Tender Quality Score

This tender is critically flawed due to the widespread inaccessibility of essential tender documents, rendering it practically unbiddable and severely compromising transparency, fairness, and legal compliance.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance20/100

While the procedure type and CPV code are correctly identified, and no disputes are present, the inability to access 8 out of 11 critical tender documents (including the full ITT, detailed scope, and contract terms) represents a severe failure in meeting mandatory disclosure and transparency requirements.

Inaccessible core tender documents (ITT, scope, T&Cs, pricing, questionnaire)
Clarity20/100

The high-level description of services is clear, and AI-extracted technical requirements are understandable. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria and the inaccessibility of detailed scope documents make the tender fundamentally unclear for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Detailed scope and full ITT inaccessible
Completeness10/100

Basic information such as title, organization, value, duration, and deadlines is provided. However, the tender is critically incomplete as 8 out of 11 listed documents, which contain essential details for bidding, are inaccessible ("Page not found").

8 out of 11 tender documents are inaccessible
Fairness10/100

The lack of access to essential tender documents, coupled with the absence of specified evaluation criteria, severely undermines the fairness and transparency of this procurement process. The lack of e-submission further limits equal access.

No full document access
No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality10/100

The tender is highly impractical for potential bidders due to the critical issue of inaccessible tender documents. Without the full ITT, scope, and pricing approach, preparing a compliant bid is impossible. The absence of e-submission also reduces practicality.

Inaccessible tender documents
No electronic submission supported
Data Consistency40/100

Key fields like title, reference, value, and deadlines are consistent. However, some fields (Liable Person, NUTS Code, procedure codes) are empty, and the critical inconsistency lies in listing documents that are then inaccessible, creating a misleading impression of completeness.

Empty fields (Liable Person, NUTS Code, procedure codes)
Listed documents are inaccessible
Sustainability25/100

The tender does not explicitly include any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus, indicating a lack of emphasis on sustainability criteria.

No green procurement, social, or innovation criteria

Strengths

Clear high-level description of services
Estimated value and contract duration are specified
CPV code is correctly assigned
No disputes or suspensions reported

Concerns

Critical inaccessibility of 8 out of 11 essential tender documents
Complete absence of specified evaluation criteria
