Tender Quality Score

This tender exhibits moderate quality with clear service requirements but significant deficiencies in transparency, completeness, and fairness, primarily due to missing evaluation criteria and inconsistencies in e-procurement details.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance70/100

Basic legal compliance appears to be met, with an open procedure and reference to relevant regulations. However, the absence of a clear reveal date and, more critically, the lack of specified evaluation criteria represent significant transparency and compliance gaps.

Missing reveal date
No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity65/100

The service description and AI-extracted requirements are generally clear and understandable. Nevertheless, the fundamental omission of evaluation criteria severely impacts the overall clarity for potential bidders regarding how their proposals will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness55/100

While essential information like title, value, and duration is present, the tender appears incomplete due to the likely absence of full tender documents (only one document summarized out of four total) and the critical omission of evaluation criteria.

Missing evaluation criteria
Only one document summarized (out of 4 total), implying incomplete documentation
Fairness40/100

The lack of specified evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, preventing objective bid preparation and assessment. The contradiction regarding e-procurement and the relatively short submission period for a complex, high-value tender further compromise equal access and transparency.

No evaluation criteria specified
Contradiction on e-procurement (E-Procurement characteristic vs. No e-submission issue)
Practicality50/100

The contradiction regarding e-submission functionality poses a significant practical hurdle. The absence of a direct document URL and a specified contract start date also reduce the practicality for bidders.

Contradiction on e-procurement (E-Procurement characteristic vs. No e-submission issue)
Document URL not provided
Data Consistency60/100

A significant data inconsistency exists with the 'E-Procurement' characteristic being contradicted by the 'No e-submission' automated check result. Minor gaps include the empty 'Liable Person' field and 'N/A' codes for procedure type.

Contradiction on e-procurement (E-Procurement characteristic vs. No e-submission issue)
'Liable Person' field empty
Sustainability20/100

The tender completely lacks any explicit mention or integration of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus, indicating a missed opportunity for sustainable public procurement.

Not green procurement
No social criteria

Strengths

Concerns
