Tender Quality Score

This tender exhibits significant inconsistencies regarding the product being procured and lacks crucial evaluation criteria, severely impacting clarity and fairness, despite having a clear procedure and electronic submission.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance65/100

The tender states adherence to public procurement regulations, and the procedure type is clear. However, the major discrepancy between the CPV code (Hearing aids) and the described requirement (Locking Devices) is a significant legal compliance risk. The absence of evaluation criteria also raises compliance concerns.

CPV code mismatch with product description
Absence of explicit evaluation criteria
Clarity45/100

Clarity is severely compromised by the fundamental inconsistency between the tender title ('Hearing Protection'), CPV code ('Hearing aids'), and the detailed description/requirements ('Locking Devices'). This ambiguity makes it unclear what product is actually being sought. The complete absence of evaluation criteria further reduces clarity for bidders.

Major product inconsistency (Hearing Protection vs. Locking Devices)
Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness55/100

While basic information is present, the tender is incomplete due to the explicit absence of evaluation criteria. Furthermore, the primary 'Tender Notice' document failed to download, indicating a critical gap in accessible information. There are also minor discrepancies in value and duration figures.

Missing evaluation criteria
Primary 'Tender Notice' document inaccessible
Fairness40/100

Fairness is significantly undermined by the complete lack of evaluation criteria, preventing bidders from understanding how their proposals will be assessed. The inaccessibility of a key tender document and the ambiguity regarding the actual product being procured create an uneven playing field, potentially favoring those with prior knowledge.

Absence of evaluation criteria
Inaccessible 'Tender Notice' document
Practicality65/100

The tender supports electronic submission via the Jaggaer system, which is practical. Contract start date and duration are clearly stated. However, the failure to download the main 'Tender Notice' document poses a practical hurdle for interested bidders.

Main 'Tender Notice' document failed to download
Data Consistency35/100

Data consistency is very poor due to critical contradictions. The tender title and CPV code refer to 'Hearing Protection'/'Hearing aids', while the description and requirements consistently mention 'Locking Devices'. There is also a notable discrepancy between the estimated value in EUR and the GBP range provided in the description.

Inconsistency between product title/CPV and description/requirements
Discrepancy in estimated value (EUR vs GBP)
Sustainability25/100

The tender does not include any specific criteria or mentions related to green procurement, social aspects, or innovation, which is a missed opportunity for modern public procurement practices.

No green procurement criteria
No social aspects considered

Strengths

Clear definition of the procurement procedure type (Open)
Support for electronic submission via a dedicated eProcurement system (Jaggaer)
Estimated value and contract duration are disclosed (despite minor discrepancies)
Reasonable timeframe provided for bid preparation
Contract start date is clearly specified

Concerns

Major inconsistency between the tender's stated product (Hearing Protection/aids) and the detailed requirement (Locking Devices)
Complete absence of explicit evaluation criteria for bidder assessment
Primary 'Tender Notice' document is inaccessible ('Download failed')
Discrepancy in the estimated financial value (EUR vs. GBP range)
Lack of any sustainability, social, or innovation considerations

Recommendations

1. Immediately clarify and correct the exact product/service being procured and update the CPV code accordingly to avoid bidder confusion and legal challenges.
2. Publish comprehensive and objective evaluation criteria to ensure transparency and fairness in the assessment process.
3. Ensure all tender documents, especially the main 'Tender Notice', are fully accessible and provide clear content summaries.
