Tender Quality Score

This tender provides clear procedural guidance and utilizes an e-procurement system, but suffers from significant gaps in critical information such as evaluation criteria and explicit technical/financial requirements, impacting overall transparency and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance65/100

The procedure type and CPV code are clearly defined, and the submission period is reasonable. However, the explicit absence of mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided text/summaries is a notable legal compliance risk, as these are fundamental requirements.

Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided text/summary.
Clarity55/100

While the general description and instructions for the submission process and communication are very clear, the tender significantly lacks explicit evaluation criteria, technical capability requirements, and financial requirements in the provided summaries, which are crucial for bidders to understand expectations.

No evaluation criteria specified.
No explicit technical capability requirements in the provided text.
Completeness60/100

Basic information like title, reference, organization, value, and CPV code are present, and documents are attached. However, the tender is incomplete regarding essential details such as evaluation criteria and explicit technical/financial requirements. There is also a minor inconsistency in the contract start date.

Missing evaluation criteria.
Missing explicit technical capability requirements in the provided text.
Fairness50/100

The use of an e-procurement portal for all communications and submissions, along with a disclosed value, promotes fairness. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria is a significant transparency and fairness issue, as bidders cannot objectively prepare their proposals or understand the basis of award.

No evaluation criteria specified, severely impacting transparency and objective assessment.
Practicality80/100

The tender strongly supports electronic submission and communication via the In-tend portal, which is highly practical. A link to the portal is implied to be available. The contract duration is consistently stated, and financing information is available. There is only a minor inconsistency in the contract start date.

Minor inconsistency in contract start date (2026-05-07 vs April 2026).
Data Consistency90/100

Most key fields are populated, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. The contract duration is consistent across different sections (12 months is equivalent to 42 weeks plus a 10-week extension option). The primary inconsistency lies in the contract start date.

Inconsistent contract start date (2026-05-07 vs April 2026).
Sustainability30/100

The provided tender information and summaries do not explicitly mention any green procurement criteria, social aspects, or innovation focus, indicating a lack of emphasis on sustainability.
