Tender Quality Score

This tender for legal services is generally well-structured, with clear basic information and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on sustainability aspects.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with general procurement principles, referencing the 'Light Touch Regime' and the 'Procurement Act 2023'. The CPV code is appropriate. No disputes are noted. The deadline, while potentially short, is specified. The absence of a reveal date is a minor oversight.

Missing reveal date
Clarity80/100

The description of services is clear, and the contract duration and start date are specified. However, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria makes it difficult for bidders to understand how their submissions will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration. However, the tender documents themselves are not accessible for review, hindering a full assessment of completeness.

No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender is open, and the estimated value is disclosed. The use of an e-procurement platform (In-Tend) is positive. The requirements are general and do not appear to be tailored to specific companies, promoting fairness.

Practicality65/100

The tender requires e-submission via a specific platform, which is practical. The contract start date and duration are clear. However, the lack of information on financing and the absence of a document URL for direct download limit practicality.

No e-submission (implied, as URL not provided)
Document URL not provided
Data Consistency90/100
