Needs Improvement

Tender Quality Score

This tender for a significant highways framework suffers from critical deficiencies, including inaccessible core documents, a complete absence of specified evaluation criteria, and missing fundamental legal and financial requirements, severely impacting fairness and clarity.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance30/100

The tender lacks explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and financial requirements, which are fundamental for legal compliance. The failure to download the 'Official PDF Version' also prevents a full compliance assessment.

Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing explicit eligibility requirements
Clarity30/100

While the general description is clear, the absence of specified evaluation criteria and the lack of explicit mandatory exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements create significant ambiguity for potential bidders regarding the assessment process and fundamental qualifications.

No evaluation criteria specified
Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, and financial requirements
Completeness25/100

Despite providing basic information, the tender is critically incomplete due to the failure to download the 'Official PDF Version' and 'Lot L-1' documents. Furthermore, essential requirements such as mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, financial criteria, and evaluation criteria are explicitly noted as missing.

Official PDF document download failed
Lot L-1 document download failed
Fairness25/100

Fairness is severely compromised by the inaccessibility of key tender documents and the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria. The lack of an e-submission option further creates barriers to equal access and transparent competition.

Official PDF document download failed
No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality30/100

The tender presents significant practical hurdles due to the absence of electronic submission capabilities and the failure to download critical tender documents. This complicates the bidding process for potential suppliers.

No e-submission
Key tender documents failed to download
Data Consistency80/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. Minor inconsistencies include an empty 'Liable Person' field and missing codes for the procedure type, but these do not significantly impact overall data integrity.

Empty 'Liable Person' field
Empty procedure codes
Sustainability10/100

The tender explicitly lacks any mention of green procurement, social criteria, or innovation focus, indicating a complete absence of sustainability considerations in the provided information.

Not green procurement
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear overall description of the framework's purpose and scope
Estimated value, duration, and contract start date are provided
CPV code and NUTS code are correctly assigned
Tender is divided into lots, potentially encouraging broader participation
Data consistency for populated fields is generally good

Concerns

Critical tender documents (Official PDF, Lot L-1) failed to download, hindering full access
No evaluation criteria are specified, making bidder assessment opaque
Mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, and financial requirements are not explicitly stated
Lack of electronic submission (e-submission) creates practical barriers
Complete absence of sustainability, social, or innovation considerations

Recommendations

1. Ensure all tender documents are fully accessible and downloadable to all potential bidders.
2. Clearly define and publish comprehensive evaluation criteria, mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, and financial requirements.
3. Implement an electronic submission platform to enhance accessibility and efficiency.
