Tender Quality Score

This is a soft market testing exercise, not a formal tender. While it provides clear objectives and links to access questionnaires, it lacks specific details on evaluation criteria and financial aspects, impacting its completeness and practicality for a formal procurement.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The notice is for soft market testing, which has different legal implications than a formal tender. Deadlines are provided, and the CPV code is appropriate. However, the absence of a reveal date and formal procedure codes means it's not fully compliant with typical tender regulations, though this is expected for a pre-procurement stage.

Missing reveal date
No formal procedure code specified
Clarity80/100

The purpose and scope of the soft market testing are clearly defined. The description explains the intent to gather feedback to shape a future procurement. Requirements for participation are straightforward: respond to the questionnaire.

Completeness70/100

Key information such as contract duration and start date are present. However, the estimated value is not disclosed, and there is no content available for the tender documents, which are crucial for a full understanding of the future procurement.

Estimated value not disclosed
No document content available
Fairness85/100

The soft market testing explicitly states that participation will not advantage or disadvantage any supplier in future evaluations, promoting fairness. Access to the questionnaire is provided via public links. The criteria for participation are objective (responding to the questionnaire).

Practicality65/100

The soft market testing requires submission via a questionnaire accessed through provided links. While this is a form of e-submission, the lack of a direct e-submission portal for the questionnaire itself and the absence of financing information reduce practicality for a formal tender context.

No direct e-submission portal for questionnaire
Financing information not detailed
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields like title, reference, organization, and dates are populated. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates provided are logical for a planning stage.

Sustainability50/100

There is no mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation within the description of the soft market testing. This indicates a lack of focus on sustainability criteria at this preliminary stage.

No green procurement mentioned
No social criteria mentioned

Strengths

Clear description of soft market testing purpose
Appropriate CPV code provided
Links to access market testing questionnaire
Explicit statement on non-advantage/disadvantage for future tenders

Concerns

3. Provide full tender documents for the future procurement well in advance of the submission deadline.
