Tender Quality Score

This tender for a habitat assessment is hampered by significant documentation issues, including a failed download of the Tender Notice and missing evaluation criteria, severely impacting its transparency and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance45/100

The failed download of the 'Tender Notice' and the 'Official PDF Version' being marked as 'Required: No' are critical issues affecting legal compliance and transparency. While the procedure type and CPV code are clear, the absence of explicit mandatory exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements in the provided summary is a weakness.
