Tender Quality Score

This tender for combined liability insurance is generally well-structured with clear service descriptions, but suffers from significant gaps in the provided summary regarding evaluation criteria and detailed requirements, impacting fairness and clarity.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes correctly, and there are no reported disputes. Deadlines appear reasonable from the current date. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria and the missing 'Liable Person' are notable legal compliance issues.

Missing evaluation criteria
Liable Person not specified
Clarity70/100

The description of the required insurance policy, including specific sites and workforce details, is clear. However, the summary explicitly defers critical details such as mandatory exclusion grounds, technical, and financial requirements to the full tender documents, and crucially, evaluation criteria are entirely missing.

Missing evaluation criteria
Technical and financial requirements not detailed in summary
Completeness70/100

Basic information like title, reference, organization, value, duration, and location are well-provided. All listed documents are available. Nevertheless, the summary is incomplete regarding detailed technical, financial, and especially evaluation criteria, which are essential for a comprehensive tender.

Missing evaluation criteria
Technical and financial requirements not detailed in summary
Fairness65/100

The estimated value is disclosed, and the eligibility requirements appear generic, not tailored to a specific company. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria severely compromises the transparency and objectivity of the process, directly impacting fairness. The lack of e-submission also limits equal access.

Missing evaluation criteria
No e-submission
Practicality65/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. A significant practical drawback is the lack of electronic submission support, which can hinder participation and efficiency. A direct document URL is not explicitly provided in the summary.

No e-submission
Document URL not explicitly provided in summary
Data Consistency90/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. There are no reported suspensions or disputes. The estimated value conversion between EUR and GBP is also consistent. Minor omissions include the 'Liable Person' and specific procedure codes.

Liable Person missing
Type and Procedure codes missing
Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly include any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. While this is common for insurance policies, it represents a missed opportunity for incorporating broader sustainability objectives.
