Tender Quality Score

This is a clear and well-defined market engagement notice, effectively outlining its purpose and scope. However, it exhibits notable formal classification gaps and relies on outdated submission methods.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender explicitly states its intent to prevent unfair advantage and maintain equal treatment. However, the formal 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields are unpopulated, which is a significant legal/procedural omission for any public notice. The 'Value Classified: Yes' alongside a disclosed value is also confusing.

Missing formal procedure type and code
Contradictory 'Value Classified' status
Clarity80/100

The description and AI-extracted requirements are exceptionally clear regarding the purpose of the market engagement, the type of information sought, and what should explicitly not be submitted (e.g., pricing, commercial bids). This clarity helps potential suppliers understand the scope.

Completeness70/100

Most essential information such as title, organization, reference, value, duration, and CPV codes are provided. However, the formal procedure type is missing, and while it's a market engagement, the absence of any stated criteria for how market input will be assessed could be improved.

Missing formal procedure type
No explicit criteria for assessing market input
Fairness85/100

Fairness is a strong point, with explicit safeguards mentioned to prevent unfair advantage and distorting future competition. Requirements are generic and not tailored. The main drawback is the lack of e-submission, which can hinder equal access for some suppliers.

No e-submission support
Practicality65/100

The tender provides key practical information like contract start date and duration. However, the reliance on email for submissions instead of a dedicated e-procurement platform is a significant practical limitation in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden.

No electronic submission supported
Data Consistency50/100

There are notable inconsistencies and unpopulated key fields. 'Type: None' and 'Procedure: None' are significant data gaps. The 'Value Classified: Yes' contradicts the explicit disclosure of the estimated value, indicating a data entry or classification issue.

Unpopulated 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields
Contradiction between 'Value Classified: Yes' and disclosed value
Sustainability50/100

The tender explicitly seeks information on 'innovations and solution maturity,' demonstrating a focus on innovation. However, it completely lacks any mention of environmental (green procurement) or social aspects, which are crucial components of comprehensive sustainability.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria
