Tender Quality Score

This tender presents significant deficiencies in clarity, completeness, and fairness due to missing evaluation criteria, inconsistent financial data, and an exceptionally long contract duration, hindering transparency and fair competition.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance55/100

The tender lacks explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, has inconsistent financial disclosures (EUR vs GBP, total vs annual, classified vs disclosed), and missing procedure/type codes. The irrelevant Document 1 summary also points to a severe documentation issue.

Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Inconsistent financial data (EUR vs GBP, total vs annual, classified vs disclosed)
Clarity45/100

While the service description is clear, the absence of evaluation criteria, detailed bidder requirements, and the highly ambiguous financial information significantly reduce clarity. The 601-month duration is also unclear in its implications.

No evaluation criteria specified
Inconsistent and ambiguous financial data
Completeness55/100

Basic information is present, but critical elements like evaluation criteria and detailed bidder requirements are missing. The irrelevant Document 1 summary indicates a failure in providing complete and correct documentation for analysis.

Missing evaluation criteria
No detailed bidder requirements
Fairness45/100

The absence of specified evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as is the contradictory and classified value information. The lack of e-submission may also limit equal access for all potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Inconsistent and classified value information
Practicality50/100

The lack of electronic submission is a practical drawback. The extremely long contract duration of 601 months is highly unusual and raises questions about its practical implementation and flexibility over time.

No e-submission option
Exceptionally long and potentially impractical contract duration (601 months)
Data Consistency35/100

There are significant inconsistencies in financial data (EUR vs GBP, total vs annual, classified vs disclosed), and the 601-month contract duration is highly unusual. The irrelevant Document 1 summary also points to severe data integrity issues.

Inconsistent financial data (EUR vs GBP, total vs annual)
Contradictory value classification ('Value Classified: Yes' vs disclosed value)
Sustainability25/100

The tender does not explicitly include any green, social, or innovation-focused procurement criteria, indicating a lack of emphasis on sustainability aspects.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No explicit social criteria

Strengths

Clear description of the core service required
Basic identification information (title, reference, organization) provided
Appropriate CPV code assigned
Direct link to further information available

Concerns

Absence of explicit evaluation criteria
Significant inconsistencies in financial information
Extremely long and unexplained contract duration
Lack of detailed bidder requirements and mandatory exclusion grounds
Irrelevant document summary in provided tender documents

Recommendations

2. Ensure all tender documents are relevant, complete, and detail all bidder requirements, including mandatory exclusion and selection criteria.
3. Clarify the rationale for the exceptionally long contract duration or correct it if it's a typo, and implement electronic submission to enhance accessibility.
