Tender Quality Score

This tender provides basic information and documents, but lacks critical details such as evaluation criteria and specific qualification requirements, which significantly impacts transparency and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

Legal compliance is generally good with a clearly defined procedure type and appropriate CPV code. However, the AI summary indicates a lack of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds and eligibility requirements, which are fundamental legal aspects.

No specific mandatory exclusion grounds detailed in AI summary
No specific eligibility requirements detailed in AI summary
Clarity55/100

Clarity is significantly hampered by the complete absence of evaluation criteria. Additionally, the AI-extracted requirements for eligibility, financial, and technical capabilities are very generic, lacking the necessary detail for bidders to formulate comprehensive proposals.

No evaluation criteria specified
Generic and undetailed eligibility requirements
Completeness65/100

While basic information, deadlines, value, and duration are present, the tender is incomplete due to the absence of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, financial requirements, and, most critically, evaluation criteria.

Missing detailed mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing detailed eligibility requirements
Fairness50/100

The complete absence of evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as bidders cannot objectively understand how their proposals will be assessed. While electronic submission is supported and requirements are generic, this omission creates an uneven playing field.

No evaluation criteria specified, impacting transparency and objectivity
Practicality75/100

The tender supports electronic submission via a specified portal, and key dates like contract start and duration are clearly provided. The implied accessibility of documents is also a positive aspect.

No explicit document URL provided (though implied via portal)
Data Consistency85/100

Data is largely consistent, with logical dates and active status. Minor inconsistencies include an empty 'Liable Person' field, a missing code for the 'Open' procedure type, and a contradictory 'Value Classified: Yes' flag despite the value being disclosed.

Empty 'Liable Person' field
Missing code for 'Open' procedure type
Sustainability30/100

The tender does not include any explicit references to green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus, indicating a lack of integration of sustainability considerations.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria

Concerns
