Tender Quality Score

This pre-market engagement is clearly defined in its purpose, aiming to gather market insights, but it exhibits notable gaps in transparency regarding value disclosure and lacks modern e-submission capabilities.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

Legal compliance is generally adequate for a pre-market engagement, which is not a formal tender. However, the 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields being 'None' and the classified value represent minor formal gaps.

Procedure type not formally defined (Type: None, Procedure: None)
Estimated value classified
Clarity85/100

The tender's purpose as a pre-market engagement is exceptionally clear and unambiguous. It explicitly states that formal requirements (exclusion, eligibility, technical, financial, evaluation criteria) are not applicable at this preliminary stage, which is highly transparent.

Completeness70/100

One document failed to download
Fairness65/100

While requirements are generic and not tailored, the classified estimated value reduces transparency for potential suppliers. The absence of electronic submission capabilities also presents a barrier to equal access and modern procurement practices.
