Tender Quality Score

This tender notice is significantly incomplete, lacking essential documentation and detailed requirements necessary for a fair and transparent procurement process. While the basic intent is clear, the absence of full tender documents and evaluation criteria poses substantial risks.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance100/100

The tender specifies an 'open competition' and 'below threshold' procedure. However, the explicit statement that 'No specific mandatory exclusion grounds are identified' is a significant omission, as these are fundamental legal requirements in public procurement. Eligibility requirements are also vaguely defined.

Absence of specified mandatory exclusion grounds
Vague eligibility requirements
Clarity40/100

The description of the service (disposal of assets by public auction) is clear. However, the technical capability requirements are qualitative ('Possess experience,' 'Possess knowledge,' 'Demonstrate the ability') and lack measurable criteria or clear instructions on how these should be demonstrated or evaluated. The overall clarity is severely hampered by the absence of full tender documents.

Lack of measurable criteria for technical capabilities
Absence of detailed instructions for bid submission and content
Completeness83/100

This tender is critically incomplete. The explicit mention of 'DOCUMENTS (0 total)' and 'No document content available' indicates a fundamental lack of the actual tender documents. This leads to missing evaluation criteria, detailed legal, financial, and administrative requirements, and contractual terms, making it impossible for potential suppliers to prepare a comprehensive bid.

Absence of full tender documents
Missing evaluation criteria and methodology
Fairness60/100

The 'open competition' procedure is positive. However, the absence of clear evaluation criteria and detailed requirements creates a high risk of subjective assessment. The qualitative nature of the technical requirements, without specified evidence or scoring, could lead to inconsistent application and potentially favor a known supplier, undermining the principle of equal treatment.

High risk of subjective evaluation due to missing criteria
Potential for inconsistent application of qualitative technical requirements
Practicality40/100

While the concept of a framework for asset disposal is practical, the tender lacks practical guidance for suppliers. Without full documents, there are no instructions on how to submit a bid, what forms to use, or what specific information is required beyond the general capabilities. The 'No e-submission' flag also points to a potential practical hurdle.

Lack of practical guidance for bid submission
Absence of detailed contractual terms and conditions
Data Consistency100/100

The provided basic information (title, description, value) is internally consistent. However, the overall data consistency and reliability are severely compromised by the absence of the actual tender documents, which would normally provide the comprehensive and consistent set of information.

Sustainability0/100

The tender description and extracted requirements do not include any references to environmental, social, or innovation criteria, indicating a lack of focus on sustainable procurement principles.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria
