Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear service description and specific requirements, but a significant concern is the absence of evaluation criteria, which impacts transparency and fairness. Full tender documents are accessible via an external portal.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The deadlines are reasonable, and the procedure type is clearly defined. However, the summary lacks explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and procedure codes, which are minor but notable omissions for full legal disclosure.

Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds in the summary
Missing procedure codes
Clarity60/100

The service description and AI-extracted requirements are very clear and specific. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria is a critical flaw, making it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness65/100

Basic information, value, and duration are mostly present, though with minor inconsistencies. A significant gap is the absence of evaluation criteria and the fact that full tender documents are only accessible via an external portal, making the provided information incomplete for a comprehensive bid.

Full tender documents not directly provided/linked in the extract
Missing evaluation criteria
Fairness55/100

While e-procurement is enabled and requirements do not appear tailored, the complete lack of evaluation criteria is a major fairness issue, as it prevents objective and transparent assessment of bids.

No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality70/100

Electronic submission is supported, and contract dates and duration are clearly specified. The main practical point is that full documents require registration on an external portal, which is standard but means the provided extract isn't a one-stop shop.

Full tender documents require external portal registration
No direct URL for documents in the extract
Data Consistency80/100

Data is largely consistent, but there are minor discrepancies in the contract start date (March 31 vs April 1) and the presentation of the estimated value currency (EUR vs GBP, though clarified in description). Some codes and the liable person field are also empty.

Minor date inconsistency (contract start)
Minor value currency discrepancy (though clarified)
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not include any explicit criteria or focus on green procurement, social aspects, or innovation, which is a common omission but impacts its sustainability score.

No explicit sustainability, social, or innovation criteria

Strengths

Concerns

Full tender documents are not directly provided in the extract, requiring external portal registration.
Lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided summary.
