Tender Quality Score

This tender outlines a conditions of participation stage for a multi-supplier Fire Compliance Framework, but suffers from significant deficiencies including a highly questionable estimated value, missing procedure type, and lack of explicit evaluation criteria.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance45/100

The tender lacks a clearly defined procedure type and explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, which are fundamental legal requirements. The estimated value of 100 EUR for a 48-month framework is highly problematic and could indicate non-compliance with advertising thresholds or be misleading.

Missing procedure type
Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds
Clarity65/100

While the purpose of the 'conditions of participation' stage is clear, detailed technical and financial requirements are deferred to a document that must be requested. Crucially, no evaluation criteria are specified, significantly reducing the clarity for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Detailed requirements deferred to a requested document
Completeness55/100

The estimated value of 100 EUR for a 48-month fire services framework is a critical omission or error, rendering the financial information incomplete and potentially misleading. Detailed requirements and evaluation criteria are also not fully defined in the public notice.

Estimated value of 100 EUR is critically incomplete/misleading
Detailed requirements and evaluation criteria are missing
Fairness60/100

The absence of explicit evaluation criteria for the conditions of participation stage significantly impacts transparency and fairness. Requiring document access via a portal, while common, adds a slight barrier compared to direct download, though requirements appear generic.

No evaluation criteria specified
Document access requires portal registration/request
Practicality65/100

The ambiguity regarding electronic submission (portal mentioned, but automated check flags 'No e-submission') creates practical uncertainty. The extremely low estimated value makes it impractical for suppliers to accurately gauge the scale and opportunity of the framework.

Ambiguity regarding e-submission
Misleading estimated value (100 EUR)
Data Consistency50/100

Key fields such as 'Type' and 'Procedure' are marked as 'None', indicating significant missing data. The estimated value of 100 EUR is highly inconsistent with a 48-month multi-supplier framework for fire services.

Missing 'Type' and 'Procedure' information
Estimated value of 100 EUR is inconsistent with framework scope
Sustainability20/100

The tender makes no mention of any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus, indicating a complete absence of sustainability considerations.

No green procurement criteria
No social aspects included

Strengths

Clear description of the 'conditions of participation' stage and its purpose
Basic information (title, reference, organization, CPV) is well-defined
Documents are available, albeit requiring portal access
Contract duration and start date are specified

Concerns

Estimated value of 100 EUR is highly unrealistic for a 48-month framework
Procedure type and mandatory exclusion grounds are not specified
Evaluation criteria for the conditions of participation stage are missing
Detailed technical and financial requirements are not publicly available
No sustainability, social, or innovation aspects are included

Recommendations

1. Clarify the estimated value of the framework or explicitly state it as a placeholder.
2. Clearly define the procurement procedure type and mandatory exclusion grounds.
3. Publish detailed evaluation criteria for the conditions of participation stage.
