Tender Quality Score

This tender for Kingsway Tunnel Embankment Stabilisation is generally well-described with clear technical requirements and good data consistency, but critically lacks specified evaluation criteria, significantly impacting clarity, completeness, and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance70/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes appropriately, and there are no reported disputes. However, the reveal date is missing, the 'Liable Person' field is empty, and the absence of evaluation criteria represents a gap in mandatory disclosure requirements.

Missing reveal date
Empty 'Liable Person' field
Clarity65/100

The description of the scope of work and the AI-extracted technical requirements are clear and unambiguous. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria makes it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed, significantly reducing overall clarity for the procurement process.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness65/100

Most basic information, including title, reference, organization, deadlines, value, duration, and location, is provided. Documents are also listed. Nevertheless, the tender is incomplete due to the missing evaluation criteria, the empty 'Liable Person' field, and missing codes for the procedure type.

No evaluation criteria specified
Empty 'Liable Person' field
Fairness50/100

Document access via the portal, disclosed value, reasonable submission time (from today's date), and e-procurement support contribute positively to fairness. However, the complete lack of specified evaluation criteria is a major concern, as it introduces subjectivity and reduces transparency in the award process, making it inherently less fair for bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality85/100

The tender supports electronic submission, clearly states the contract start date and duration, and provides an estimated value. The overall process appears practical for bidders, despite the absence of a direct document URL in the provided summary.

No direct document URL provided in summary
Data Consistency75/100

Key dates are logical and consistent, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. However, the 'Liable Person' field is empty, and the procedure type codes are missing, indicating minor data gaps and inconsistencies.

Empty 'Liable Person' field
Missing procedure type codes
