Tender Quality Score

This tender for a Christmas Market Operator is generally well-structured, with clear objectives and basic information provided. However, it lacks detailed evaluation criteria and specific financial or submission requirements, impacting completeness and potentially fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with basic legal requirements for open competition below the threshold. The CPV code is appropriate, and there are no immediate indications of disputes. Deadlines are present, though the submission deadline might be considered tight given the contract start date. The absence of a reveal date for documents is a minor procedural issue.

Missing reveal date for documents
Clarity80/100

The description of the required services (stalls, bars, entertainment) is clear and understandable. The objectives of attracting visitors and providing a high-quality experience are well-articulated. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria leaves some ambiguity on how proposals will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration/start. However, crucial details regarding specific submission requirements, detailed financial expectations beyond the total value, and the content of the tender documents are missing, reducing overall completeness.

No document content available
Missing specific financial requirements
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open competition, which promotes fairness. The estimated value is disclosed, and the criteria for the market components are objective. The lack of specific tailored requirements to particular companies is positive. However, the absence of detailed evaluation criteria and the limited access to document content could be perceived as a slight disadvantage.

No document content available
Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration. Financing information is not explicitly detailed. The primary concern regarding practicality is the lack of information on e-submission, which is a standard and expected method for modern procurement. The URL for documents is also not provided.

No e-submission specified
Document URL not provided
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated consistently. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates provided (submission deadline and contract start) are logically sequenced, although the gap is relatively short.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation requirements. It is also not indicated as EU funded. This suggests a lack of focus on sustainability criteria.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
