Tender Quality Score

Overall, this tender has a clear social objective, but significant deficiencies in evaluation criteria and e-submission capabilities reduce its quality and fairness. It presents a good initiative with notable procedural gaps.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

Legal compliance is generally good, with a clearly defined procedure, appropriate CPV code, and no disputes. However, the missing reveal date and lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds in the summary are minor disclosure issues.

Missing reveal date
No specific mandatory exclusion grounds detailed in summary
Clarity60/100

The description and AI-extracted requirements are clear and understandable. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly hinders the clarity for potential bidders, making it difficult to understand how proposals will be judged.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness65/100

Basic information, financial details, timeline, and location are well-provided. However, the tender lacks specified evaluation criteria, which is a major omission. Additionally, only one of four tender documents is summarized, suggesting potential gaps in the provided information for a full assessment.

No evaluation criteria specified
Only one of four tender documents summarized
Fairness40/100

The tender's value is disclosed, and requirements do not appear tailored to a specific company. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria severely compromises transparency and objectivity. Furthermore, the lack of e-submission limits equal access for all potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission
Practicality55/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the lack of electronic submission support and the absence of a direct document URL in the basic information present practical hurdles for bidders.

No e-submission
No document URL provided in basic information
Data Consistency80/100

Key data fields are mostly populated, and dates are logical and consistent. Minor inconsistencies include an empty 'Liable Person' field and 'N/A' codes for procedure types, but these do not significantly impact overall data integrity.
