Tender Quality Score

This planning notice provides essential administrative details but critically lacks specified evaluation criteria, significantly impacting clarity, completeness, and fairness for potential bidders. Sustainability aspects are entirely absent.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance70/100

The tender clearly defines the procedure type and CPV code, and no disputes are reported. However, the planning notice lacks an explicit reveal date, and the AI-extracted requirements do not explicitly detail mandatory exclusion grounds or comprehensive financial requirements, which are fundamental for full legal compliance and transparency.

Missing reveal date for the planning notice
Lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds in AI-extracted summary
Clarity55/100

The description of the required goods is clear and understandable, as are the eligibility and technical requirements. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria is a major clarity issue, preventing bidders from understanding how their proposals will be assessed. Performance conditions are also not explicitly detailed.

No evaluation criteria specified
No explicit performance conditions
Completeness55/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, duration, and location are all provided, and documents are listed. However, the tender is critically incomplete due to the explicit absence of evaluation criteria. Mandatory exclusion grounds and specific financial requirements are also not explicitly detailed in the AI-extracted summary.

No evaluation criteria specified
Lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements
Fairness50/100

The tender provides document access, discloses the estimated value, and supports electronic submission via a dedicated portal, promoting equal access. The technical requirements appear generic. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria severely compromises fairness and transparency, as bidders cannot objectively understand the basis for award decisions.

No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality70/100

Electronic submission is supported via the Defence Sourcing Portal, and the contract start date and duration are clearly specified. The estimated value is provided. While explicit document URLs are not given, the listing of documents implies accessibility. The lack of explicit financial requirements for bidders could be a minor practical hurdle.

No explicit document URLs provided
Lack of specific financial requirements for bidders
Data Consistency80/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates (submission, contract start) are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. A minor inconsistency exists between the AI-extracted requirement for e-submission and an automated check flagging 'No e-submission', but the AI-extracted detail is more specific. Empty codes for Type and Procedure, and a missing 'Liable Person', are minor data quality issues.

Minor inconsistency regarding e-submission (automated check vs. AI-extracted)
Empty codes for Type and Procedure
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not include any explicit green procurement, social, or innovation criteria. It is also not EU-funded. This indicates a complete lack of focus on sustainability aspects, which is a significant area for improvement.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria
