Tender Quality Score

This tender for cleaning materials supply demonstrates good basic information and scope clarity but suffers from significant deficiencies in completeness, fairness, and sustainability, primarily due to missing evaluation criteria and lack of specific requirements.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly, and no disputes are noted. However, the absence of specific mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria, coupled with a missing reveal date, indicates potential gaps in full compliance with transparency and equal treatment principles for a tender of this scale.

Missing reveal date
No specific mandatory exclusion grounds provided
Clarity60/100

The description of the goods and services required is clear and detailed. However, the AI-extracted requirements are very generic, lacking specific metrics or standards. The explicit absence of evaluation criteria is a major flaw, making it difficult for potential bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Eligibility, technical, and financial requirements are generic and lack detail
Completeness65/100

Basic information such as title, organization, value, duration, and deadlines are provided. However, a critical document ('Lot L-1') failed to download, which is a significant gap. The tender also explicitly lacks evaluation criteria, and the AI-extracted requirements are sparse, suggesting overall incompleteness in detailed tender documentation.

Critical document 'Lot L-1' failed to download
No evaluation criteria specified
Fairness55/100

The failure to access a key document ('Lot L-1'), the explicit absence of evaluation criteria, and the lack of e-submission significantly undermine the fairness and transparency of the procurement process. While requirements are not explicitly tailored, their generic nature combined with missing evaluation criteria creates a high risk of subjective assessment.

Critical document 'Lot L-1' failed to download, limiting full document access
No evaluation criteria specified, leading to lack of transparency in assessment
Practicality65/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the absence of electronic submission ('No e-submission' flagged) is a significant practical drawback for bidders. The failure to download a key document also poses a practical challenge for interested parties.

No electronic submission supported
Failure to download 'Lot L-1' document
Data Consistency80/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates (submission deadline, contract start, duration) are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor omissions include the 'Liable Person' field and specific codes for 'Type' and 'Procedure'.

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

The tender explicitly lacks any focus on green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. This represents a significant missed opportunity to integrate sustainability considerations into a public procurement of this scale and duration.

Not green procurement
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear description of goods and services required
Estimated value disclosed and procedure type defined
CPV code provided and NUTS code specified
Contract duration and start date clearly specified
No reported disputes or suspensions

Concerns

Absence of clear and objective evaluation criteria
Generic and non-specific eligibility, technical, and financial requirements
Failure to download a critical tender document ('Lot L-1')
Lack of electronic submission capability
Complete absence of sustainability (green, social, innovation) considerations

Recommendations

1. Mandate the inclusion of clear, objective, and measurable evaluation criteria to ensure transparency and fairness.
2. Provide specific and measurable eligibility, technical, and financial selection criteria to properly vet suppliers.
3. Ensure all tender documents are fully accessible and downloadable to all potential bidders.
