Tender Quality Score

This tender presents a clear description of services but suffers from significant deficiencies in legal compliance, fairness, and practicality due to missing critical information and the absence of modern e-procurement features.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance55/100

The tender lacks explicit mention of mandatory exclusion grounds, which is a significant legal compliance issue. The reveal date is missing, preventing a full assessment of the reasonableness of the preparation period. Additionally, the procedure and type codes are not fully populated.

Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing reveal date
Clarity70/100

The service description and basic requirements are clear and understandable. However, while the evaluation weighting (70% quality, 30% price) is stated, the detailed criteria for assessing 'quality' are not provided, which significantly reduces clarity for potential bidders.

Lack of detailed quality evaluation criteria
Completeness65/100

While core information like title, organization, value, and deadlines are present, several key fields are missing, including the liable person and the tender's reveal date. Crucially, the detailed criteria for evaluating the 'quality' component of bids are absent.

Missing liable person
Missing reveal date
Fairness50/100

The absence of electronic submission (e-submission) is a major barrier to equal access and fairness in modern procurement. The lack of detailed quality evaluation criteria also introduces subjectivity and reduces transparency, potentially disadvantaging bidders.

No electronic submission (e-submission)
Lack of detailed quality evaluation criteria
Practicality40/100

The most significant practicality issue is the lack of support for electronic submission, which is a standard expectation for tenders in 2026. While other practical details like contract start and duration are clear, this omission severely impacts efficiency and accessibility.

No electronic submission (e-submission)
Data Consistency75/100

Most key financial and timeline data points are consistent. However, the absence of certain fields (liable person, reveal date, procedure/type codes) and the initial contradiction regarding evaluation criteria (resolved by interpreting as 'detailed criteria missing') slightly reduce the score.

Missing data in some key fields (e.g., liable person, reveal date, procedure/type codes)
Sustainability20/100

The tender makes no mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. This indicates a complete absence of sustainability considerations, which is a significant missed opportunity for public value.

No green procurement criteria
No social aspects considered
