Tender Quality Score

The tender documentation provides clear technical requirements but suffers from significant deficiencies in evaluation criteria, estimated value disclosure, and e-submission capabilities, impacting overall transparency and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance65/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code clearly, and there are no disputes. However, the missing reveal date makes it impossible to assess the reasonableness of the reveal-to-submission period. The undisclosed estimated value and, critically, the absence of specified evaluation criteria, mandatory exclusion grounds, and eligibility requirements (as per AI extraction) are significant legal compliance issues regarding transparency and due process.

Missing reveal date
Estimated value not disclosed (classified)
Clarity70/100

The description of the required software and its technical capabilities, including ISO compliance and license requirements, is very clear and unambiguous. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a major clarity flaw, as bidders cannot understand how their proposals will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness60/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, deadlines, duration, and location is provided. Technical requirements are detailed. Nevertheless, the tender is incomplete due to the undisclosed estimated value, and the significant absence of explicit evaluation criteria, mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and financial requirements (as per AI extraction).

Estimated value not disclosed
No evaluation criteria specified
Fairness55/100

The undisclosed estimated value and the complete lack of evaluation criteria severely undermine the fairness and transparency of the procurement process, making it difficult for bidders to prepare competitive and relevant proposals. The absence of e-submission also creates potential barriers to equal access.

Estimated value not disclosed (classified)
No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality60/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the lack of electronic submission is a practical drawback, potentially increasing administrative burden for bidders. The undisclosed estimated value also hinders bidders' ability to gauge the scope and financial viability of the project.

No e-submission
Estimated value not disclosed (classified)
Data Consistency85/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include empty fields for 'Liable Person' and procedure codes, but these do not significantly impact the overall data integrity.

Liable Person field is empty
Type and Procedure codes are empty
Sustainability50/100

The tender does not include any explicit criteria or considerations related to green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. It is also not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.

Not green procurement
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear and specific technical requirements for the software solution
Well-defined purpose for the software, including ISO 9001/13485 compliance
Basic tender information (title, reference, organization, CPV, duration, start date) is present
No disputes or suspensions reported

Concerns

Absence of evaluation criteria, significantly impacting legal compliance, clarity, and fairness
Undisclosed estimated value, hindering completeness, fairness, and practicality for bidders
Missing reveal date and lack of explicit mandatory exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements (as per AI extraction)
No electronic submission option, potentially creating barriers to access and efficiency
Lack of sustainability, social, or innovation considerations

Recommendations

1. Publish comprehensive evaluation criteria to ensure transparency and fairness for all potential bidders.
2. Disclose the estimated value to aid bidder preparation and market understanding.
3. Provide a clear reveal date and explicitly state all mandatory exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements in the tender documentation.
