Tender Quality Score

This preliminary market engagement notice provides a clear project description and requirements, utilizing an e-sourcing portal, but lacks a formal procedure type and detailed evaluation criteria for the eventual tender.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender is in a planning phase for market engagement, which mitigates some concerns. However, the absence of a defined procedure type and code is a notable gap, though CPV codes are correctly assigned and no disputes are present.

Missing formal procedure type and code
Clarity80/100

The project description and AI-extracted requirements for market engagement are clear and understandable. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria for the subsequent tender reduces overall clarity regarding the future procurement process.

No evaluation criteria specified for the eventual tender
Completeness70/100

Basic information, estimated value, duration, and documents are provided. While sufficient for preliminary market engagement, the absence of a formal procedure type and detailed evaluation criteria indicates incompleteness for a full tender.

Missing formal procedure type and code
No evaluation criteria specified for the eventual tender
Fairness85/100

The requirements appear generic and not tailored, the value is disclosed, and an e-sourcing portal is indicated. However, the lack of transparent evaluation criteria for the future tender could impact fairness for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified for the eventual tender
Practicality80/100

The tender provides a document URL, contract start date, and duration. Electronic submission is implied through the e-sourcing portal, despite an automated check flagging 'No e-submission,' which creates minor ambiguity.

Ambiguity regarding explicit e-submission confirmation
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields are mostly populated, and dates are logical. The primary consistency gap is the missing formal procedure type and code, which is more of a completeness issue.

Missing formal procedure type and code
Sustainability50/100

The tender does not include any explicit green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus, which is a missed opportunity for modern procurement practices.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No social criteria

Strengths

Concerns

3. Consider integrating sustainability, social, or innovation criteria into future procurement stages
