Tender Quality Score

The tender demonstrates good practicality and data consistency but has notable gaps in clarity, completeness, fairness, and sustainability, particularly regarding detailed evaluation criteria and social/environmental considerations.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code clearly, and no disputes or suspensions are reported. However, the summary lacks specific mandatory exclusion grounds, which are fundamental in procurement law, though they might be detailed in the full tender pack. The missing reveal date is a data issue, not necessarily a legal non-compliance if published correctly.

Absence of specific mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided summary.
Clarity65/100

The overall description of the concession is clear and unambiguous. The AI-extracted requirements are well-categorized and understandable at a high level. However, a significant concern is the absence of detailed evaluation criteria for the 60% quality component, making it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed. Specific performance conditions are also not detailed in the summary.

Missing detailed evaluation criteria for the quality component
Lack of specific performance conditions in the summary
Completeness60/100

The tender provides all basic information, including title, organization, reference, estimated value, duration, and location. Key deadlines are specified. While high-level requirements are present, the tender lacks detailed evaluation criteria for quality and specific mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided information, which are crucial for a comprehensive tender.

Missing detailed evaluation criteria for the quality component
Absence of specific mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided summary
Fairness65/100

The tender promotes fairness through the use of an e-tendering system and transparent disclosure of the estimated value. Requirements appear generic and not tailored. However, the lack of detailed and objective evaluation criteria for the 60% quality score significantly impacts transparency and could hinder fair competition, as bidders cannot fully understand the basis of assessment.

Lack of detailed and objective evaluation criteria for the quality component
Practicality90/100

The tender clearly supports electronic submission via the 'in-tend' system, and the URL is provided. The contract start date and duration are explicitly stated, enhancing practicality for potential bidders. Financing information (estimated value) is also available.

Data Consistency80/100

The tender exhibits good data consistency with logical dates and no reported disputes or suspensions. Most key fields are populated. Minor inconsistencies include empty codes for the procedure type and the absence of a 'Liable Person' and 'reveal date'.

Empty codes for procedure type
Missing 'Liable Person' and 'reveal date'
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not include any explicit criteria or focus on green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. This represents a significant missed opportunity to integrate sustainability principles into the procurement process.

Absence of green, social, or innovation criteria
