Tender Quality Score

This tender for a social care framework demonstrates good clarity in its service description and basic information, but suffers from critical deficiencies in specifying evaluation criteria and fully detailing requirements, significantly impacting fairness and completeness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes correctly, and no disputes or suspensions are noted. The framework structure allowing continuous joining is legally sound. However, the AI summary indicates a lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements, which are typically legal disclosure necessities. The 'Missing reveal date' is a minor procedural flaw for initial publication.

Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds (in summary)
Missing reveal date
Clarity55/100

The description of the services, target audience, and framework structure is clear. However, a critical deficiency is the explicit absence of evaluation criteria, making it unclear how providers will be assessed for admission. The AI summary also notes a lack of explicit financial requirements.

No evaluation criteria specified
No explicit financial requirements (in summary)
Completeness50/100

Basic information, financial value, and timeline are adequately provided. However, the tender is significantly incomplete regarding crucial details for bidders, specifically the absence of evaluation criteria, mandatory exclusion grounds, and detailed financial requirements in the provided summary. Only one of four tender documents was processed, suggesting potential gaps in the analyzed content.

No evaluation criteria specified
No explicit mandatory exclusion grounds (in summary)
Fairness45/100

The tender discloses the estimated value and the requirements appear generic, not tailored. The continuous nature of the framework allows ample time for preparation. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria severely compromises fairness and transparency, as it introduces subjectivity into the selection process. The contradiction regarding e-procurement, with 'No e-submission' flagged, also suggests potential barriers to equal access.

No evaluation criteria specified
Contradiction: E-Procurement characteristic vs. No e-submission
Practicality50/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the practicality for bidders is hampered by the lack of a direct document URL and the reported absence of electronic submission capabilities, despite 'E-Procurement' being listed as a characteristic.

No e-submission (contradicts characteristic)
No document URL provided
Data Consistency65/100

Most key fields are populated, and the dates are logical and consistent with a dynamic framework. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. However, a significant inconsistency exists between the 'E-Procurement' characteristic and the 'No e-submission' automated check. The 'Liable Person' field is also empty.

Contradiction: E-Procurement characteristic vs. No e-submission
Liable Person field empty
Sustainability50/100

The tender inherently addresses social aspects, being for social care services, and explicitly mentions 'Social Criteria.' However, it lacks any stated focus on green procurement or innovation, and is not EU funded, limiting its overall sustainability profile.

Not green procurement
No innovation focus

Strengths

Concerns
