Tender Quality Score

This tender for refurbishment work demonstrates good basic information and e-procurement support, but is significantly hampered by a lack of explicit evaluation criteria, detailed eligibility and financial requirements, and a critical currency discrepancy in the estimated value.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance65/100

While the procedure type and CPV codes are clear, the tender lacks explicit details for mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, and financial requirements, which are fundamental for legal compliance and ensuring fair competition. The absence of a clear reveal date also makes it difficult to fully assess the reasonableness of the submission period from the outset.

Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and financial requirements
Missing tender reveal date
Clarity60/100

The project description is clear and understandable. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria is a major clarity issue, as bidders cannot fully understand how their proposals will be assessed. The lack of explicit eligibility and financial requirements also reduces overall clarity.

No evaluation criteria specified
Lack of explicit eligibility and financial requirements
Completeness60/100

The tender provides essential information such as title, reference, organization, deadlines, value, duration, and location. Nevertheless, it is incomplete due to the absence of detailed eligibility and financial requirements, and critically, the lack of specified evaluation criteria. Minor gaps include an empty 'Liable Person' field and missing codes for the procedure type.

No evaluation criteria specified
Missing explicit eligibility and financial requirements
Fairness50/100

The tender benefits from full document access, disclosed value, and e-procurement, and technical requirements appear generic. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria is a critical flaw that severely undermines the transparency and objectivity of the procurement process, making it difficult for all bidders to compete on an equal footing.

No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality85/100

The tender supports electronic submission, clearly states the contract start date and duration, enhancing practicality for bidders. While a direct document URL is not explicitly provided in the basic info, it is implied through the e-procurement portal. Financing information is limited to the estimated value without further detail.

No explicit document URL provided
Limited financing source details
Data Consistency65/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical. However, a significant inconsistency exists with the estimated value, stated as 240,000.00 EUR in the basic information but £200,000 in the document summaries. Minor inconsistencies include missing codes for procedure type and an empty 'Liable Person' field.

Inconsistent estimated value (EUR vs. GBP)
Missing procedure type codes
Sustainability60/100

The tender incorporates a positive social aspect by explicitly requiring "access for all" and "modern design features that provide for more efficient maintenance and cleaning," which can indirectly contribute to resource efficiency. However, there is no explicit focus on broader green procurement principles, additional social clauses, or innovation.

No explicit green procurement focus
No explicit innovation focus
