Tender Quality Score

This is a well-structured early market engagement notice, clearly outlining the scope and intent for a future air quality monitoring tender. It effectively seeks supplier insights to shape the final procurement approach.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

As a market engagement notice, the tender is compliant with pre-procurement transparency principles. The CPV code is correctly assigned, and the timeline for gathering insights is reasonable. The 'Type: None' and 'Procedure: None' are appropriate for a planning-stage notice, not a formal tender.

Clarity80/100

The purpose of the notice as early market engagement is exceptionally clear and unambiguous. The description of the future service and the preliminary requirements are well-articulated and understandable, setting clear expectations for participants.

Completeness70/100

The notice provides all essential information for market engagement, including title, organization, reference, estimated value, duration, and contract start date. While one document failed to download and formal evaluation criteria are absent, this is expected for a planning-stage notice.

•One tender document failed to download.
Fairness85/100

The market engagement process itself promotes fairness by seeking broad input from potential suppliers. The preliminary requirements appear generic and not tailored to a specific company. The estimated value is disclosed, and the deadline for insights is reasonable.

•Lack of explicit e-submission support for market engagement responses.
Practicality65/100

Key practical details like contract start date, duration, and estimated value are clearly specified. However, the automated check indicates a lack of e-submission support, which is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, even for market engagement.

•No explicit support for electronic submission of market engagement responses.
Data Consistency90/100

All provided data fields are largely consistent and logical. The 'planning' status aligns with the 'Market Engagement' description and the 'None' values for Type and Procedure. Dates are coherent.

Sustainability50/100

The notice explicitly seeks insights on 'sustainability considerations' and 'opportunities for added social value' during the market engagement phase. This demonstrates a proactive intent to integrate green and social aspects into the final tender, which is a positive step.

•Sustainability and social aspects are currently only 'insights sought' rather than formal requirements.

Strengths

Clear communication of purpose as early market engagement.
Proactive seeking of insights on sustainability and social value.
Transparent disclosure of estimated contract value and duration.
Preliminary requirements are generic and objective.
Good data consistency across the notice.

Concerns

Lack of explicit e-submission support for market engagement responses.
One listed document failed to download.
Formal tender procedure type and evaluation criteria are not yet defined (expected for this stage, but a future consideration).

Recommendations

1. Implement e-submission capabilities for market engagement responses and the subsequent formal tender.
2. Ensure all listed documents are accessible and downloadable.
3. Clearly communicate how insights gathered from market engagement will directly influence the final tender design and criteria.
