Tender Quality Score

This tender for building condition surveys is generally well-structured, with clear objectives and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks explicit evaluation criteria and details on e-submission, impacting practicality and potentially fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with basic legal requirements, including a clear CPV code and a defined procedure for below-threshold open competition. Deadlines are provided, though the submission deadline might be considered tight given the scope. No disputes are indicated. Regulatory compliance is implied through the nature of the service sought.

Clarity80/100

The description of the required services is clear, outlining the purpose and scope of the building and M&E condition surveys. The AI-extracted requirements further detail the expected capabilities. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria leaves some ambiguity on how bids will be assessed.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration. The submission deadline and contract start date are specified. However, the lack of accessible tender pack content or summaries for the four listed documents is a significant omission.

No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender is open competition, and the estimated value is disclosed. The criteria for eligibility and technical capability are outlined, suggesting an objective approach. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria could lead to perceived unfairness in the assessment process. The absence of explicit e-submission details also raises questions about accessibility.

Missing evaluation criteria
No e-submission
Practicality65/100
