Tender Quality Score

This tender provides essential information and a reasonable timeline but suffers from critical omissions regarding detailed requirements, evaluation criteria, and the unavailability of a key tender document, significantly impacting clarity and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender outlines an Open procedure with reasonable deadlines and correct CPV codes, indicating general adherence to legal frameworks. However, the combination of 'Open procedure' with a 'shortlisting questionnaire for pre-qualification' introduces a slight procedural ambiguity that could be clearer.

Procedural ambiguity regarding 'Open procedure' combined with pre-qualification.
Clarity55/100

While the overall description is clear, the provided summary lacks specific details for mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and crucially, explicit evaluation criteria, making it difficult for bidders to fully understand the assessment basis.

Missing specific mandatory exclusion grounds in summary.
Missing specific financial requirements in summary.
Completeness50/100

Basic tender information, value, and timelines are present. However, the 'Invitation to Tender Document' is marked as 'Page not found', which is a critical omission. Furthermore, detailed financial requirements and evaluation criteria are not provided in the summary.

Key 'Invitation to Tender Document' unavailable ('Page not found').
Lack of detailed financial requirements in summary.
Fairness45/100

The unavailability of the 'Invitation to Tender Document' and the absence of specified evaluation criteria severely hinder transparency and equal access for all potential bidders. The lack of e-submission also presents a minor barrier.

Key tender document unavailable.
No specified evaluation criteria.
Practicality50/100

The tender lacks support for electronic submission, which is a practical drawback in modern procurement. The unavailability of a key document also creates a significant practical hurdle for bidders.

No electronic submission supported.
Key tender document unavailable.
Data Consistency85/100

The provided data is largely consistent, with logical timelines and no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor gaps like an empty 'Liable Person' field do not significantly impact consistency.

Sustainability20/100

No green procurement criteria.
No social criteria.

Concerns
