Tender Quality Score

This tender exhibits significant deficiencies in legal compliance, completeness, and data consistency due to critical missing information and the inclusion of an incorrect primary document, despite clear service descriptions.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance50/100

The tender correctly identifies the procedure type and CPV codes, and there are no disputes. However, the absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and evaluation criteria represents significant non-compliance. Critically, the document labeled 'Tender Notice' is an award notice for an unrelated tender, indicating a severe failure in fundamental legal disclosure for this procurement.

Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing evaluation criteria
Clarity65/100

The description of required services is clear and unambiguous, and the AI-extracted eligibility, technical, and submission requirements are understandable. However, the overall clarity for potential bidders is significantly hampered by the absence of specified evaluation criteria, mandatory exclusion grounds, and explicit financial stability requirements.

Missing evaluation criteria
Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Completeness45/100

While basic information like title, value, duration, and location is present, the tender package suffers from critical omissions. Key requirements such as mandatory exclusion grounds, financial stability criteria, and evaluation criteria are undefined. Most notably, the document labeled 'Tender Notice' is an award notice for an unrelated tender, implying the actual tender notice for this procurement is missing or misidentified. The reveal date is also absent.

Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing financial requirements
Fairness60/100

The service requirements appear generic and not tailored, and the estimated value is disclosed. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria severely compromises transparency and fairness, as bidders cannot understand the basis for award decisions. The lack of electronic submission capabilities also creates a barrier to equal access and convenience.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission
Practicality60/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified, aiding practical planning. However, the absence of electronic submission support is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for bidders and the contracting authority.

No e-submission
Data Consistency35/100

Core structured data fields are largely consistent, and dates are logical. However, minor fields like 'Liable Person' and procedure codes are empty, and the reveal date is missing. The most severe data consistency issue is the inclusion of an incorrect 'Tender Notice' document, which is entirely unrelated to this tender, indicating a fundamental error in the tender's data package.

Incorrect 'Tender Notice' document (unrelated award notice)
Empty 'Liable Person' and procedure codes
Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly incorporate any green procurement criteria, social aspects, or an innovation focus. While not uncommon, this represents a missed opportunity to leverage public procurement for broader sustainability objectives. It is also not EU funded.

No green procurement
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear description of required services and scope
Estimated value, contract duration, and start date are specified
CPV codes and NUTS code are correctly assigned
Requirements for eligibility, technical capability, and submission are clearly articulated (what is present)
No disputes or suspensions

Concerns

Critical missing legal requirements (mandatory exclusion grounds, evaluation criteria)
Inclusion of an incorrect 'Tender Notice' document, indicating a severe data integrity issue
Absence of electronic submission capabilities
Lack of explicit financial stability requirements
No integration of green, social, or innovation sustainability criteria

Recommendations

1. Immediately rectify the documentation by providing the correct and complete Tender Notice and all associated legal documents.
2. Clearly define and publish all evaluation criteria and mandatory exclusion grounds to ensure transparency and legal compliance.
3. Implement electronic submission for future tenders to enhance fairness, accessibility, and efficiency.
