Tender Quality Score

This tender presents significant deficiencies in clarity, completeness, and fairness, primarily due to the absence of evaluation criteria and electronic submission, despite a clear description of works.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance70/100

The tender defines the procedure type as 'Open' and provides a CPV code, though a more specific one for AC maintenance would be preferable. No disputes are reported. The main legal compliance concern is the missing reveal date, which hinders a full assessment of the publication period.

Broad CPV code (45000000 for AC maintenance)
Missing reveal date
Clarity55/100

The description of the required works is clear and unambiguous. However, the explicit absence of specified evaluation criteria is a major clarity issue, preventing bidders from understanding how proposals will be judged. Details on mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements are also lacking in the provided summaries.

No evaluation criteria specified
Lack of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements in summaries
Completeness50/100

While basic information like title, value, and duration is present, the tender is incomplete regarding crucial details such as specific financial requirements, mandatory exclusion grounds, and critically, the evaluation criteria. Minor codes for procedure type are also missing.

Missing specific financial requirements
Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Fairness40/100

The tender value is disclosed, and requirements do not appear tailored to a specific company. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria severely impacts the objectivity and transparency of the evaluation process. The lack of electronic submission also creates an unnecessary barrier, hindering equal access for bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified (impacts transparency)
No e-submission (impacts equal access)
Practicality60/100

The tender provides a document URL, a clear contract start date, and duration. However, the absence of electronic submission is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, increasing administrative burden for both bidders and the contracting authority.

No e-submission
Data Consistency85/100

The tender data is largely consistent, with logical dates and no reported disputes or suspensions. Most key fields are populated. Minor inconsistencies include missing codes for the procedure type and an empty 'Liable Person' field.

Missing codes for 'Type' and 'Procedure'
Empty 'Liable Person' field
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not explicitly incorporate any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not EU-funded, which often drives higher sustainability standards. This represents a missed opportunity to leverage public procurement for broader societal and environmental benefits.

No green procurement
No social criteria
