Tender Quality Score

This tender for hand and power tools is generally well-structured, with clear product descriptions and an established e-procurement platform. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on sustainability aspects.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender follows an open procedure and specifies a CPV code. Deadlines are provided, though the submission deadline might be considered tight given the contract start date. No disputes are noted. Regulatory compliance is assumed based on the procedure type.

Clarity80/100

The description of the required goods is clear, detailing the types of tools and consumables. The e-tendering system and registration process are well-explained. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria hinders full clarity on how bids will be assessed.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, organization, estimated value, and contract duration. The CPV code is provided. However, the content of the tender documents is not accessible, and specific financial requirements beyond the estimated value are not detailed.

No document content available
No specific financial requirements detailed
Fairness85/100

The use of an open procedure and an e-tendering portal promotes fairness. The estimated value is disclosed. Requirements are generally objective, focusing on the supply of goods. There are no apparent tailored requirements favouring specific companies.

Practicality65/100

The tender mandates e-submission via the In-tend portal, which is a standard practice. A URL for the portal is provided. The contract start date is specified. However, the lack of detailed financial requirements and the absence of document content limit the immediate practicality for potential bidders.
