Tender Quality Score

This tender for an open framework for Section 12 Doctors suffers from significant deficiencies in legal compliance, clarity, and completeness, primarily due to the absence of mandatory exclusion grounds, specific financial requirements, and crucial evaluation criteria.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance30/100

The tender critically lacks mandatory exclusion grounds and specific financial requirements, which are fundamental for legal compliance under public procurement regulations. The absence of evaluation criteria also represents a significant legal oversight.

Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing specific financial requirements
Clarity40/100

While the overall service description is clear, the AI-extracted requirements are generic and lack detail. The complete absence of evaluation criteria makes it impossible for bidders to understand how their submissions will be assessed, severely impacting clarity.

Vague and generic requirements
Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness40/100

Basic tender information is present, but critical elements such as detailed mandatory exclusion grounds, specific financial requirements, and evaluation criteria are entirely missing. Furthermore, only one of four tender documents was processed, indicating potential incompleteness of the provided data.

Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing specific financial requirements
Fairness35/100

The absence of clear and objective evaluation criteria is a major impediment to fairness and transparency, as it introduces subjectivity into the assessment process. The generic nature of requirements, without clear assessment methods, further exacerbates this.

Missing evaluation criteria
Vague requirements
Practicality50/100

The tender provides clear contract start and duration dates. However, there is a contradiction regarding e-submission support, and a direct document URL is not provided, which could hinder bidder access and submission.

Contradiction regarding e-submission
No direct document URL
Data Consistency70/100

The timeline information is consistent with an open framework that commenced in 2023 and has an ongoing submission window. However, a direct contradiction exists between the stated "E-Procurement" characteristic and the automated check indicating "No e-submission."

Contradiction regarding e-submission
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not include any explicit requirements or considerations related to green procurement, social aspects, or innovation, indicating a lack of focus on sustainability objectives.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria
