Tender Quality Score

This tender presents a generally clear and fair procurement process with good legal compliance, but suffers from significant data inconsistencies regarding contract duration and practical hurdles due to missing document access information. Sustainability aspects are entirely absent.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes clearly, and the submission period of 27 days is reasonable for an open procedure. However, the absence of a clear reveal date is a minor administrative oversight.

Missing tender reveal date
Clarity80/100

The description of the service and the high-level evaluation criteria (70% price, 30% quality) are clear. Detailed requirements and scoring criteria are appropriately referred to Volume 3 of the ITT documents, which is standard practice.

Completeness65/100

Basic information, estimated value, and key dates are provided. However, the full specification and detailed criteria are externalized to Volume 3, and the provided data does not offer direct access to its content, limiting the completeness of the immediate tender information.

Full specification and detailed criteria not directly accessible in provided data
Inconsistency in contract duration description
Fairness80/100

The tender discloses the estimated value and supports electronic submission, promoting equal access. The evaluation criteria split is transparent, and requirements appear generic. Fairness largely depends on the accessibility of Volume 3 to all bidders.

Practicality60/100

Electronic submission is supported, and the contract start date is known. However, the absence of a direct URL or clear instructions for accessing the full tender documents (Volume 3) poses a significant practical barrier for potential bidders.

No direct URL or clear instructions for accessing full tender documents (Volume 3)
Data Consistency50/100

A major inconsistency exists between the stated '3 + 1 year contract' and the '37 months' contract duration, as 3+1 years typically equates to 48 months. This ambiguity requires clarification. Some minor fields like 'Liable Person' and procedure codes are also unpopulated.

Inconsistency between '3 + 1 year contract' and '37 months' duration
Missing 'Liable Person' and procedure codes
Sustainability20/100

The tender makes no mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. This indicates a complete lack of integration of sustainability considerations.

No green procurement criteria
No social aspects considered

Strengths

Clear procedure type and CPV code
Electronic submission supported via ProActis portal
Transparent evaluation criteria split (70% price, 30% quality)
Estimated value and key dates (submission, start) are specified
No disputes or suspensions reported

Concerns

Significant inconsistency in contract duration (3+1 years vs. 37 months)
Lack of direct URL or clear access instructions for full tender documents (Volume 3)
Absence of sustainability, social, or innovation criteria
Missing tender reveal date
Reliance on external documents for detailed requirements and criteria

Recommendations

1. Clarify the exact contract duration to resolve the '3+1 year' vs. '37 months' inconsistency.
2. Provide a direct URL or explicit instructions for accessing all tender documents, especially Volume 3.
3. Integrate sustainability, social, or innovation criteria into future procurement processes to align with modern best practices.
