Tender Quality Score

This is a well-structured Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) with clear objectives, aiming to gather market insights for a future IT system procurement. While it excels in clarity and fairness for a PME, it has some formal data gaps and lacks e-submission.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender, being a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME), appropriately states that formal tender requirements (exclusion, eligibility, financial grounds) are not applicable. This aligns with best practices for market consultation. The absence of a formal procedure type and code is a minor formal gap for a PME, but its purpose is clearly defined.

Formal procedure type and code are 'None'
Clarity80/100

The description and AI-extracted requirements are exceptionally clear in defining the purpose of the PME – to gather insights for future procurement. It explicitly distinguishes what is not applicable at this preliminary stage, which enhances understanding. The absence of evaluation criteria is appropriate for a PME.

Completeness70/100

Most essential information, including title, organization, estimated value, duration, and documents, is provided. However, the 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields being empty, and the 'Liable Person' missing, represent minor formal data gaps, even if the PME nature is clear from the description.

Formal procedure type and code are 'None'
Liable Person is not specified
Fairness85/100

The PME demonstrates good fairness by clearly stating its purpose to gather broad market insights, with generic technical requirements not tailored to a specific company. The estimated value is disclosed. The 14-day period for PME input is reasonable. The lack of e-submission is a minor detractor for equal access.

No e-submission functionality
Practicality65/100

The primary practical concern is the explicit lack of electronic submission (e-submission) functionality, which can complicate participation and is a significant drawback in modern procurement practices. Other practical details like contract start and duration are provided.

No e-submission functionality
Data Consistency90/100

Data is largely consistent, with logical dates and no reported disputes or suspensions. The minor inconsistencies are the empty 'Type', 'Procedure', and 'Liable Person' fields, which are formal gaps rather than conflicting data.

Formal procedure type and code are 'None'
Liable Person is not specified
Sustainability50/100

While the PME does not explicitly include green or social procurement criteria, it has a clear focus on gathering insights into 'emerging capabilities' and 'current solutions', indicating an innovation focus. This contributes positively to sustainability in a broader sense by seeking future-proof solutions.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No explicit social criteria

Strengths

Clear purpose and scope for Preliminary Market Engagement
Explicitly states what requirements are not applicable for a PME, enhancing clarity
Focus on gathering market insights and emerging capabilities, promoting innovation
Estimated value and duration for the future contract are disclosed
Requirements for PME participation are generic and not tailored

Concerns

Lack of formal procedure type and code
Absence of electronic submission (e-submission) functionality
Missing 'Liable Person' information
No explicit green or social procurement criteria

Recommendations

1. Specify a formal procedure type (e.g., 'Prior Information Notice - Market Consultation') and code for market engagement to enhance formal compliance.
2. Implement electronic submission capabilities for future market engagement exercises and formal tenders to improve accessibility and efficiency.
3. Consider incorporating explicit sustainability (green and social) criteria into the future formal tender, given the long contract duration.
