Tender Quality Score

This tender for car park management services presents significant deficiencies in completeness, clarity, and fairness due to the absence of critical information such as evaluation criteria, eligibility requirements, and a clear reveal date, despite a clear service description and innovation focus.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance50/100

The tender lacks specified mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and financial requirements, which are crucial for a 'Restricted' procedure. The missing tender reveal date also prevents assessment of the reasonableness of the preparation period, indicating procedural compliance gaps.

Missing tender reveal date
No specific mandatory exclusion grounds detailed
Clarity50/100

While the service description and technical requirements are clear and unambiguous, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly reduces overall clarity for bidders, making it difficult to understand how proposals will be judged.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness45/100

Basic information, value, and duration are present. However, the tender is critically incomplete due to the absence of evaluation criteria, mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and financial requirements, which are fundamental for a comprehensive bid.

No evaluation criteria specified
No specific mandatory exclusion grounds detailed
Fairness40/100

The lack of specified evaluation criteria and the missing tender reveal date severely undermine transparency and fairness. The absence of e-submission also presents a barrier to equal access for all potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Missing tender reveal date
Practicality65/100

The absence of electronic submission (e-submission) is a notable practical drawback in modern procurement. However, the contract start date, duration, and estimated value are clearly specified, which aids practical planning.

No e-submission
Data Consistency40/100

There is a significant inconsistency with the submission deadline and contract start date being identical. Furthermore, the AI-extracted submission deadline slightly differs, and several key fields like 'Liable Person' and procedure codes are unpopulated.

Submission deadline and contract start date are identical
Discrepancy between stated submission deadline and AI-extracted deadline
Sustainability55/100

The tender explicitly includes a focus on innovation, which is a positive aspect for sustainability. However, it lacks any explicit green procurement or social criteria, limiting its overall sustainability scope.

Not green procurement
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear description of required services (ANPR, foot patrols, permit system)
Explicit focus on innovation
Value and contract duration are clearly specified
CPV code is appropriately assigned

Concerns
