Tender Quality Score

This is a clear pre-procurement notice for vehicle specialist services, providing good initial information and utilizing an e-sourcing portal, but it suffers from significant issues with attached documents and a lack of evaluation criteria.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The procedure type and CPV code are clearly defined and appropriate. As a planning notice, full legal details are not expected, but the framework appears compliant. No disputes or suspensions are noted. The main concern is the potential for a very short tender period once the full documents are released, though this notice itself serves as a preparatory period.

Clarity80/100

The description of the required services, geographical scope, and technical capabilities is clear and unambiguous for a pre-tender notice. AI-extracted requirements accurately reflect the description. However, the absence of evaluation criteria is a notable gap, even at this preparatory stage, as it limits bidders' ability to fully understand the procurement's focus.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, organization, reference, estimated value, duration, and contract start date are well-provided. However, the tender package is significantly incomplete due to an irrelevant document being attached (Document 1) and another failing to download (Document 4). Key details like full financial requirements and evaluation criteria are also missing, though some are expected for a pre-tender.

Irrelevant document attached (Document 1)
Document download failed (Document 4)
Fairness85/100

The issuance of a pre-procurement notice itself enhances fairness by allowing potential bidders to prepare. The estimated value is disclosed, and the use of an e-sourcing portal promotes equal access. Requirements appear generic and not tailored. The primary fairness concern is the complete absence of evaluation criteria, which hinders transparency and objective preparation for bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality65/100

Electronic submission is supported via the specified eSourcing portal, and key dates like contract start and duration are clear. However, the practical utility of the provided 'TENDER DOCUMENTS' section is severely undermined by the irrelevant content in one document and the failure to download another, making it impractical for bidders to rely on this section for information.

Irrelevant document attached (Document 1)
Document download failed (Document 4)
Data Consistency60/100

There are significant data consistency issues. Document 1 is entirely irrelevant to this tender, and Document 4 failed to download. Minor inconsistencies include an empty 'Liable Person' field and an empty 'Type Code', with 'Type' stating 'Open' while 'Procedure' specifies 'Below threshold - open competition'. Dates are otherwise logical.

Irrelevant document attached (Document 1)
Document download failed (Document 4)
Sustainability50/100

The notice makes no mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. As a pre-tender, these details might be elaborated in the full tender, but their absence here means no positive sustainability indicators are present.

No mention of green procurement
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear description of required services and geographical scope.
Estimated value and key contract dates (duration, start) are provided.
Utilizes an eSourcing portal for future tender release and submission.
Pre-procurement notice allows potential bidders to prepare.
CPV code is appropriate for the service.

Concerns

Significant issues with attached documents: one is irrelevant, another failed to download.
Lack of evaluation criteria, even for a pre-tender notice, hinders bidder preparation.
Missing detailed financial requirements and mandatory exclusion grounds.
No mention of sustainability, social, or innovation aspects.
Minor data inconsistencies (e.g., empty fields, irrelevant document).

Recommendations

1. Publish evaluation criteria and detailed financial requirements as soon as possible, ideally with the full tender documents.
2. Ensure all attached documents are relevant and accessible, rectifying the issues with Document 1 and Document 4.
3. Consider incorporating sustainability, social, or innovation criteria into the full tender to align with modern procurement best practices.
