Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear description of the required services and practical access for bidders, but it suffers from significant omissions regarding evaluation criteria, which severely impacts fairness and completeness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The procedure type and CPV code are clearly defined and appropriate. However, the missing tender reveal date and the contradictory 'Value Classified: Yes' flag (despite the value being provided) represent transparency and disclosure issues.

Missing tender reveal date
Contradictory 'Value Classified: Yes' flag
Clarity80/100

The service description is exceptionally clear and unambiguous, and the AI-extracted requirements are well-documented and understandable. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly hinders bidders' understanding of how proposals will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Basic information, deadlines, value, duration, and location are all provided. However, the critical absence of evaluation criteria is a major completeness gap. Additionally, only one of four tender documents has a summary, suggesting potential for further missing context.

Missing evaluation criteria
Only one of four tender documents summarized
Fairness60/100

Full document access via the e-sourcing portal, electronic submission, and generic requirements contribute positively to fairness. However, the complete lack of objective and transparent evaluation criteria is a significant barrier to fair competition, as bidders cannot understand the basis of award.

Missing evaluation criteria
Practicality85/100

Electronic submission is supported, direct URLs to the portal are provided, and the contract start date and duration are clearly specified. This makes the tender highly practical for potential bidders.

Data Consistency65/100

While most key fields are populated and dates are logical, there are notable inconsistencies. These include the missing tender reveal date, the currency discrepancy (EUR in basic info vs. GBP in document summary), and the contradiction between 'Estimated Value' and 'Value Classified: Yes'.

Missing tender reveal date
Currency inconsistency (EUR vs GBP)
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not include any explicit green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.

No green procurement aspects
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear and detailed service description
Well-defined technical and eligibility requirements
Electronic submission and portal access provided

Concerns
