Tender Quality Score

This tender demonstrates good clarity and practicality, with transparent evaluation criteria and support for e-submission. However, it has notable gaps in legal compliance and completeness due to the explicit absence of mandatory exclusion grounds and detailed sub-criteria.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance60/100

The tender clearly defines the procedure type and CPV code, and no disputes are reported. However, the AI-extracted requirements explicitly state that 'No mandatory exclusion grounds are explicitly provided in the summarized tender documents,' which is a significant omission regarding fundamental legal compliance requirements.

Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds in the summarized tender documents.
Clarity80/100

The tender description is clear, and the AI-extracted requirements for eligibility, technical capability (method statement), financial proposal, and submission are well-defined. The main evaluation criteria (90% quality, 10% price) are clearly specified. However, detailed sub-criteria for the 90% quality evaluation are not provided in the summary, which could enhance clarity.

Lack of detailed sub-criteria for quality evaluation.
Completeness65/100

Basic information, deadlines, value, and duration are all provided, and documents are available. Key requirements are outlined. However, the explicit absence of mandatory exclusion grounds (as per AI summary) is a major completeness gap. Additionally, while 'Divided into Parts' is mentioned, no details on these parts are provided, and detailed sub-criteria for evaluation are missing.

Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds.
Lack of detailed sub-criteria for quality evaluation.
Fairness85/100

The tender encourages participation from SMEs and VCSEs, promoting broader access. The value is disclosed, and e-procurement via the eTenderWales portal ensures equal access. Requirements appear generic and not tailored to a specific company. The evaluation criteria (90% quality, 10% price) are transparent, though the absence of sub-criteria could introduce minor subjectivity.

Potential for minor subjectivity due to lack of detailed sub-criteria for quality.
Practicality85/100

Electronic submission is clearly supported via the eTenderWales portal. The contract start date and duration are explicitly stated. Financing information (estimated value) is available. The overall process seems practical for potential bidders.

Data Consistency90/100

Key fields are populated, and there are no reported suspensions or disputes. Dates are logical and consistent. There is a minor discrepancy between the estimated value in EUR and the GBP equivalent in one document summary, but this is acceptable for an estimate. The information provided is largely coherent.

Minor discrepancy in estimated value (EUR vs. GBP equivalent in document summary).
Sustainability50/100

The tender explicitly encourages participation from Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), which is a positive social aspect of sustainability. However, there is no mention of specific green procurement criteria or innovation focus.

Absence of explicit green procurement or innovation criteria.

Strengths

Clear description and main evaluation criteria.
Support for e-submission via eTenderWales portal.
Encouragement of SMEs and VCSEs.
Good data consistency for key fields and dates.
Value and duration clearly specified.

Concerns

Explicit absence of mandatory exclusion grounds in the summary.

Recommendations

1. Ensure all mandatory exclusion grounds are explicitly detailed in the tender documentation.

3. Clarify details regarding the 'Divided into Parts' characteristic if applicable, or remove if not relevant to this specific tender.
