Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear project description but suffers from significant deficiencies in transparency and completeness, notably the absence of detailed evaluation criteria and specific financial requirements in the provided summary. The lack of e-submission and explicit sustainability considerations also detract from its overall quality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The procedure type and CPV code are correctly defined, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. However, the 'Liable Person' field is missing, and the provided summary notes that bidders should refer to full documents for mandatory exclusion grounds, indicating a slight lack of detail in the summary itself.

Missing 'Liable Person'
Mandatory exclusion grounds not detailed in provided summary
Clarity60/100

The project description, phases (RIBA 2-3, 4-6), and performance-based break clause are clearly articulated. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria is a major flaw, making it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed. AI-extracted requirements are clear but not comprehensive regarding financial details.

Missing evaluation criteria
Financial requirements not detailed in provided summary
Completeness55/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, duration, and start date are provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the explicit absence of evaluation criteria and detailed financial requirements in the provided summary. Additionally, one of the listed documents failed to download, impacting full access to information.

Missing evaluation criteria
Financial requirements not detailed in provided summary
Fairness50/100

The lack of specified evaluation criteria significantly impacts the transparency and fairness of the procurement process, as bidders cannot objectively prepare their submissions. The absence of e-submission also presents a barrier to equal access and efficiency. While requirements appear generic for the specialized field, the missing evaluation criteria are a major concern.

Missing evaluation criteria
No e-submission support
Practicality60/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified, which is practical for planning. However, the lack of electronic submission support is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement. Financing information is limited to an estimated value and funding source, without further detail.

No e-submission support
Limited detailed financing information
Data Consistency80/100

Key dates, including submission, contract start, and phase durations, are logical and consistent with the overall contract duration. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include missing codes for 'Type' and 'Procedure' and the 'Liable Person' field being unpopulated.

Missing codes for 'Type' and 'Procedure'
Missing 'Liable Person'
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not explicitly incorporate any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. This indicates a missed opportunity to integrate broader sustainability objectives into the project.

No green procurement focus
No social criteria
