Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear description of the required service but suffers from critical omissions regarding evaluation criteria and explicit legal grounds, alongside a lack of e-submission support.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance65/100

The procedure type and CPV code are correctly defined, and the tender is active with no disputes. However, the AI-extracted requirements explicitly state that mandatory exclusion and eligibility grounds are not mentioned in the provided tender description, which is a significant legal compliance gap for a public procurement process.

Absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided text.
Absence of explicit eligibility requirements in the provided text.
Clarity60/100

The service description and specific technical/financial requirements (delivery, training, lease options, pricing) are clear and unambiguous. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria makes it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be judged, significantly impacting overall clarity.

No evaluation criteria specified.
Completeness65/100

Basic information, deadlines, estimated value, and location are provided. However, the tender lacks explicit evaluation criteria, and the 'Tender Notice' document failed to download, suggesting potential missing critical information. The contract duration is stated as 36 months, but 1 and 5-year options are also requested, creating a minor ambiguity.

No evaluation criteria specified.
Failed download of 'Tender Notice' document.
Fairness55/100

The estimated value is disclosed, and requirements are not overtly tailored. However, the absence of clear evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as it can lead to subjective assessment. The lack of e-submission support and the failed download of a key document also hinder equal access and transparency for all potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified.
No e-submission support.
Practicality60/100

The contract start date is known, and financing information (estimated value) is available. However, the lack of electronic submission support is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement. The failed document download also impacts the practicality of accessing full tender details.

No electronic submission (e-submission) supported.
Failed download of 'Tender Notice' document.
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields are generally populated, and there are no reported suspensions or disputes. Dates are logical and consistent. The contract duration of 36 months aligns with one of the requested lease options, indicating good internal consistency.

Sustainability25/100

The tender description and requirements do not include any explicit green procurement criteria, social aspects, or innovation focus. This indicates a complete lack of emphasis on sustainability in this procurement.

No green procurement criteria.
No social aspects mentioned.

Strengths

Clear description of the required service (lease hire of compact road sweeper).
Specific technical and financial requirements are well-defined (delivery date, training, lease options, pricing terms).
Estimated value and contract start date are provided.
CPV code is correctly assigned.
Multiple lease options (1, 3, 5 years) are requested, offering flexibility.

Concerns

Absence of explicit evaluation criteria.
Lack of explicit mandatory exclusion and eligibility grounds in the provided text.
No support for electronic submission (e-submission).
'Tender Notice' document download failed, potentially withholding critical information.
No integration of sustainability (green, social, innovation) aspects.

Recommendations

1. Clearly define and publish the evaluation criteria to ensure transparency and fairness for all bidders.
2. Ensure all mandatory exclusion and eligibility grounds are explicitly stated in the tender documents.
3. Implement an e-submission platform to enhance accessibility, efficiency, and fairness for bidders.
