Tender Quality Score

This tender demonstrates good foundational information and clear service requirements but suffers from critical omissions regarding evaluation criteria and the lack of electronic submission, impacting fairness and practicality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes correctly. The submission deadline provides sufficient time from today's date. However, the 'Missing reveal date' is a transparency concern, and the explicit mention of mandatory exclusion grounds is not detailed in the provided summary, which could be a compliance gap if not fully addressed in the complete tender documents.

Missing reveal date for full transparency
Mandatory exclusion grounds not explicitly detailed in summary
Clarity60/100

The description of services and AI-extracted requirements are clear and unambiguous. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly reduces the clarity of the bidding process for potential suppliers.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness65/100

Most essential information such as title, organization, reference, value, duration, and location is provided. The tender documents are listed. Nevertheless, the crucial omission of evaluation criteria makes the tender incomplete from a bidder's perspective.

Missing evaluation criteria
Fairness55/100

The tender discloses the estimated value and the requirements (SIA accreditation) appear standard for the service, not tailored. The division into parts (Lots) can enhance competition. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria severely compromises transparency and objectivity, making the process potentially unfair. The absence of e-submission also limits equal access.

No evaluation criteria specified, impacting transparency and objectivity
No e-submission, limiting equal access
Practicality60/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified, and financing information is available. A significant practical drawback is the lack of electronic submission, which is a standard expectation in modern procurement and can create unnecessary administrative burden for bidders.

No e-submission supported
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields are consistently populated, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. Dates are logical. A minor inconsistency exists between the stated 24-month duration and a 'potential four-year contract' mentioned in one document summary, but the primary timeline is clear.

Minor inconsistency in contract duration mentioned across documents
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear description of required services and technical capabilities
Estimated value and contract duration are well-defined
CPV code and procedure type are correctly assigned
