Tender Quality Score

This tender for garden and landscape design is generally well-described but suffers from critical omissions regarding evaluation criteria and explicit bidder requirements, impacting fairness and clarity. Practical issues like a failed document download and contradictory e-submission information also reduce its overall quality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender uses an Open procedure and has a relevant CPV code, with no reported disputes. However, the explicit absence of mandatory exclusion grounds and eligibility requirements in the AI summary, along with a failed document download for the 'Tender Notice', indicates potential gaps in full legal compliance or disclosure, even for a low-value contract.

No mandatory exclusion grounds explicitly specified.
No specific eligibility requirements explicitly specified.
Clarity65/100

The service description is clear and unambiguous, and the AI-extracted technical, financial, and submission requirements are understandable. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly hinders bidders' understanding of how proposals will be judged, making the tender less clear.

Missing evaluation criteria.
Completeness60/100

Basic information, financial details, duration, and location are well-provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the missing evaluation criteria, the lack of explicit mandatory exclusion/eligibility requirements, and the failure to download a key document ('Tender Notice').

Missing evaluation criteria.
No mandatory exclusion grounds explicitly specified.
Fairness55/100

The tender value is disclosed, and the requirements for innovative design appear generic, not tailored. However, the critical absence of evaluation criteria creates a significant fairness concern, as it allows for subjective assessment. The failed document download and contradictory e-procurement information also pose barriers to equal access and transparency.

Missing evaluation criteria.
Tender Notice document download failed.
Practicality60/100

Contract duration and financing information are available. However, the contradiction regarding e-procurement/e-submission functionality creates practical uncertainty for bidders. The failed download of the 'Tender Notice' also presents a practical barrier to accessing full tender details.

Contradiction regarding E-Procurement characteristic and 'No e-submission' automated check result.
Tender Notice document download failed.
Data Consistency70/100

Most key fields are populated, dates are logical, and there are no reported disputes. However, minor inconsistencies exist with an empty 'Liable Person' field and missing codes for the procedure type. The contradiction between 'E-Procurement' and 'No e-submission' is a more significant data inconsistency.

Empty 'Liable Person' field.
Missing codes for 'Type' and 'Procedure'.
Sustainability50/100

The tender explicitly encourages 'innovative and forward thinking new design and planting ideas,' which is a positive focus on innovation. However, it lacks any explicit mention of green procurement criteria or social aspects, representing a missed opportunity for broader sustainability integration.

No explicit green procurement criteria.
No explicit social criteria.

Strengths

Clear and detailed description of the required service.
Open procedure type promotes broad competition.
Estimated value and contract duration are clearly specified.

Concerns

Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and eligibility requirements.
The 'Tender Notice' document failed to download, hindering full access.
Contradiction between 'E-Procurement' characteristic and 'No e-submission' automated check.
Lack of explicit green or social procurement criteria.

Recommendations

1. Clearly define and publish detailed evaluation criteria to ensure transparency and fairness for all bidders.
2. Ensure all tender documents, especially the 'Tender Notice', are fully accessible and downloadable.
3. Clarify and explicitly state all mandatory exclusion grounds and eligibility requirements for bidders.
