Tender Quality Score

This tender for audit services is well-structured and comprehensive in its documentation, but raises significant concerns regarding fairness due to highly restrictive qualification requirements that may limit competition.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance85/100

The tender defines the procedure type (simplified, LM) and CPV codes correctly. Deadlines are reasonable, and there are no detected disputes or suspensions. The tender appears to comply with national procurement regulations for its value and scope.

Clarity80/100

The description of the service and the contract duration, including renewal options, is clear. Evaluation criteria are explicitly stated as 100% price-based. AI-extracted requirements and supporting documents provide good detail, though performance conditions are generally referenced to the full documents.

Completeness90/100

All essential basic information, financial details, timeline, and location are provided. The tender includes 11 documents with summaries, comprehensively defining requirements, qualification conditions, and evaluation criteria.

Fairness40/100

While the estimated value is disclosed and e-procurement is enabled, several requirements are overly restrictive. The demand for the signatory to hold a 'public sector sworn auditor qualification' and to have audited 'at least one state-owned company within the last 60 months' is highly specific. Additionally, high financial thresholds for reference contracts (5M EUR sales revenue, 3.5M EUR assets) for a 150,000 EUR simplified procedure may disproportionately limit competition.

Highly specific qualification requirement for the sworn auditor signatory (public sector qualification, experience with state-owned companies).
High financial thresholds for reference contracts (audited company's sales revenue and assets) relative to the tender's estimated value.
Practicality65/100

Electronic submission and e-procurement are supported, enhancing practicality. The contract duration is clearly specified. However, the exact contract start date is not explicitly stated, and financing conditions beyond the estimated value are generic.

Lack of explicit contract start date.
Generic financing condition statement.
Data Consistency85/100

Most key fields are populated consistently, and dates are logical. The contract duration (60 months) aligns with the initial and renewal periods described. A minor inconsistency exists with 'Value Classified: Yes' alongside a disclosed estimated value, but the estimate itself is provided.

Minor inconsistency: 'Value Classified: Yes' while an estimated value is provided.
Sustainability20/100

The tender explicitly lacks any green procurement, social criteria, or innovation focus. It is also not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.

Absence of green procurement criteria.
Absence of social criteria.

Strengths

Comprehensive documentation and clear structure.
Transparent evaluation criteria (100% price-based).
Electronic submission and e-procurement enabled.
Clear definition of contract duration and renewal options.
No detected disputes or suspensions.

Concerns

Overly restrictive qualification requirements for the sworn auditor signatory.
High financial thresholds for reference contracts, potentially limiting competition.
Lack of any sustainability (green, social, innovation) criteria.
Generic financing condition statement.

Recommendations

1. Review and potentially revise qualification requirements to ensure they are proportionate and do not unduly restrict competition, while still ensuring competence.
2. Consider integrating relevant sustainability criteria (e.g., environmental impact of operations, social responsibility) into future tenders.
3. Provide more specific details regarding the contract start date and financing conditions to enhance clarity for bidders.
