Tender Quality Score

This market engagement notice is clear and comprehensive for its planning stage, demonstrating good transparency regarding the upcoming procurement, though it lacks modern e-submission capabilities and explicit sustainability criteria.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The notice correctly identifies itself as a 'Market Engagement' in the 'planning' status, which means formal tender procedure rules are not yet fully applicable. This approach is compliant with pre-procurement activities. CPV codes are appropriate, and no disputes are noted.

Clarity85/100

The description of the market engagement and its purpose is very clear and unambiguous. Requirements for participation are simple and appropriate for this preliminary stage, with no formal evaluation criteria expected or specified.

Completeness80/100

All essential information for a market engagement notice is provided, including title, organization, reference, estimated value, duration, deadlines, CPV, NUTS code, and available documents. Requirements for participation in the market engagement are clearly defined.

Fairness70/100

The requirements are generic and encourage SMEs, promoting broad and fair participation. The estimated value is disclosed. However, the absence of electronic submission (e-submission) is a significant drawback for equal access and transparency in modern procurement.

No e-submission supported
Practicality60/100

Key practical details such as contract duration, estimated start date, and financial information are provided. However, the lack of e-submission is a notable practical deficiency for a modern procurement process, even at the market engagement stage.

No e-submission supported
Data Consistency90/100

The data provided is largely consistent and logical across all fields. The status as 'planning' and 'Market Engagement' aligns with the absence of a formal procedure type. Minor omissions like 'Liable Person' do not significantly impact consistency.

Sustainability30/100

The notice does not explicitly include green procurement, social criteria (beyond encouraging SMEs), or innovation focus. This represents a missed opportunity to integrate broader sustainability goals into the procurement process.

Not green procurement
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear identification as a market engagement in the planning stage.
Transparent disclosure of estimated value and contract duration.
Generic and open eligibility requirements, actively encouraging SMEs.
Comprehensive basic information and availability of supporting documents.
Consistent data and logical timelines for the pre-tender phase.

Concerns

Absence of electronic submission (e-submission) for supplier engagement.
Lack of explicit sustainability (environmental, social, innovation) criteria.
Formal procedure type is listed as 'None', though consistent with market engagement status.
The 'Liable Person' field is empty.

Recommendations

1. Implement an e-submission platform for future procurement stages to enhance fairness, accessibility, and practicality.
2. Integrate explicit sustainability criteria (environmental, social, innovation) into the subsequent formal tender documentation.
3. Ensure all administrative fields, such as 'Liable Person', are populated for complete transparency in future notices.
