Tender Quality Score

This tender for a CRM and Billing Platform is generally well-structured with a clear description of requirements and a substantial estimated value. However, it lacks explicit evaluation criteria and details on the e-submission process, impacting practicality and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender specifies a clear procedure (Competitive flexible procedure) and provides a CPV code. Deadlines are present, though the submission deadline might be considered tight given the project's scope and value. No disputes are indicated. Regulatory compliance is assumed but not explicitly detailed.

Clarity80/100

The description of requirements is detailed, outlining the need for a SaaS-based CRMB platform, implementation services, and ongoing support. The current context and strategic drivers are well-explained. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria leaves some ambiguity on how proposals will be assessed.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, organization, estimated value, contract duration, and CPV code. The description is extensive. However, the tender documents themselves are not accessible or summarized, which is a significant gap.

No document content available
Fairness85/100

The estimated value is disclosed, and the criteria for supplier capability (supporting residential and commercial segments) are objective. The procedure is competitive. However, the lack of explicit evaluation criteria and the absence of information regarding e-submission processes could be perceived as less fair.

No e-submission process specified
Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration. Financing information is not explicitly detailed. The primary concern is the lack of information regarding an e-submission process, which is a standard for modern procurement. The availability of documents is also a practical issue.

No e-submission
No document content available
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and deadlines are populated. There are no indications of suspension or disputes. Dates are logically presented, with the contract start aligning with the submission deadline.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention green procurement, social aspects, or innovation as requirements. It is also not indicated as EU funded, which limits the sustainability score.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
