Tender Quality Score

This tender for Children's Advocacy and Independent Visiting Services is generally well-structured, with clear objectives and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on e-submission, impacting its overall practicality and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to basic legal requirements with a clear procedure (open competition below threshold) and a proper CPV code. Deadlines appear reasonable for the scope. No disputes are reported. The primary concern is the missing reveal date, which is a minor procedural oversight.

Missing reveal date
Clarity80/100

The description of services required is clear and specific, outlining the target beneficiaries and the nature of the advocacy and visiting services. The AI-extracted requirements, while brief, capture the essence of what is needed. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria leaves some ambiguity on how proposals will be judged.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration. The contract start date is also provided. However, the lack of content in the tender documents is a significant gap, preventing a full assessment of completeness.

No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open competition, promoting fairness. The estimated value is disclosed, and the criteria for eligibility are general ('suitably qualified and experienced'). The lack of specific evaluation criteria could be perceived as a minor fairness concern, but the open nature of the competition mitigates this. The absence of explicit e-procurement details is a drawback.

Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration, and the estimated value is clear. However, the absence of information regarding e-submission and the lack of accessible document content significantly hinder practicality for potential bidders.

No e-submission specified
No document content available
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated logically. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates provided for the contract start and submission deadline are consistent with the contract duration.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU funded. This suggests a lack of emphasis on sustainability criteria.

No social criteria
