Tender Quality Score

This tender, currently in a 'planning' status, lacks critical documentation and detailed evaluation criteria, making it incomplete and potentially unfair despite its open procedure. Full details are expected upon its official opening.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance100/100

The tender is in a 'planning' status, which explains the current absence of full documentation. However, as presented, it lacks essential legal requirements for a fully compliant open procedure, such as specified mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility criteria, and detailed evaluation criteria. These are fundamental for ensuring a legally sound procurement process.

Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing eligibility requirements
Clarity40/100

The project description, scope of work, and technical requirements are clearly outlined, including precise site location details. However, the absence of full tender documents means crucial details regarding the procurement process itself, including specific submission instructions and evaluation methodology, remain unclear.

Lack of full tender documents obscures process details
Unspecified evaluation criteria introduce ambiguity
Completeness83/100

The tender is significantly incomplete, explicitly stating its 'planning' status and that 'Full details will be made available when the open and competitive tender opens'. As provided, it lacks all tender documents, mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, financial requirements, and crucially, detailed evaluation criteria.

No tender documents attached
Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Fairness60/100

While an 'Open procedure' is positive, the complete absence of detailed evaluation criteria is a significant fairness concern. Without clear, pre-defined criteria, the evaluation process, particularly the in-person presentation, could be subjective and lack transparency, potentially disadvantaging some bidders. There is no direct evidence of tailoring for a specific company, but the lack of clear criteria could facilitate it.

Absence of detailed evaluation criteria compromises fairness and transparency
In-person presentation without clear scoring criteria may introduce subjectivity
Practicality40/100

The requirement for an in-person presentation adds a logistical step for bidders. The project scope is well-defined, but the lack of full documentation at this 'planning' stage makes it difficult for potential bidders to prepare adequately before the official tender opening.

In-person presentation adds logistical burden for bidders
Lack of full documentation hinders early comprehensive preparation for bidders
Data Consistency100/100

A minor inconsistency exists in the submission deadline time, listed as '2026-02-26 23:59:59' in the timeline and '2026-02-26 00:00:00' in the submission requirements. This should be clarified.

Inconsistent submission deadline time (23:59:59 vs 00:00:00)
Sustainability25/100

The tender information does not include any specific green procurement or social criteria, indicating a missed opportunity to integrate sustainability objectives into the project design and execution.

No specified green procurement criteria
No specified social criteria

Concerns
