Tender Quality Score

This tender notice provides only a high-level summary, critically lacking full tender documents and detailed requirements, which severely limits a comprehensive quality assessment. A significant concern is the stated 1-month contract duration for a 430,000 EUR 'Framework Agreement', which appears highly inconsistent and impractical.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance100/100

The summary mentions mandatory exclusion grounds and a 'Restricted' procedure, which are standard. However, without the full tender documents, it's impossible to assess the detailed legal compliance of specific requirements or the procedure's execution.

Clarity40/100

The tender's title and description are clear. However, the listed requirements are extremely generic, lacking the necessary detail for bidders to understand the specific scope and expectations. The 1-month duration for a framework agreement is highly unclear and contradictory.

Completeness83/100

The tender information is critically incomplete, with no attached documents and a severe lack of detail regarding mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, technical, financial, and crucially, evaluation criteria. The missing NUTS code also points to incompleteness.

No documents attached
Missing evaluation criteria
Fairness60/100

The absence of detailed requirements and evaluation criteria makes it impossible to assess fairness. This lack of transparency creates a high risk of subjective evaluation and could potentially allow for tailoring to a specific company, hindering fair competition. The 1-month framework duration could also unfairly deter bidders.

Potential for subjective evaluation due to missing detailed requirements and evaluation criteria
Risk of requirements being tailored for a specific company due to lack of detail
Practicality40/100

The submission method via the CPC Portal is practical. However, a 1-month contract duration for an 'ICT Network, Storage and Service Solutions Framework Agreement' with an estimated value of 430,000 EUR is highly impractical for both the contracting authority and potential suppliers, suggesting a fundamental misunderstanding or error.

Impractical contract duration (1 month) for a framework agreement of this value and scope
Data Consistency100/100

The most significant inconsistency is the 'Contract Duration: 1 months' for an 'ICT Network, Storage and Service Solutions Framework Agreement' with an 'Estimated Value: 430,000.00 EUR'. Framework agreements are typically multi-year, making this duration highly contradictory and problematic.

Inconsistent contract duration (1 month) for a framework agreement type
Sustainability0/100

Based on the provided summary and automated checks, there is no indication of green procurement, social criteria, or innovation focus, representing a missed opportunity to incorporate broader public value objectives.

Not green procurement
No social criteria

Strengths

Basic tender information (title, reference, organization, description, value, CPV) is provided.
The use of a 'Restricted' procedure can be appropriate for complex services.
The framework agreement approach, if correctly implemented, can offer efficiency for recurring needs.

Concerns

Critical absence of full tender documents and detailed specifications.
Highly inconsistent and impractical 1-month contract duration for a significant 'Framework Agreement'.
Lack of specific eligibility, technical, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria, leading to ambiguity.
High risk of subjective evaluation and potential for tailoring due to missing detailed requirements.
Absence of sustainability, social, and innovation criteria.

Recommendations

1. Immediately publish all comprehensive tender documents, including detailed specifications, terms, and evaluation criteria.
2. Urgently clarify or correct the stated contract duration, as the 1-month period for a framework agreement is highly problematic.
3. Ensure all eligibility, technical, and financial requirements are clearly detailed and proportionate to the contract scope.
