Tender Quality Score

This tender exhibits significant issues regarding transparency and consistency, primarily due to the undisclosed estimated value and a critical contradiction concerning the evaluation criteria. While basic information is present, these fundamental flaws undermine the quality and fairness of the procurement process.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance60/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly, and there are no reported disputes. However, the estimated value is classified, which is a significant transparency issue. Furthermore, the system flags 'No evaluation criteria specified,' which, if true, represents a major legal compliance failure regarding transparency and equal treatment. The AI summary also lacks specific mandatory exclusion grounds.

Value classified
No evaluation criteria specified (as per system flag)
Clarity55/100

The tender's description and basic requirements are clear. However, a critical contradiction exists between the AI-extracted requirements, which state a 30% price / 70% quality evaluation, and the system's 'Issues/Flags' indicating that no evaluation criteria are specified. This fundamental ambiguity severely impacts the clarity of the procurement process for potential bidders.

Contradiction regarding evaluation criteria
Performance conditions not extensively detailed
Completeness60/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, deadlines, and duration are provided. All listed documents are available and summarized. However, the estimated value is not disclosed, which is a significant omission. The ambiguity surrounding evaluation criteria also affects the completeness of critical tender information.

Estimated value not disclosed
Ambiguity regarding evaluation criteria
Fairness50/100

While electronic submission is supported and requirements appear generic, the undisclosed estimated value and the reported absence of specified evaluation criteria (as per system flags) severely undermine the fairness and transparency of the tender. Bidders cannot adequately assess the opportunity or how their proposals will be judged.

Value classified
No evaluation criteria specified (as per system flag)
Practicality70/100

The tender supports electronic submission and clearly specifies the contract start date and duration, which are practical aspects for bidders. However, the lack of an estimated value can make it challenging for potential suppliers to gauge the scale of commitment and resource allocation required.

Estimated value not disclosed
Data Consistency50/100

There is a critical inconsistency between the AI-extracted requirements, which mention a 30% price / 70% quality evaluation, and the system's 'Issues/Flags' stating that no evaluation criteria are specified. This fundamental contradiction is a major concern. Additionally, the estimated value is not disclosed, and the 'Liable Person' field is empty.

Contradiction regarding evaluation criteria
Estimated value not disclosed
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not include any explicit criteria or focus on green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. It appears to be a standard procurement for goods without sustainability considerations.

No green procurement
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear identification of buyer, subject, and procedure type
Electronic submission via a dedicated portal is supported
Contract duration and start date are clearly specified
All listed tender documents are available and summarized
No reported disputes or suspensions

Concerns

Critical contradiction regarding evaluation criteria between AI summary and system flags

Lack of specific mandatory exclusion grounds in AI summary
Absence of any sustainability, social, or innovation criteria
Liable person field is empty

Recommendations

1. Clarify and explicitly state the full evaluation criteria within the official tender documents to resolve the current contradiction.
2. Disclose the estimated contract value to enhance transparency and allow fair assessment by potential bidders.
3. Ensure all mandatory exclusion and selection grounds are clearly detailed in the tender documentation.
