Tender Quality Score

This tender demonstrates a clear need and well-defined service description but suffers from significant gaps in crucial procurement documentation, particularly regarding evaluation criteria and e-submission capabilities.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes correctly, and no disputes are noted. However, the absence of a reveal date, explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and a 'Liable Person' in the provided information represents notable gaps in legal disclosure and clarity for bidders.

Missing reveal date
No explicit mandatory exclusion grounds detailed
Clarity60/100

The service description is clear and unambiguous, and the AI-extracted technical and financial requirements are understandable. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria and detailed mandatory/eligibility requirements significantly hinders overall clarity for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
No explicit mandatory exclusion grounds detailed
Completeness65/100

While basic information, financial details, timeline, and location are well-provided, the tender is incomplete due to the explicit lack of evaluation criteria, detailed mandatory exclusion grounds, and eligibility requirements. The missing 'Liable Person' is also a minor completeness issue.

Missing evaluation criteria
No explicit mandatory exclusion grounds detailed
Fairness50/100

The estimated value is disclosed, and the technical requirements appear generic. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria severely compromises transparency and objectivity. Furthermore, the lack of e-submission creates a significant barrier to equal access and fair competition.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission
Practicality55/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. Nevertheless, the absence of electronic submission capabilities is a major practical drawback in modern procurement, increasing administrative burden and potentially limiting participation. A direct document URL is also not provided.

No e-submission
Document URL not provided
Data Consistency85/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. There are no noted suspensions or disputes. Minor inconsistencies include the missing 'Liable Person' and the noted absence of explicit mandatory exclusion/eligibility criteria in the AI summary.

Liable Person missing
No explicit mandatory exclusion grounds detailed
