Tender Quality Score

This tender provides clear service requirements and essential logistical details but suffers from a critical lack of specified evaluation criteria, significantly impacting clarity, completeness, and fairness. While basic legal compliance and data consistency are good, there is no explicit focus on sustainability or innovation.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance80/100

The procedure type and CPV codes are clearly defined and appropriate. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Mandatory exclusion grounds are mentioned as a requirement type, indicating awareness of legal obligations, though not detailed in the summary.

Clarity60/100

The service description is clear and unambiguous. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria is a major drawback, making it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be judged. Requirements are also presented at a high level.

Missing evaluation criteria
High-level requirements lacking detailed specifications
Completeness65/100

Most basic information, including title, organization, value, duration, and key dates, is provided. Documents are attached and summarized. However, the explicit lack of evaluation criteria is a significant gap in the tender documentation.

Missing evaluation criteria
Fairness55/100

Full document access and value disclosure contribute positively to fairness. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria severely compromises transparency and objectivity, potentially leading to subjective assessment of bids. E-procurement via 'The Chest' supports equal access.

Missing evaluation criteria, impacting transparency and objectivity
Practicality80/100

Electronic submission is supported via 'The Chest' portal. The contract start date and duration are clearly specified, aiding practical planning for potential providers. Financing information (estimated value) is available.

Data Consistency85/100

Key fields are mostly populated, and dates are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include missing codes for 'Type' and 'Procedure' and an empty 'Liable Person' field.
