Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender generally adheres to legal compliance, with a clear procedure, proper CPV code, and reasonable deadlines.

Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including deadlines, value, and duration. A substantial number of documents (25) are attached, covering technical specifications, contract forms, and reporting. However, the 'Hankepass rahvusvahelises formaadis (ESPD) v2.0 laiendatud' is not AI-analyzable, and 'Hankepass täiendatavate selgitustega' is noted as not required to be filled, which may cause some confusion.
