Tender Quality Score

This tender establishes a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for digital connectivity services. While the overall purpose is clear and the submission deadline is exceptionally generous, significant gaps exist in the clarity and completeness of specific requirements and, critically, the evaluation criteria for DPS admission.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender generally complies with legal requirements for a contract notice establishing a DPS. The procedure type and CPV codes are clear, and there are no disputes. However, the 'reveal date' is missing, and specific details on mandatory exclusion and financial grounds are deferred to full tender documents, which is acceptable for a notice but could be more transparent.

Missing reveal date
Specific mandatory exclusion and financial grounds not detailed in the notice
Clarity65/100

The description of the DPS's purpose is clear. However, the AI-extracted requirements explicitly state that specific details for mandatory exclusion and financial requirements are not provided in the notice. Most significantly, evaluation criteria for admission to the DPS are entirely missing, which severely impacts clarity for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified for DPS admission
Specific financial requirements not detailed in the notice
Completeness60/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, duration, and CPV code is present. However, the tender is incomplete regarding critical details: specific mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and, most notably, the absence of any evaluation criteria for admission to the DPS.

Missing specific evaluation criteria for DPS admission
Missing detailed financial requirements in the notice
Fairness55/100

The tender benefits from an exceptionally long submission deadline, which promotes broad participation and fairness. Requirements appear generic and not tailored. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria for admission to the DPS is a significant transparency and fairness concern, as bidders cannot understand how their applications will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified for DPS admission, impacting transparency and fairness
Practicality75/100

The tender supports e-procurement, which enhances practicality. The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. While specific document URLs are not provided, the mention of 'Documents available' implies accessibility. The overall structure for a DPS is practical.

Liable Person field is empty
Data Consistency90/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical. The contract start date (2023-08-13) being in the past is consistent with the nature of a DPS, which can be established and then open for admissions over a long period. There are no reported disputes or suspensions.

Liable Person field is empty
Sustainability50/100

The tender explicitly highlights an 'Innovation Focus,' which is a positive aspect. However, there is no mention of specific green procurement criteria or social aspects, limiting its overall sustainability score.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No explicit social criteria

Strengths

Clear purpose and scope for the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS)
Exceptionally generous submission deadline (over two years away)
Estimated value disclosed and E-Procurement enabled
Good data consistency for key fields and logical dates
Explicitly states an 'Innovation Focus'

Concerns

Complete absence of specific evaluation criteria for DPS admission
Lack of detailed mandatory exclusion and financial requirements in the notice
Missing 'Liable Person' and 'reveal date'
No explicit green or social procurement criteria mentioned
Reliance on 'full tender documents' for critical details, reducing immediate transparency

Recommendations

1. Clearly define and publish the evaluation criteria for admission to the Dynamic Purchasing System.
2. Provide more specific details regarding mandatory exclusion and financial requirements within the contract notice or a readily accessible summary document.
3. Integrate explicit green and social procurement criteria where relevant to enhance the tender's sustainability profile.
