor document management. The absence of evaluation criteria is also a significant transparency and legal compliance issue. The 'Over Sum Limit: No' for a 2M EUR contract is questionable, potentially indicating a misclassification regarding applicable regulations.

Irrelevant document (Document 2) included in tender package
Evaluation criteria are explicitly missing
Clarity35/100

The general description is clear, but the explicit absence of evaluation criteria is a critical clarity flaw, preventing bidders from understanding how their proposals will be judged. AI-extracted requirements are generic but not comprehensive, lacking specific details for exclusion grounds and financial requirements in the summary.

Evaluation criteria are explicitly missing
No specific mandatory exclusion grounds or financial requirements detailed in summary
Completeness40/100

While basic information is present, one of the attached documents (Document 2) is completely irrelevant, which is a major completeness failure. Evaluation criteria are missing, and specific details for exclusion grounds and financial requirements are incomplete in the provided summary.

Irrelevant document (Document 2) included in tender package
Evaluation criteria are explicitly missing
Fairness30/100

The explicit absence of evaluation criteria severely compromises fairness and transparency, as bidders cannot understand how their proposals will be assessed, leading to potential arbitrary decisions. The irrelevant document also raises concerns about the overall integrity of the process. Requirements, as stated, do not appear tailored.

Evaluation criteria are explicitly missing
Irrelevant document (Document 2) included in tender package
Practicality60/100

Electronic submission is supported, which is a positive aspect. However, the contract start date is not specified, and financing information beyond the estimated value is limited. The presence of an irrelevant document also hinders practical access to correct information.

Contract start date is not specified
Irrelevant document (Document 2) included in tender package
Data Consistency30/100

Data consistency is severely undermined by the inclusion of an irrelevant document (Document 2). Key fields like 'Liable Person' and procedure codes are missing. The statement 'Over Sum Limit: No' for a 2M EUR contract is inconsistent with typical EU thresholds, even considering UK national rules.

Irrelevant document (Document 2) included in tender package
Missing 'Liable Person' and procedure codes
