Tender Quality Score

This tender for Home to School Transport Bus Service is generally well-structured, with clear descriptions and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks specific details on evaluation criteria and submission requirements, and does not explicitly address sustainability aspects.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to basic legal requirements with a clear CPV code and a defined procedure. Deadlines appear reasonable given the contract duration. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria could be a minor legal compliance issue in some jurisdictions, and the 'active' status without a reveal date is unusual.

Missing reveal date
No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity80/100

The description of the service is clear and detailed, specifying the target age group, needs, and geographical area. Eligibility and technical capability requirements are also well-defined.

Completeness70/100

Most essential information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, contract duration, and start date. However, the lack of content in the tender documents and missing submission requirements detract from its completeness.

No document content available
No specific submission requirements listed
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open procedure, and the requirements are generally objective and focused on service delivery. The estimated value is disclosed, and the criteria appear to be standard for this type of service, promoting fair competition.

Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration. However, the lack of information regarding e-submission, document URLs, and financing details reduces its practicality for potential bidders.

No e-submission specified
No document URLs provided
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated logically. There are no reported disputes or suspensions, indicating good data consistency.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, innovation, or EU funding, which are common elements in modern tenders. This suggests a lack of focus on these areas.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
