Tender Quality Score

This tender exhibits significant deficiencies, primarily due to the absence of actual tender document content and critical evaluation criteria, severely impacting its completeness and fairness. While basic information is present, fundamental legal and practical elements are missing or inconsistent.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance50/100

The tender lacks specified mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria, which are fundamental for legal compliance. The reveal date is also missing, preventing a full assessment of the submission period from publication. However, the procedure type and CPV code are correctly defined, and no disputes are reported.

Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing financial requirements
Clarity50/100

The description of services and AI-extracted eligibility/technical requirements are clear. However, the critical absence of evaluation criteria makes it unclear how bids will be assessed, and performance conditions are only vaguely stated as 'successful outcomes'.

No evaluation criteria specified
Vague performance conditions
Completeness30/100

While basic information like title, reference, organization, value, and duration are present, the tender is critically incomplete due to the absence of actual tender document content (0 documents with content/summaries). Key requirements like mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria are also missing.

No actual tender document content available
Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Fairness35/100

Fairness is severely compromised by the lack of full document access and the absence of specified evaluation criteria, making the assessment process opaque. The lack of e-submission also presents a barrier to equal access, although the requirements themselves do not appear tailored.

No full document access (no document content)
No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality40/100

The tender suffers from a lack of e-submission functionality and no document URL, creating practical hurdles for bidders. While the contract start date and duration are specified, the overall practical accessibility is low.

No e-submission
No document URL provided
Data Consistency45/100

There are several data inconsistencies, including an empty 'Liable Person' field, missing codes for 'Type' and 'Procedure', and conflicting submission deadlines (main vs. AI-extracted). Most notably, the contract start date is identical to the submission deadline, which is illogical.

Inconsistent submission deadlines
Illogical contract start date (same as submission deadline)
Sustainability20/100

The tender completely lacks any mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not EU funded, indicating a missed opportunity to incorporate broader sustainability objectives.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear description of services required
Estimated value and duration are specified
CPV code is correctly assigned
Requirements are not tailored to a specific company
No disputes or suspensions reported

Concerns

No actual tender document content provided
Missing evaluation criteria and mandatory exclusion grounds
Inconsistent and illogical dates (submission vs. contract start)
Lack of e-submission functionality
Absence of sustainability considerations

Recommendations

2. Clarify and correct all date inconsistencies, ensuring a realistic timeline for evaluation and contract award.
3. Implement e-submission to enhance accessibility and fairness for bidders and specify mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements as per regulations.
