Tender Quality Score

This tender presents a clear project description and evaluation criteria but is significantly hampered by critical errors such as the inclusion of an irrelevant document and the lack of e-submission, which collectively reduce its overall quality and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance60/100

The tender correctly defines the procedure type and CPV codes, and the submission period is reasonable (31 days). However, the inclusion of a completely irrelevant contract award notice (Document 1) is a significant legal and administrative error. The absence of explicitly stated mandatory exclusion grounds is also a compliance gap.

Irrelevant document included (Document 1)
Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds
Clarity70/100

The project description and AI-extracted requirements are generally clear, and evaluation criteria (40% cost, 60% quality) are specified. However, the presence of an irrelevant document (Document 1) severely impacts overall clarity. There is also a currency inconsistency (EUR vs GBP for value) and a slight vagueness in how financial capability should be demonstrated.

Irrelevant document included (Document 1)
Currency inconsistency (EUR vs GBP)
Completeness55/100

Basic information, deadlines, value, duration, and location are provided. Requirements and evaluation criteria are also outlined. However, the inclusion of an entirely irrelevant document (Document 1) fundamentally compromises the completeness and integrity of the tender package. The 'Liable Person' field is also missing.

Irrelevant document included (Document 1)
Missing 'Liable Person'
Fairness60/100

The submission deadline is reasonable, evaluation criteria are transparent, and requirements do not appear tailored. However, the automated check indicates 'No e-submission,' which is a significant barrier to equal access and fairness in modern procurement. The irrelevant document also creates an unfair disadvantage by providing misleading information.

No e-submission
Irrelevant document included (Document 1)
Practicality55/100

Contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the lack of electronic submission is a major practical drawback. The inclusion of an irrelevant document makes navigating the tender package confusing and impractical. A direct document URL is not explicitly provided in the summary.

No e-submission
Irrelevant document included (Document 1)
Data Consistency50/100

The tender lacks a 'Liable Person' and exhibits a critical inconsistency in the estimated value's currency (EUR in basic info, GBP in AI-extracted and Document 2). The 'Value Classified: Yes' contradicts the explicit disclosure of the value. The inclusion of an irrelevant document also points to poor data management.

Missing 'Liable Person'
Currency inconsistency (EUR vs GBP)
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not include any specific criteria or focus on green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. It is also not indicated as EU funded, which often implies higher sustainability standards.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria
