Tender Quality Score

This tender establishes a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for passenger transport services, demonstrating good legal adherence to PCR 2015 and a long open period for submissions. However, the provided information lacks critical details regarding specific eligibility, technical, financial, and evaluation criteria, significantly impacting clarity and completeness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender explicitly states adherence to the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015) and correctly identifies the CPV code. The DPS structure is a compliant procurement tool. A minor inconsistency exists in classifying the procedure as 'Restricted' while describing it as a DPS.

Inconsistent procedure type (Restricted vs. DPS)
Clarity55/100

While the overall purpose of establishing a DPS for passenger transport is clear, the AI-extracted requirements explicitly state that specific eligibility, technical, financial, and evaluation criteria are not detailed in the provided information. This significant lack of detail severely impacts the clarity for potential bidders.

Missing detailed eligibility requirements
Missing detailed technical capability requirements
Completeness60/100

Basic information such as title, organization, value, and deadlines for the DPS are provided. However, the tender information is incomplete regarding the specific eligibility, technical, financial, and evaluation criteria that bidders would need to prepare a comprehensive submission.

Missing detailed eligibility requirements
Missing detailed technical capability requirements
Fairness65/100

The DPS model, with its long open submission period and electronic nature, generally promotes fair access. The value is disclosed, and requirements are not tailored. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly undermines transparency and fairness, as bidders cannot understand how their submissions will be judged.

No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality70/100

The tender supports electronic submission, which is practical. The DPS is already active, allowing immediate participation. However, a direct URL to the full tender documents is not provided in the snippet, which is a minor practical inconvenience.

Document URL not provided in the snippet
Data Consistency70/100

Dates are logical and consistent with an active DPS. Most key fields are populated. The primary inconsistency is the classification of the procedure as 'Restricted' while the description clearly defines it as a 'Dynamic Purchasing System'. The 'Liable Person' field is also empty.

Inconsistent procedure type (Restricted vs. DPS)
Empty 'Liable Person' field
Sustainability20/100

The provided tender information does not include any specific criteria or mentions related to green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. This indicates a lack of emphasis on sustainability considerations.
