Tender Quality Score

This tender for heating infrastructure works is well-described with a generous submission period, but suffers from critical omissions regarding evaluation criteria, mandatory exclusion grounds, and sustainability aspects, impacting its overall quality and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance65/100

The tender benefits from a very reasonable submission period (over 9 months from today's date) and correctly assigned CPV codes. However, the absence of specified mandatory exclusion grounds and, critically, evaluation criteria, represents a significant legal compliance weakness. The 'Competitive flexible procedure' is also vaguely defined.

Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity70/100

The description of the works and the technical/financial requirements are clear and detailed. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria severely undermines the clarity of how bids will be assessed, making it difficult for potential bidders to understand the basis of award.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness60/100

While essential information like title, reference, organization, value, duration, and location are provided, the tender is critically incomplete due to the lack of specified evaluation criteria. Additionally, the 'Liable Person' field and specific procedure codes are empty.

Missing evaluation criteria
Liable Person field is empty
Fairness55/100

The tender provides a generous submission deadline and discloses the estimated value, and requirements do not appear tailored. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as it introduces subjectivity and reduces transparency. The lack of electronic submission also limits equal access.

No evaluation criteria specified (impacts transparency and objectivity)
No electronic submission option
Practicality60/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the lack of electronic submission is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for bidders and the contracting authority.

No electronic submission option
Data Consistency70/100

The tender is active with no disputes. However, several fields are unpopulated ('Liable Person', procedure codes). A notable inconsistency is the contract start date being identical to the submission deadline, which is illogical for a works contract of this nature.

Liable Person field is empty
Procedure type and code are empty
Sustainability20/100

There is no mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus within the provided tender information. This indicates a complete lack of integration of sustainability criteria, which is a significant missed opportunity for public value.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear and detailed description of works
Very reasonable submission timeframe (over 9 months)
Estimated value disclosed and documents available
CPV and NUTS codes provided
Detailed technical and financial requirements

Concerns

Absence of evaluation criteria (major concern)
Lack of specified mandatory exclusion grounds
No electronic submission option
No sustainability (green, social, innovation) criteria
Inconsistent contract start date (same as submission deadline)

Recommendations

1. Immediately publish detailed evaluation criteria to ensure transparency and fairness.
2. Clarify the 'Competitive flexible procedure' and specify mandatory exclusion grounds.
3. Implement electronic submission for improved accessibility and efficiency.
