Tender Quality Score

This tender notice is in the planning stage, indicating a future publication. It provides essential details like title, estimated value, and duration, but lacks specific requirements and evaluation criteria, impacting its immediate usability.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The notice is in a planning phase, so formal legal compliance checks are premature. However, the presence of a CPV code and a clear organization name are positive. The submission deadline appears reasonable given the planning status, but the absence of a specified procedure type is a minor concern.

Clarity80/100

The description clearly states the purpose and the procuring entity. The reference to an existing contract award notice and a supplier feedback survey provides some context. However, the lack of specific requirements and evaluation criteria makes the tender's exact needs unclear at this stage.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, organization, estimated value, and contract duration are present. The submission deadline is also provided. However, crucial documents with content are missing, and specific requirements are not detailed, leaving a significant gap in completeness for potential bidders.

No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender is divided into parts, which can promote competition. The estimated value is disclosed, and the process appears to be moving towards e-procurement, as suggested by the reference to a feedback survey. There are no indications of requirements tailored to specific companies.

Practicality65/100

The notice indicates a future publication in May 2026, and the submission deadline is set for March 2026, which is contradictory and impractical. The lack of explicit e-submission details and the absence of financing information reduce practicality for immediate engagement.

Contradictory dates (submission deadline before planned publication)
No e-submission specified
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields like title, organization, value, and duration are populated. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates, however, present a significant inconsistency with the submission deadline preceding the planned publication date.

Submission deadline precedes planned publication date
Sustainability50/100

The tender notice does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU funded, suggesting a lack of emphasis on these sustainability dimensions.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
