Tender Quality Score

This tender presents a clear project description but suffers from significant deficiencies in clarity, completeness, and fairness due to missing evaluation criteria and an inaccessible main tender notice.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance70/100

The procedure type and CPV codes are clearly defined, and there are no disputes. However, the missing reveal date makes it impossible to confirm the reasonableness of the preparation period from initial publication, and the explicit mandatory exclusion grounds are not stated, which are minor compliance gaps.

Missing reveal date
No specific mandatory exclusion grounds explicitly stated
Clarity50/100

While the project description is clear and unambiguous, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria and the minimal, unspecific AI-extracted requirements severely hinder the clarity for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
AI-extracted requirements are not comprehensive
Completeness55/100

Basic information like title, organization, value, and duration is present. However, the tender is incomplete due to the absence of evaluation criteria, explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, and the failure to download the critical 'Tender Notice' document.

Missing evaluation criteria
No specific mandatory exclusion grounds explicitly stated
Fairness50/100

The lack of specified evaluation criteria significantly compromises the objectivity and transparency of the tender process. Additionally, the failed download of the main 'Tender Notice' document restricts full access to information, impacting equal opportunity for bidders. The missing reveal date also raises concerns about adequate preparation time.

Missing evaluation criteria
'Tender Notice' document download failed
Practicality85/100

The tender supports electronic submission via eTenderWales, specifies the contract start date and duration, and provides estimated financing information. The main practical elements are well-covered, though a direct document URL was not explicitly provided in the data.

Document URL not explicitly provided (minor)
Data Consistency75/100

The tender generally exhibits good data consistency with logical dates and no disputes. However, some key fields like 'Liable Person,' 'Type Code,' and 'Procedure Code' are empty, and there's a minor discrepancy between the EUR and GBP estimated values. There's also a contradiction regarding e-submission between the automated check and document summary.

Empty 'Liable Person' field
Empty 'Type Code' and 'Procedure Code'
Sustainability20/100

The tender documentation makes no explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU-funded, suggesting a lack of emphasis on broader sustainability objectives.

No green procurement focus
No social criteria
