Tender Quality Score

This is a Pre-Market Engagement (PME) notice for street nameplates, seeking information to inform a future procurement. The documentation is generally clear and well-structured, though it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on the PME questionnaire itself.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The notice adheres to basic legal requirements by providing a reference number, organization, and CPV code. However, the absence of a reveal date and specific evaluation criteria for the PME questionnaire itself slightly impacts the score. Deadlines are present but the PME questionnaire deadline is not explicitly stated within this notice.

Missing reveal date
No evaluation criteria specified for PME questionnaire
Clarity80/100

The description of the PME's purpose and the expected scope of the future contract is clear. The requirements for suppliers to provide information are well-defined. However, the exact content and submission deadline for the PME questionnaire are not detailed here, requiring further action from potential participants.

PME questionnaire deadline not specified in notice
Specific content of PME questionnaire not detailed
Completeness70/100

Essential information such as the title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration are provided. The description outlines the scope of the future procurement. However, the PME questionnaire itself and its specific submission deadline are missing, which is a significant omission for a PME notice.

PME questionnaire document not attached or linked
Deadline for PME questionnaire return not specified
Fairness85/100

The PME is designed to gather information to ensure fair competition in the future procurement by updating specifications. The requirements are general and do not appear to be tailored to specific companies. Access to the PME questionnaire is via email request, which is a standard but not fully transparent method.

Practicality65/100

The notice specifies an email address for requesting the PME questionnaire, indicating a manual submission process for the PME itself. While the contract start date and duration are provided, the lack of direct access to the PME questionnaire document and its specific deadline reduces practicality for immediate engagement.

No direct URL for PME questionnaire
E-submission not specified for PME questionnaire
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and dates are populated logically. There are no indications of suspension or disputes. The contract start date is plausible relative to the submission deadline for the future procurement (implied).

Sustainability50/100

The notice does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU funded. This suggests a lack of emphasis on sustainability criteria in this PME stage.

No mention of green procurement
No mention of social aspects
