Tender Quality Score

This tender demonstrates a clear service description and transparent evaluation criteria but is significantly hampered by a critical missing document and a lack of electronic submission, impacting fairness and completeness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance65/100

Legal compliance is moderate due to a critical 'Page not found' error for a listed attachment, which could contain essential legal information. The AI summary also indicates a lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and eligibility requirements, which should be readily available.

Critical missing document (Attachment A-10529)
Lack of explicit mandatory exclusion/eligibility grounds in the provided summary
Clarity75/100

The tender's core service description and evaluation weighting (70% quality, 30% price) are clear. However, the AI-extracted requirements explicitly state that mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and performance conditions are not detailed in the summaries, reducing overall clarity for a quick overview.

Lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and performance conditions in the provided summary
Completeness60/100

While basic information, value, and duration are provided, the 'Page not found' error for Attachment A-10529 represents a critical gap in the tender documentation. Additionally, the AI summary indicates that mandatory exclusion grounds and eligibility requirements are not explicitly detailed.

Critical missing document (Attachment A-10529)
Lack of explicit mandatory exclusion/eligibility grounds and performance conditions in the provided summary
Fairness55/100

Fairness is significantly impacted by the inaccessible document ('Page not found'), which may contain crucial information for bidders. The absence of electronic submission, as flagged by automated checks, also creates an unnecessary barrier to equal access. However, the evaluation criteria are transparent, and requirements do not appear tailored.

Critical missing document (Attachment A-10529)
No electronic submission option
Practicality60/100

Practicality is reduced by the lack of electronic submission, which is a significant drawback in modern procurement. The 'Page not found' error for a document also creates practical difficulties for bidders. However, the contract start date and duration are clearly specified.

No electronic submission option
Critical missing document (Attachment A-10529)
Data Consistency70/100

Several inconsistencies are present, including 'Value Classified: Yes' contradicting the explicit 'Estimated Value: 50,000.00 EUR', and the 'ISSUES/FLAGS' stating 'No evaluation criteria specified' contradicting the AI-extracted 70/30 split. The 'Divided into Parts' characteristic is also unclear for this service.

Contradiction regarding value classification ('Value Classified: Yes' vs. disclosed value)
Contradiction regarding evaluation criteria ('No evaluation criteria specified' vs. 70% quality, 30% price)
Sustainability30/100

The tender does not explicitly incorporate green procurement, social criteria, or an explicit focus on innovation beyond the inherent nature of 'futures methodology.' This indicates a missed opportunity for broader impact.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No explicit social criteria
