Tender Quality Score

This tender offers a generally well-structured procurement process with clear objectives and a defined value. However, it lacks explicit evaluation criteria and detailed technical requirements, which could impact bid quality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to standard open procedure principles. CPV codes are appropriate for health services. While deadlines are provided, their reasonableness isn't fully assessable without knowing the complexity of the submission requirements. The process appears compliant with general procurement regulations.

Clarity80/100

The description of the LTBI screening programme's objectives and the services required (Testing Service and Diagnostics Analysis Service) is clear. The target geographical areas are specified. However, the absence of detailed evaluation criteria and specific technical capability requirements hinders complete clarity for bidders.

Missing evaluation criteria
Lack of detailed technical capability requirements
Completeness70/100

Key information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, contract duration, and submission deadline are present. However, the AI-extracted requirements indicate that specific mandatory exclusion grounds and detailed technical capability requirements are not specified. Furthermore, the number of tender documents is noted, but their content is not available, impacting the assessment of completeness for potential bidders.

No specific mandatory exclusion grounds detailed
No specific technical capability requirements detailed
Fairness85/100

The tender uses an e-procurement portal (Atamis) for expressing interest and submissions, promoting accessibility. The estimated value is disclosed, and the procedure is an open one, suggesting a fair competitive process. There are no immediately apparent requirements tailored to specific companies. The primary concern regarding fairness relates to the lack of specified evaluation criteria, which could lead to subjective assessments.

Missing evaluation criteria
Practicality65/100

The tender utilizes an e-procurement portal for submissions, which is practical. The contract start date is indicated as October 2026, and financing information is provided through the estimated value. However, the AI notes potential issues regarding the deadline possibly being too short relative to the implied complexity, and the lack of available tender document content hinders practical bid preparation.

Deadline may be too short (assessment requires further context)
No e-submission (contrary to some AI notes, but portal exists)
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference number, organization, estimated value, and submission deadline are populated. The contract duration is clearly stated. The contract start date is provided. There are no indications of suspension or disputes. The dates provided (submission deadline, contract start) are logically ordered.

Sustainability50/100

The tender document does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, innovation, or EU funding requirements. This suggests a moderate approach to sustainability considerations within this specific procurement.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
