Tender Quality Score

Overall, the tender documentation provides clear basic information, but suffers from significant gaps in evaluation criteria and financial requirements within the summary, alongside a critical data inconsistency in one document summary.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

Legal compliance is generally good, with a clearly defined procedure type and correctly assigned CPV code. However, the 'Liable Person' is missing, and specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the summary, which are typically part of full disclosure.

Missing 'Liable Person' information
Evaluation criteria not specified in the summary
Clarity60/100

The description and basic requirements are clear. However, the critical absence of specific evaluation criteria and detailed financial requirements in the provided summary significantly reduces overall clarity for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified in the summary
Detailed financial requirements not provided in the summary
Completeness55/100

While many basic fields are populated, the summary is incomplete regarding specific financial requirements and evaluation criteria. A major concern is the misattributed summary for 'Document 4', which refers to a completely different tender, indicating a significant processing error.

Missing specific financial requirements in the summary
Missing evaluation criteria in the summary
Fairness65/100

The tender benefits from disclosed value and enabled e-procurement. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria in the summary is a significant transparency issue, making it difficult for bidders to fully understand how their proposals will be assessed, thus impacting fairness.

No evaluation criteria specified in the summary
Practicality80/100

The tender supports electronic submission via PCS-Tender and clearly specifies the contract duration and estimated value. While a direct document URL is not provided, the platform name is given, which is generally sufficient.

Data Consistency40/100

The most critical issue is the severe data inconsistency where 'Document 4: Tender Notice' summary describes a completely different procurement by other councils for mental health services. This error significantly undermines the reliability of the provided tender information.

Document 4 summary refers to a completely different tender
Sustainability20/100

The tender information provided does not include any mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. This represents a missed opportunity to integrate sustainability criteria.

No green procurement criteria mentioned
No social aspects mentioned

Strengths

Clear description and basic tender information (title, reference, organization, CPV)
Use of E-Procurement platform (PCS-Tender) for submission
Contract is divided into parts, potentially encouraging SME participation
Estimated value and contract duration are clearly specified
No reported disputes or suspensions

Concerns

Absence of specific evaluation criteria in the provided summary
Lack of detailed financial requirements in the provided summary
Critical data inconsistency: one document summary refers to a completely different tender
No mention of sustainability, social, or innovation aspects
Missing 'Liable Person' information

Recommendations

1. Ensure all provided document summaries accurately reflect the current tender to avoid critical data inconsistencies.
2. Include key evaluation criteria and detailed financial requirements in the tender summary for enhanced clarity and fairness.
3. Consider integrating sustainability, social, or innovation criteria into future tenders to promote broader public value.
