Tender Quality Score

This tender exhibits significant deficiencies in clarity, completeness, and fairness due to the explicit lack of detailed requirements and evaluation criteria, alongside a notable inconsistency in the estimated value's currency.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance65/100

The tender lacks specific mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, and financial requirements in the provided summary, which are fundamental for legal compliance. The missing reveal date also prevents a full assessment of reasonable preparation time.

Missing reveal date
No specific mandatory exclusion grounds detailed
Clarity40/100

While the general description is clear, the AI-extracted requirements are explicitly not comprehensive, lacking specifics for exclusion, eligibility, financial, and detailed technical criteria. Crucially, no evaluation criteria are specified, severely impacting clarity for bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Generic technical capability requirements
Completeness45/100

Despite having basic information, the tender is significantly incomplete due to the explicit absence of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria. A discrepancy in the estimated value's currency (EUR vs GBP) also affects completeness.

No evaluation criteria specified
Lack of specific mandatory exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements
Fairness35/100

The absence of specified evaluation criteria is a critical fairness flaw, as it introduces subjectivity into the assessment process. The value discrepancy and generic technical requirements, coupled with the lack of other specific requirements, further undermine transparency and equal opportunity for bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Estimated value currency discrepancy (EUR vs GBP)
Practicality70/100

Electronic submission via eTenderWales is supported, and key contract dates and duration are clearly specified. The primary practical concern is the inconsistency in the estimated value's currency, which could lead to confusion for potential bidders.

Estimated value currency discrepancy (EUR vs GBP)
Data Consistency55/100

A significant inconsistency exists in the estimated value, stated as 720,000.00 EUR in basic info but £600,000 in the document summary. The 'Liable Person' field is empty, and the missing reveal date also contributes to data gaps.
