Tender Quality Score

This tender for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for digital connectivity services presents significant deficiencies in legal compliance, completeness, and fairness due to missing critical information such as mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance35/100

The tender critically lacks specified mandatory exclusion grounds, detailed financial requirements, and explicit evaluation criteria, which are fundamental for legal compliance in public procurement. The stated contract start date being in the past also raises compliance questions.

Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing specific financial requirements
Clarity55/100

While the overall description of the DPS and its categories is clear, the lack of specific evaluation criteria and the general nature of eligibility and technical requirements hinder a bidder's clear understanding of how their submission will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
General requirements lack specific metrics
Completeness45/100

The tender is incomplete as it fails to provide essential information such as mandatory exclusion grounds, specific financial requirements, and comprehensive evaluation criteria, which are crucial for a robust procurement process.

Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing specific financial requirements
Fairness40/100

The absence of clear and objective evaluation criteria severely compromises the fairness and transparency of the procurement process, as potential suppliers cannot understand the basis of assessment. The contradiction regarding e-submission also raises concerns about equal access.

No evaluation criteria specified
Contradiction on e-submission support
Practicality45/100

Practicality is hampered by the contradiction regarding e-submission support and the illogical contract start date being in the past. The lack of a direct document URL in the provided summary could also be a minor practical hurdle.

Contradiction on e-submission support
Contract start date in the past
Data Consistency40/100

Significant data inconsistencies are present, notably the contract start date being in the past relative to today's date, and the direct contradiction between 'E-Procurement' as a characteristic and 'No e-submission' as an issue.

Contradiction on e-submission support
