Tender Quality Score

This tender notice, currently in "planning" status, provides a clear service description but suffers from critical omissions including the procurement procedure type, evaluation criteria, and the complete absence of actual tender document content, severely hindering transparency and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance65/100

The tender lacks a defined procedure type and explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, which are fundamental legal requirements. The classified value also impacts transparency. However, the CPV code is appropriate, and the submission deadline is reasonable (41 days).

Missing procurement procedure type
Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Clarity60/100

While the service description and AI-extracted technical requirements are clear, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a significant clarity flaw. Performance conditions are implied but not explicitly detailed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Performance conditions not explicitly detailed
Completeness40/100

This tender is highly incomplete due to the critical absence of content for the attached documents (0/4 processed). Key information such as the procedure type, evaluation criteria, and explicit financial requirements are also missing.

No content available for attached tender documents
Missing procurement procedure type
Fairness30/100

Fairness is severely compromised by the lack of access to actual tender document content, the classified estimated value, and the complete absence of evaluation criteria. The stated lack of e-submission also creates barriers to equal access.

No document content available
Estimated value not disclosed (classified)
Practicality50/100

The absence of electronic submission is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement. While contract duration and start date are known, the classified value and lack of explicit financial requirements reduce practicality for bidders.

No electronic submission (e-submission)
Financing information (estimated value) not disclosed
Data Consistency60/100

Several key fields, such as 'Type', 'Procedure', 'Liable Person', and the disclosed 'Estimated Value', are either missing or marked as 'None'. However, dates are logical and consistent, and there are no reported disputes.

Missing 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields
Missing 'Liable Person'
Sustainability20/100

There is no explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus within the provided tender information.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria
