Tender Quality Score

This tender is a Pre-Market Engagement (PME) exercise, not a formal procurement. It is well-structured for information gathering but lacks details for a final award. The focus on sustainability and innovation is positive but not fully developed.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender is in a planning phase, so formal legal compliance aspects like specific deadlines for submission or clear procedures for a full procurement are not yet applicable. The CPV code is provided, and there are no indications of disputes. The PME nature means regulatory compliance is focused on information gathering rather than award.

Clarity80/100

The description clearly outlines the purpose of the PME, the scope of the future procurement (uniforms, footwear, PPE), and the intended lot structure. The request for information on market capacity, sustainability, and innovation is explicit. However, specific evaluation criteria for the PME questionnaire are not detailed.

No evaluation criteria specified for PME questionnaire
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration is present. The submission deadline for the PME questionnaire is stated within the document context, though not explicitly in the main fields. Crucially, no tender documents with content are available, hindering a full assessment of completeness.

No document content available
Fairness85/100

As a PME, fairness is assessed by the openness of information access. Suppliers are invited to email for a questionnaire, which is a reasonable approach for this stage. The estimated value is disclosed. The criteria for the PME are focused on gathering market intelligence, which is inherently objective at this stage. No specific company tailoring is apparent.

Practicality65/100

The PME requires participation via email to request a questionnaire, which is not an e-submission in the typical procurement sense. The contract start date is provided for the future procurement. Financing information is not detailed, and the PME itself does not have a direct financing aspect. The duration of the future contract is specified.

No e-submission for PME questionnaire
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields like title, reference, organization, estimated value, and dates are populated logically. There are no indications of suspension or disputes. The timeline for the PME submission deadline and the future contract start date are consistent.

Sustainability50/100

The PME explicitly seeks information on sustainable and ethical product options, supply-chain resilience, and circular solutions. This indicates a consideration for sustainability in the future procurement. However, it is not explicitly stated as 'green procurement' or EU-funded in the provided fields.

Not explicitly EU funded
