Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear description and essential information, but suffers from significant deficiencies in detailed evaluation criteria, lack of e-submission, and critical data inconsistencies.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance80/100

The procedure type is defined as 'Below threshold - open competition' and CPV codes are correctly assigned. Deadlines appear reasonable (22 days from today's date to submission). However, procedure codes are missing, and the reveal date is not specified, which are minor omissions.

Missing procedure codes
Missing reveal date
Clarity60/100

The overall description of services is clear and unambiguous. While evaluation criteria (60% technical, 40% price) are stated, the detailed sub-criteria for technical evaluation are entirely missing, making it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed. Performance conditions are also vaguely defined.

Missing detailed technical evaluation sub-criteria
Vague performance conditions
Completeness60/100

Basic information, financial details, timeline, and classification are provided. All four tender documents are listed with summaries. However, the critical absence of detailed technical evaluation sub-criteria significantly impacts the completeness of the tender documentation.

Missing detailed technical evaluation sub-criteria
Fairness50/100

Full document access and value disclosure are positive. However, the lack of detailed technical evaluation sub-criteria introduces subjectivity into the assessment process, potentially hindering objective and transparent evaluation. Furthermore, the absence of e-submission capabilities creates a barrier to equal access for all potential bidders.

Lack of detailed technical evaluation sub-criteria
No e-submission support
Practicality55/100

Contract start date, duration, and estimated value are specified. However, the critical absence of electronic submission support (e-submission) is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, increasing administrative burden for bidders.

No e-submission support
Data Consistency30/100

There are severe data inconsistencies. The 'Contract Start' date (2026-01-23) is illogical as it precedes 'Today's Date' (2026-01-28) and the 'Submission Deadline' (2026-02-19). Additionally, the NUTS code UKI32 (London) is inconsistent with the service location in Bogota, Colombia. The 'Liable Person' field is also empty.

Illogical contract start date (before submission deadline)
Inconsistent NUTS code (UKI32 for Colombia)
Sustainability20/100

The tender lacks explicit criteria for green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. While the description mentions promoting UK values like environmental protection and human rights, these are framed as event objectives rather than procurement requirements for the service provider.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No explicit social criteria

CPV code is provided and relevant
