Tender Quality Score

This tender is critically flawed due to the unavailability of the main tender document and the absence of essential requirements and evaluation criteria, severely hindering bidder participation and compliance. While basic information is present, these fundamental issues compromise the tender's quality across multiple dimensions.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance30/100

The tender exhibits significant legal compliance issues, primarily due to the 'Page not found' error for Attachment A-10646, which is presumably the core Invitation to Tender. This means critical legal terms, conditions, and detailed requirements are inaccessible. Furthermore, the AI-extracted requirements explicitly state the absence of mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and financial capacity requirements, and the automated checks flag missing evaluation criteria, all of which are fundamental for a legally sound procurement process.

Main tender document (Attachment A-10646) is a 'Page not found' error.
No explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, or financial capacity requirements provided in the analyzed documents.
Clarity35/100

While the general description of the required service is clear and unambiguous, the overall clarity of the tender is severely compromised by the unavailability of the main tender document and the explicit absence of detailed technical specifications, mandatory exclusion/eligibility/financial requirements, and evaluation criteria. Bidders cannot fully understand the scope, expectations, or assessment methodology.

Main tender document (Attachment A-10646) is inaccessible.
Lack of detailed technical specifications beyond a high-level description.
Completeness25/100

The tender provides basic information such as title, reference, organization, deadlines, value, and duration. However, it is critically incomplete as the primary tender document is inaccessible ('Page not found'). Key requirements (exclusion, eligibility, financial capacity, detailed technical specifications) and evaluation criteria are also explicitly missing from the provided summaries, rendering the tender fundamentally incomplete for any serious bidder.

Main tender document (Attachment A-10646) is a 'Page not found' error.
No explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, or financial capacity requirements.
Fairness30/100

Fairness is severely undermined by the 'Page not found' error for the main tender document, which prevents equal access to essential information for all potential bidders. The absence of specified evaluation criteria introduces subjectivity and lacks transparency, making it impossible for bidders to understand how their offers will be assessed. The lack of e-submission also presents a barrier to equal access.

Main tender document (Attachment A-10646) is inaccessible, preventing full document access.
No evaluation criteria specified, impacting transparency and objectivity.
Practicality30/100

The practicality of responding to this tender is extremely low due to the critical 'Page not found' error for the main tender document. Without access to the full Invitation to Tender, it is practically impossible for any bidder to prepare a compliant and competitive offer. The absence of electronic submission also adds a practical hurdle for bidders.

Main tender document (Attachment A-10646) is inaccessible, making it impractical to respond.
No electronic submission supported.
Data Consistency60/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical. However, there is a notable inconsistency in the estimated contract value, which is stated as both 300,000 EUR and £250,000. While these values are numerically close, the currency discrepancy requires clarification to avoid confusion for bidders.

Inconsistent estimated contract value (300,000 EUR vs. £250,000).
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not include any explicit criteria or mentions related to green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.

No green procurement criteria.
No social aspects included.

Strengths

Clear title and concise description of the required service.
Basic tender information (reference, organization, type, status, duration, start date) is provided.
CPV code is appropriately assigned for software supply services.
Estimated value is disclosed (though with currency inconsistency).
No disputes or suspensions are reported.

Concerns

Critical: The main tender document (Attachment A-10646) is a 'Page not found' error, rendering the tender inaccessible.
Critical: Absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, financial capacity requirements, and detailed technical specifications.
Critical: No evaluation criteria specified, severely impacting fairness and clarity.
Inconsistent estimated contract value (EUR vs GBP).
Lack of electronic submission support and no integration of sustainability criteria.

Recommendations

1. Immediately rectify the 'Page not found' error for Attachment A-10646 to ensure full and equal access to all tender documents.
2. Clearly define and publish all mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, financial capacity requirements, detailed technical specifications, and objective evaluation criteria.
3. Clarify the estimated contract value, specifying the correct currency (EUR or GBP) to eliminate ambiguity.
