Tender Quality Score

This tender establishes a Dynamic Purchasing System for cleaning subcontractors, notably focusing on SMEs, and benefits from e-procurement. However, it significantly lacks transparency due to an undisclosed estimated value and, critically, the absence of specified evaluation criteria, alongside overly general requirements.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure as a DPS and correctly assigns the CPV code. Mandatory exclusion grounds are mentioned. However, the 'Restricted (Code: N/A)' is vague, a liable person is missing, and the absence of detailed evaluation criteria is a significant concern for compliance with transparency principles.

Missing liable person
Procedure type code 'N/A' is vague
Clarity60/100

The overall purpose and description are clear, including the focus on SMEs. However, the AI-extracted requirements are very general, lacking specific metrics or thresholds for technical and financial capabilities. Crucially, the tender explicitly states 'No evaluation criteria specified', which is a major deficiency in clarity.

No evaluation criteria specified
Technical and financial requirements are too general
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, deadlines, and duration are provided. CPV and NUTS codes are present. However, the estimated value is classified, the liable person is missing, and the critical absence of evaluation criteria makes the tender incomplete. The 'Required: No' for the Official PDF Version is also concerning.

Estimated value not disclosed
Missing liable person
Fairness65/100

The DPS structure, focus on SMEs, 'Divided into Parts' characteristic, and e-procurement support fairness. The long submission period for the DPS also allows ample time. However, the classified value reduces transparency, and the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria is a major impediment to objective and transparent assessment, significantly impacting fairness.

Estimated value not disclosed
No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality65/100

Electronic submission is supported, and the contract duration is clearly specified. However, the contract start date is not known, and financing information (estimated value) is unavailable. While documents are available, an explicit URL is not provided in the basic information.

Contract start date not known
Financing information (estimated value) not available
Data Consistency90/100

Most key fields are populated, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. Dates are logical and consistent. Minor inconsistencies include the missing liable person and the 'N/A' codes for procedure type, but these do not impact core data integrity.

Missing liable person
Procedure type code 'N/A' is vague
Sustainability50/100

The tender explicitly focuses on partnering with Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and is 'Divided into Parts', which are strong social sustainability aspects. However, there is no mention of green procurement initiatives or innovation focus.

No green procurement criteria mentioned
No innovation focus mentioned

Strengths

Establishment of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for continuous access
Explicit focus on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and 'Divided into Parts'
Clear CPV code and national scope
E-Procurement enabled
Long submission period for DPS applications

Concerns

Estimated value is not disclosed (classified)
No evaluation criteria specified, which is a major transparency and fairness issue
Requirements for technical and financial capability are very general, lacking specific metrics
Missing liable person and 'reveal date'
The 'Official PDF Version' is marked as 'Required: No', which is unusual and could imply incomplete access to critical documents

Recommendations

1. Publish detailed evaluation criteria, including specific metrics and weighting for technical and financial capabilities, to ensure transparency and fairness.
2. Disclose the estimated value of potential contracts under the DPS to provide bidders with better context for their investment.
3. Clarify the status of the 'Official PDF Version' and ensure all essential tender documents are clearly accessible and marked as required.
