Tender Quality Score

This is a clear preliminary market engagement notice for fresh fish supply, effectively seeking market capabilities, though it exhibits some data completeness and transparency issues regarding estimated value and formal procedure classification.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance80/100

The notice is compliant with the purpose of market engagement, providing reasonable timelines and correct CPV codes. While formal 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields are unpopulated, the content clearly defines its non-binding market consultation nature.

Formal 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields are marked as 'None'.
Clarity90/100

The purpose of seeking market engagement for fresh fish supply is exceptionally clear and unambiguous. Requirements for participation are well-defined and appropriate for a preliminary market consultation, with the absence of evaluation criteria being expected at this stage.

Completeness70/100

Basic information, deadlines, and duration are provided. However, the estimated value is not disclosed, and the formal 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields are unpopulated, which reduces the overall completeness of the structured data.

Estimated value not disclosed
'Type' and 'Procedure' fields are 'None'
Fairness75/100

Full document access is provided, e-procurement is enabled, and the requirements are generic, ensuring equal access. However, the classification of the estimated value reduces transparency, which can hinder suppliers in assessing the potential scale of the opportunity.

Estimated value is classified/not disclosed
Practicality70/100

Electronic submission is supported, and the contract start date and duration are clearly specified, which aids practical planning. The lack of disclosed estimated value, however, can make it challenging for suppliers to gauge the commercial viability and resource allocation required for this potential future contract.

Estimated value not disclosed
Data Consistency60/100

While dates are logical and there are no disputes, several key fields such as 'Type,' 'Procedure,' 'Liable Person,' and 'Estimated Value' are either unpopulated or marked as 'None,' indicating notable inconsistencies in the structured data.

'Type', 'Procedure', 'Liable Person' are empty/None
Estimated Value not disclosed
Sustainability30/100

The notice does not include any explicit criteria or focus on green procurement, social aspects, or innovation, nor is it indicated as EU-funded. This represents a missed opportunity to integrate sustainability considerations.

No explicit sustainability, social, or innovation criteria

Strengths

Clear purpose as a market engagement notice
Electronic submission via eTendersNI platform
Generic and non-tailored requirements
Reasonable timeline for market engagement
All relevant documents are available

Concerns

Estimated value is classified and not disclosed
Formal 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields are unpopulated ('None')
No explicit sustainability, social, or innovation criteria
'Liable Person' field is empty

Recommendations

1. Disclose an estimated value range, even for market engagement, to improve transparency and help suppliers assess the opportunity.
2. Populate formal 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields with appropriate classifications for market engagement notices.
3. Consider integrating sustainability, social, or innovation criteria into future procurement processes.
