Tender Quality Score

This tender for the supply and delivery of bulk fuels presents a clear procurement with a substantial estimated value and defined technical requirements. However, it lacks specific details on evaluation criteria and potential sustainability considerations, requiring further documentation for a comprehensive understanding.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to general regulatory compliance with a clear CPV code and a defined procedure type. The estimated value is substantial, and the organization is clearly identified. However, the absence of a 'reveal date' and specific mandatory exclusion/eligibility grounds, if not addressed in the referred PQQ/tender documents, could pose minor legal compliance concerns.

Clarity80/100

The description of the requirement for bulk fuels, including specific types, quantities, and delivery locations, is generally clear. The reference to PQQ/tender documents for precise details on lots and additional requirements is noted. The main area for improvement is the lack of specified evaluation criteria within the provided text.

Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, and submission deadline. The description clearly outlines the required quantities and types of fuel, along with delivery locations. The indicative contract commencement date is also provided. However, the actual content of the PQQ/tender documents is not available, which is a significant gap in completeness.

No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender appears fair, with a disclosed estimated value and the use of e-procurement. The procedure is a negotiated one with prior call for competition, which is a standard process. There are no explicit requirements tailored to specific companies. The division into parts suggests an intent to allow for broader participation.

Practicality65/100

The tender mentions 'E-Procurement' as a characteristic, suggesting online submission, but the 'Issues' section flags 'No e-submission', which is contradictory and needs clarification. The contract duration is not specified, and financing information is absent. The indicative contract start date is provided.

No e-submission (contradictory)
Missing contract duration
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and deadline are populated. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates provided (submission deadline and indicative commencement date) appear logical in sequence.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. This suggests a lack of explicit sustainability considerations within the initial tender notice. EU funding is not mentioned.

Not green procurement
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear description of fuel requirements and delivery locations
Substantial estimated value disclosed
Indicative contract commencement date provided
Divided into parts, potentially increasing competition

Concerns

Lack of available PQQ/tender document content
Missing evaluation criteria
Ambiguity regarding e-submission
Absence of sustainability criteria

Recommendations

1. Provide access to the full PQQ/tender documents with clear evaluation criteria.
2. Clarify the e-submission process and ensure it is fully functional.
3. Consider incorporating sustainability clauses into the tender documentation.
