Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear service description and utilizes e-procurement, but suffers from critical omissions regarding evaluation criteria and detailed mandatory exclusion grounds, impacting clarity and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance70/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes correctly, and the submission deadline is reasonable. However, the AI summary explicitly states that no specific mandatory exclusion grounds are detailed, which is a significant legal compliance gap as these are typically required.

No specific mandatory exclusion grounds explicitly detailed in the provided information.
Clarity60/100

The service description is clear and comprehensive, detailing the scope and specialist access methods. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly reduces the overall clarity for potential bidders.

Missing evaluation criteria.
AI-extracted requirements are not comprehensive or clear regarding mandatory exclusion grounds.
Completeness65/100

Basic information, estimated value, duration, and documents are all provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the absence of detailed evaluation criteria and explicit mandatory exclusion grounds.

Missing evaluation criteria.
Mandatory exclusion grounds are mentioned but not detailed.
Fairness55/100

The tender discloses the value, offers reasonable time for submission, and supports e-procurement. However, the lack of transparent and objective evaluation criteria is a major concern, severely impacting the fairness of the procurement process.

Missing evaluation criteria, which compromises transparency and objectivity.
Practicality75/100

E-procurement is supported, and the contract duration is clearly specified. While a direct document URL is not provided (though implied), and the exact contract start date is missing, these are minor practical inconveniences.

Direct document URL not explicitly provided.
Contract start date not specified.
Data Consistency70/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical. However, the 'Liable Person' field is empty, and the 'Type' and 'Procedure' codes are missing. There's also a contradiction between the 'E-Procurement' characteristic and the automated check's 'No e-submission' flag.

Empty 'Liable Person' field.
Empty codes for 'Type' and 'Procedure'.
Sustainability50/100

The tender mentions 'community benefits' in the OCDS package summary, indicating some social consideration. However, there is no explicit focus on green procurement, environmental aspects, or innovation.

No explicit green procurement criteria.
No explicit innovation focus.
