Tender Quality Score

This tender for an external audit of the NorTMS system demonstrates good practicality and data consistency, but significantly lacks clarity and fairness due to missing evaluation criteria and detailed requirements.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender generally complies with basic legal requirements, featuring a clear procedure type and appropriate CPV codes. However, the absence of a specified tender reveal date and detailed mandatory exclusion grounds represents minor disclosure gaps.

Missing tender reveal date
No specific mandatory exclusion grounds detailed
Clarity60/100

While the service description and AI-extracted technical requirements are clear, the critical omission of evaluation criteria significantly hinders bidders' understanding of how proposals will be assessed. Detailed eligibility requirements are also not specified.

No evaluation criteria specified
No specific eligibility requirements detailed
Completeness65/100

Basic tender information, financial details, and document access are provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the lack of explicit evaluation criteria, detailed eligibility requirements, and mandatory exclusion grounds.

Missing evaluation criteria
No specific eligibility requirements detailed
Fairness60/100

The use of an e-sourcing portal and disclosed value promote equal access. However, the absence of transparent evaluation criteria is a major concern, potentially leading to an opaque and unfair selection process. Requirements do not appear tailored.

No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality85/100

The tender scores highly on practicality, offering electronic submission via a dedicated portal with direct links. Key dates (submission, contract start) and duration are clearly specified, facilitating bidder planning.

Data Consistency80/100

Data consistency is generally good, with logical dates and no disputes. Minor inconsistencies include missing codes for procedure type, an empty 'Liable Person' field, and a slight discrepancy between EUR and GBP estimated values.
