Tender Quality Score

This tender for an Integrated Healthy Lifestyle Service presents significant quality concerns, primarily due to the lack of disclosed estimated value, missing evaluation criteria, and highly generic or absent specific requirements, which severely impact clarity, completeness, and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance65/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code appropriately. However, the 'Missing reveal date' is a significant legal compliance issue as it prevents verification of adherence to minimum tender periods. The empty procedure code is a minor inconsistency.

Missing tender reveal date
Empty procedure code
Clarity35/100

While the service description and aims are clear, the tender critically lacks specified evaluation criteria. Furthermore, mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements are noted as 'No specific requirements found', and technical capabilities are described in very generic terms, mirroring service objectives rather than measurable criteria. This severely impacts bidder understanding.

No evaluation criteria specified
Generic technical capability requirements
Completeness40/100

Basic information like title, organization, duration, and location is provided. However, the estimated value is 'Not disclosed' and 'Classified', which is a major omission. Crucially, evaluation criteria are missing, and specific financial and mandatory exclusion requirements are absent, making the tender incomplete.

Estimated value not disclosed and classified
No evaluation criteria specified
Fairness30/100

The classified estimated value significantly hinders fair competition and transparency, as bidders cannot adequately assess the opportunity. The complete absence of specified evaluation criteria makes the procurement process opaque and highly susceptible to subjective assessment, undermining fairness. While e-procurement is enabled, these fundamental issues create an uneven playing field.

Estimated value classified (not disclosed)
No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality60/100

Electronic submission is supported, and the contract duration and start date are clearly specified. However, the classified value means financing information is not practically available to bidders. Additionally, the link to the preliminary market engagement notice is broken, reducing access to potentially useful background information.

Financing information (estimated value) not available to bidders
Broken link to preliminary market engagement notice
Data Consistency75/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include an empty 'Liable Person' field, a missing procedure code, and duplicated description content.

Empty 'Liable Person' field
Empty procedure code
Sustainability60/100

The service itself, an 'Integrated Healthy Lifestyle Service', inherently addresses social sustainability by aiming to enhance well-being and reduce health inequalities. However, the tender does not explicitly include criteria for environmental (green) procurement or innovation, nor is it EU funded, which often drives higher sustainability standards.

Lack of explicit environmental (green) procurement criteria
Lack of explicit innovation focus

Strengths

Concerns

Recommendations

1. Disclose the estimated contract value to ensure transparency and fairness.
2. Clearly define and publish comprehensive evaluation criteria for all aspects of the tender.
3. Provide specific and measurable requirements for mandatory exclusion grounds, financial capability, and technical capability.
