Tender Quality Score

This tender for refugee resettlement services demonstrates a clear social purpose but is significantly hampered by the absence of explicit evaluation criteria and a lack of electronic submission capabilities.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance60/100

Legal compliance is moderate due to the absence of explicit evaluation criteria, which is a fundamental requirement for transparent procurement. The missing tender reveal date and unspecified mandatory exclusion grounds also present minor compliance gaps.

•Missing evaluation criteria
•Missing tender reveal date
Clarity55/100

While the service description is clear and detailed, the critical absence of evaluation criteria significantly reduces the overall clarity for potential bidders on how their proposals will be assessed and selected.

•Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness55/100

The tender provides most basic information, but the crucial omission of evaluation criteria and explicit mandatory exclusion grounds renders it incomplete for bidders to formulate fully compliant and competitive offers.

•Missing evaluation criteria
•No specific mandatory exclusion grounds explicitly stated
Fairness45/100

Fairness is significantly compromised by the lack of explicit evaluation criteria, which introduces subjectivity into the assessment process. The absence of e-submission also creates potential barriers to equal access for all interested parties.

•Missing evaluation criteria
•No e-submission
Practicality50/100

The lack of electronic submission is a major practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for bidders and the contracting authority. While other practical details like contract start and duration are clear, this omission is significant.

•No e-submission
Data Consistency80/100

Data consistency is generally good, with most key fields populated and logical dates. Minor inconsistencies include unpopulated fields for 'Liable Person' and procedure codes.

•Some fields are unpopulated (e.g., Liable Person, procedure codes)
Sustainability70/100

The tender scores well on social sustainability, as its core purpose is to provide essential resettlement services for vulnerable individuals. However, it lacks explicit focus on green procurement or innovation aspects.

•No green procurement focus
