Tender Quality Score

This tender is critically incomplete due to the complete absence of tender documents, including the crucial Specification Schedule and Submission section, rendering it impossible for potential suppliers to prepare a compliant bid. While the description outlines the service scope, the lack of detailed requirements, evaluation criteria, and terms makes a quality assessment challenging.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance100/100

The tender mentions mandatory exclusion grounds, implying adherence to basic legal frameworks. However, the absence of full tender documents makes it impossible to verify compliance with all procurement regulations, especially regarding transparency and equal treatment.

•No tender documents provided, making it impossible to verify full legal compliance.
Clarity40/100

The general description of services required is reasonably clear. However, the complete absence of detailed specifications, terms, and conditions in any attached documents severely undermines overall clarity for potential bidders.

•Critical lack of clarity due to missing tender documents (Specification Schedule, Submission section).
Completeness83/100

This tender is critically incomplete. The explicit reference to a 'Specification Schedule' and 'Submission' section, neither of which are provided, means essential information for bidding is entirely absent.

•No tender documents attached.
•Missing Specification Schedule and Submission section.
Fairness60/100

While the procedure is 'Open,' the complete lack of detailed requirements, evaluation criteria, and terms in any accessible document creates an inherently unfair bidding environment. Suppliers cannot understand what is expected or how they will be judged.

•Absence of evaluation criteria and detailed requirements makes fair competition impossible.
Practicality40/100

The tender is impractical for suppliers to respond to. Without any documents detailing the specification, submission process, or evaluation criteria, it is impossible to prepare a compliant and competitive bid.

•Impractical for suppliers to respond due to missing essential tender documents.
Data Consistency100/100

The provided basic information is consistent. However, the description refers to documents (Specification Schedule, Submission section) that are not present, creating a significant inconsistency between the tender's stated content and its actual availability.

•References to non-existent documents (Specification Schedule, Submission section).
Sustainability25/100

There is no mention of green procurement, social criteria, or any other sustainability considerations within the provided information. The 'Innovation Focus' characteristic is also not elaborated upon in terms of sustainability.

•No sustainability criteria or requirements mentioned.
