Tender Quality Score

Overall, this tender notice is clear on its core requirement and basic information, but significant gaps in evaluation criteria and detailed qualification requirements reduce its quality and transparency for potential bidders.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes appropriately. While basic disclosure requirements are met, the summary lacks specific details on mandatory exclusion and eligibility grounds, and the procedure codes are missing, which are minor compliance gaps for the provided summary.

Missing codes for 'Type' and 'Procedure'
Summary lacks detail on mandatory exclusion/eligibility grounds
Clarity60/100

The description of the required goods (3 chillers of 850kW) is clear. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria and detailed mandatory exclusion/eligibility requirements in the summary significantly diminishes overall clarity for bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Mandatory exclusion/eligibility grounds not detailed in summary
Completeness65/100

Basic information such as title, organization, value, and deadlines are provided. However, the summary is incomplete regarding critical details like mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and especially evaluation criteria, which are essential for a comprehensive tender overview.

Missing detailed mandatory exclusion grounds in summary
Missing detailed eligibility requirements in summary
Fairness40/100

The most significant concern for fairness is the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria. This lack of transparency makes it impossible for bidders to understand how their proposals will be judged, compromising the objectivity and fairness of the procurement process.

No evaluation criteria specified, compromising transparency and objectivity
Practicality70/100

Electronic submission via the Atamis eSourcing Platform is supported, which is a positive aspect. The contract start date and duration are clear. However, a direct URL to the full tender documents is not provided in the summary, requiring bidders to navigate to the platform manually.

No direct document URL provided in the summary
Data Consistency90/100

The tender information is largely consistent across the provided fields, with logical dates and no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include the missing 'Liable Person' and codes for 'Type' and 'Procedure'.

Missing 'Liable Person'
Missing codes for 'Type' and 'Procedure'
Sustainability20/100

There is no mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus within the provided tender information. This indicates a missed opportunity to integrate sustainability considerations into the procurement process.
