Tender Quality Score

This tender provides essential information for a below-threshold contract but lacks modern e-submission capabilities and detailed mandatory exclusion grounds, impacting fairness and legal compliance.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance70/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes correctly. However, the absence of specific mandatory exclusion grounds details and the missing reveal date are notable legal compliance gaps. The procedure is 'below threshold', which may imply less stringent requirements, but fundamental legal aspects should still be fully detailed.

No specific mandatory exclusion grounds are detailed
Missing reveal date
Clarity80/100

The description is clear but very brief. AI-extracted requirements are understandable, and the 100% price-based award criteria are explicitly stated in the document summaries, despite an automated check flagging missing evaluation criteria. Performance conditions could be more detailed.

Description is very brief and redundant
Performance conditions are not detailed beyond a high-level statement
Completeness65/100

Basic information, deadlines, value, duration, and location are provided. However, the tender is incomplete regarding the reveal date, specific mandatory exclusion grounds, and the liable person. The overall description is minimal.

Missing reveal date
No specific mandatory exclusion grounds are detailed
Fairness60/100

The tender provides full document access and discloses the estimated value, and requirements appear generic. However, the absence of e-submission is a significant barrier to equal access and fair competition, severely impacting this category.

No e-submission supported
Practicality40/100

The lack of electronic submission is a critical practical deficiency in modern procurement, making the process less efficient and accessible. The contract start date and duration are clearly specified.

No e-submission supported
Document URL not explicitly provided
Data Consistency85/100

Key fields are mostly populated, and dates are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include missing codes for procedure types and a missing liable person, as well as a slight currency difference in value presentation between the main data (EUR) and a document summary (GBP).

Missing liable person
Missing procedure codes
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not include any explicit green procurement, social aspects beyond the inherent nature of the service, or innovation focus. It is also not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.

Not green procurement
No social criteria beyond the basic service

Strengths

Clear definition of procedure type and CPV code
Estimated value and contract duration are specified
Requirements are understandable and generic
Documents are available and processed
No disputes or suspensions reported

Concerns
