Tender Quality Score

This tender for ice cream concession licenses is severely hampered by critical deficiencies in document provision and transparency, despite a clear core description.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance35/100

The tender lacks a clear reveal date and explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, which are fundamental for legal compliance. Furthermore, the inclusion of completely irrelevant documents under the 'TENDER DOCUMENTS' section suggests a critical failure in providing the actual, legally required tender documentation.

Missing reveal date
No explicit mandatory exclusion grounds
Clarity55/100

While the core description of the service, products, and operational period is clear, the tender suffers from a complete absence of specified evaluation criteria and vague eligibility requirements ('suitably qualified supplier'). The presence of irrelevant documents further obscures where to find comprehensive and clear instructions.

No evaluation criteria specified
Vague eligibility requirements
Completeness30/100

Despite providing basic information like title, organization, value, and duration, the tender is critically incomplete due to the apparent absence of the actual tender documents (as indicated by the irrelevant summaries). Key elements such as evaluation criteria, explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, and financial requirements are also missing.

Actual tender documents appear missing/incorrectly linked
No evaluation criteria specified
Fairness35/100

Fairness is significantly compromised by the lack of transparent evaluation criteria and the inability to access the correct tender documents. The absence of e-submission also creates an unnecessary barrier, potentially limiting equal access for all interested suppliers.

No evaluation criteria
No full document access (due to irrelevant documents)
Practicality55/100

The tender's practicality is hindered by the lack of electronic submission capabilities, which is a standard expectation in modern procurement. The issues with document access also create practical difficulties for potential bidders to understand and prepare their submissions.

No electronic submission supported
Document access issues (irrelevant content)
Data Consistency25/100

While basic structured data fields are largely consistent, the most severe inconsistency lies in the 'TENDER DOCUMENTS' section, where two out of four listed documents are entirely unrelated to this specific tender. This indicates a significant data integrity problem.

Irrelevant documents linked under 'TENDER DOCUMENTS'
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not incorporate any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It also does not appear to be EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.

No green procurement
No social criteria

Strengths

Value disclosed
CPV code provided

Concerns
