Tender Quality Score

This tender for stray dog collection and kennelling services presents a clear service description but is significantly hampered by critical omissions such as evaluation criteria and severe document processing errors, impacting fairness and completeness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender clearly defines the procedure type and assigns a relevant CPV code. Deadlines appear reasonable. However, the absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided summary and, critically, the complete lack of specified evaluation criteria are significant legal compliance deficiencies.

No explicit mandatory exclusion grounds mentioned in AI summary
No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity80/100

The service description, contract duration, and key eligibility/technical requirements are clearly articulated. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria significantly hinders the clarity for bidders on how their proposals will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, duration, and location is provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the critical omission of evaluation criteria and the lack of explicit financial requirements. Furthermore, issues with attached documents (one irrelevant summary, one failed download) indicate a lack of comprehensive and accessible documentation.

No evaluation criteria specified
No explicit financial requirements mentioned
Fairness50/100

While the estimated value is disclosed and specific requirements like kennelling location are justifiable for the service, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a fundamental flaw that severely compromises transparency and fairness. Bidders cannot objectively prepare proposals without knowing the assessment methodology. Document access issues further detract from fairness.

No evaluation criteria specified
Document 2 summary is irrelevant
Practicality65/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified, and a document URL is provided. However, the practicality is reduced by the issues with attached documents (irrelevant content, failed download) which make it difficult for bidders to access complete information. The automated flag of 'No e-submission' (if accurate, despite the Delta e-sourcing link) would also be a significant practical drawback.

Document 2 summary is irrelevant
Document 4 download failed
Data Consistency50/100

While key dates are logical and consistent, and no disputes are reported, there are significant data consistency issues. The summary for Document 2 is entirely irrelevant to the tender, and Document 4 failed to download, indicating severe errors in document management or data processing. Minor fields like 'Liable Person' are also empty.

Document 2 summary is irrelevant to the tender
Document 4 download failed
Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly incorporate any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. This represents a missed opportunity to align with modern public procurement best practices for sustainable development.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No explicit social criteria

Strengths
