Tender Quality Score

This is a preliminary market engagement notice, well-structured for its purpose, but it lacks critical information required for a complete and compliant tender document.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance40/100

The tender lacks a defined procedure type and detailed mandatory requirements (exclusion, eligibility, technical, financial), which are significant gaps for a complete tender. While appropriate for a planning notice, it scores low on tender quality.

Procedure type not defined
Missing detailed mandatory requirements (exclusion, eligibility, technical, financial)
Clarity30/100

While the description of the subject matter is clear, the actual tender requirements and evaluation criteria are entirely absent, making it unclear for potential bidders what is expected.

No detailed tender requirements (exclusion, eligibility, technical, financial)
No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness35/100

Basic information (title, reference, organization, value, duration) is present, but critical tender-specific requirements and criteria are missing, rendering it highly incomplete as a tender document.

Missing detailed tender requirements
Missing evaluation criteria
Fairness50/100

The preliminary market engagement process is a positive step towards fairness. However, the absence of evaluation criteria and the lack of e-submission support are significant fairness concerns for the eventual tender.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission support indicated
Practicality45/100

The contract start date and duration are known, but the lack of e-submission and the absence of detailed requirements make tender preparation impractical for suppliers.

No e-submission support
No detailed requirements for preparation
Data Consistency80/100

The provided data is consistent, even if some fields are intentionally empty due to the 'planning' status. There are no conflicting pieces of information.

Type and Procedure fields are 'None', but consistent with 'planning' status
Sustainability20/100

There is no mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation criteria, which represents a significant missed opportunity for a public contract of this scale.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear description of the subject matter
Estimated value, duration, and contract start date are specified
Preliminary market engagement process is a good practice for transparency
Basic administrative information (title, reference, organization, CPV) is present
Data consistency for available fields is good

Concerns

Absence of a defined procurement procedure type
Lack of detailed mandatory exclusion, eligibility, technical, and financial requirements
Missing evaluation criteria for the eventual tender
No indication of electronic submission support
No integration of sustainability, social, or innovation aspects

Recommendations

1. Clearly define the procurement procedure type and publish comprehensive tender documents with all legal, financial, technical, and eligibility requirements.
