Tender Quality Score

This tender presents a clear objective for establishing a procurement framework but suffers from significant gaps in critical information, particularly the absence of evaluation criteria, which severely impacts fairness and clarity for potential bidders.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes appropriately, and there are no reported disputes. However, the absence of a reveal date and specific mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided summary indicates minor transparency shortcomings.

Missing reveal date
No specific mandatory exclusion grounds detailed in summary
Clarity60/100

While the tender's description and AI-extracted requirements are generally clear, the critical omission of evaluation criteria makes it difficult for suppliers to understand how their bids will be assessed, significantly reducing clarity.

Missing evaluation criteria
No specific financial requirements detailed in summary
Completeness65/100

Basic tender information is present, but the provided summaries lack specific financial requirements, detailed mandatory exclusion grounds, and, most importantly, evaluation criteria, making the documentation incomplete for comprehensive bid preparation.

Missing evaluation criteria
No specific financial requirements detailed in summary
Fairness40/100

The tender discloses its estimated value and its requirements appear generic. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as it introduces subjectivity into the selection process. The automated check indicating no e-submission, despite a platform login page, also raises fairness questions regarding equal access.

Missing evaluation criteria
No e-submission (as per automated check)
Practicality55/100

Key practical details like contract duration and start date are clearly specified. However, the lack of explicit confirmation for electronic submission and a direct document URL, coupled with the automated check indicating no e-submission, reduces the practicality for potential bidders.

No e-submission (as per automated check)
No explicit document URL provided
Data Consistency85/100

The core data fields are largely consistent and logical, with no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include empty fields for 'Liable Person' and specific procedure codes.

Liable Person field is empty
Type (Code) and Procedure (Code) fields are empty
Sustainability30/100

The tender lacks any explicit mention of green, social, or innovation criteria, indicating a missed opportunity to integrate sustainability principles into the procurement process.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
