Tender Quality Score

This tender for Christmas illuminations is generally well-structured with clear requirements, but lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on document content, impacting its overall practicality and completeness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with basic legal requirements, including a clear procedure (open competition below threshold) and a specified CPV code. Deadlines are provided, though their reasonableness is flagged as a potential issue. No disputes are indicated. The absence of a reveal date is a minor procedural oversight.

Missing reveal date
Clarity80/100

The description of services required (design, hire, supply, delivery, maintenance, storage) is clear. Eligibility and technical capability requirements are documented. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria means bidders cannot fully understand how their submissions will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration. However, the crucial aspect of document content is missing, preventing a full assessment of the tender's completeness. The contract start date is provided, but the duration is stated as 36 months plus extensions, which is slightly inconsistent with the '20 months' listed under Contract Duration.

No document content available
Inconsistent contract duration (36 months + extensions vs. 20 months)
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open competition, promoting fairness. The estimated value is disclosed, and criteria for eligibility and technical capability are outlined. The deadlines appear reasonable for an open competition. There is no indication of requirements tailored to specific companies.

Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a submission deadline and contract start date. However, the lack of information regarding e-submission and the absence of document content significantly reduce its practicality for potential bidders. Financing information is not explicitly detailed.

No e-submission indicated
No document content available
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and deadlines are populated. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Dates are logically presented, with the contract start date following the submission deadline. The only inconsistency is the contract duration.

Inconsistent contract duration (36 months + extensions vs. 20 months)
Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, innovation focus, or EU funding, which are common elements in modern tenders. This suggests a lack of emphasis on sustainability.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
