Tender Quality Score

This tender for a Private Oncology Service Concession presents a well-defined opportunity with a clear objective and estimated value. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on submission procedures, impacting overall transparency and accessibility.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with general procurement regulations, including a clear CPV code and a competitive flexible procedure. Deadlines are provided, though the submission deadline might be considered tight given the complexity of the opportunity. No disputes are reported.

Clarity80/100

The description of the service required is clear, outlining the need for a dedicated oncology treatment provider to occupy existing linac bunkers and potentially develop adjacent land. Eligibility and technical capability requirements are reasonably specified. However, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria is a significant clarity issue.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration. The contract start date is also specified. However, the lack of content or summaries for the tender documents is a notable omission, hindering a full assessment of completeness.

No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender is open and uses a competitive procedure, suggesting a fair process. The value is disclosed, and the criteria, while not fully detailed, seem objective in their intent (occupying bunkers, providing services). The preliminary market engagement is a positive step towards fairness. The lack of specific evaluation criteria could be a concern for bidders.

Practicality65/100

The tender specifies an estimated value, contract duration, and start date, along with financing information implied by the value. However, the lack of explicit mention of e-submission and the absence of document content reduce practicality for potential bidders.

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

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated logically. The contract start date is after the submission deadline, which is correct. No suspensions or disputes are indicated.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU funded, which limits the sustainability score.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
