Tender Quality Score

This tender for a Dynamic Purchasing System is generally well-structured with clear objectives, but suffers from significant gaps in detailed requirements and data consistency, particularly regarding evaluation criteria and timeline clarity.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender clearly defines the procedure type (DPS/Open) and assigns an appropriate CPV code. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria is a legal transparency concern, and the past 'Contract Start' date, while potentially referring to the DPS establishment, lacks immediate clarity for a new tender notice.

Missing specific evaluation criteria
Past 'Contract Start' date creates ambiguity
Clarity60/100

The overall description and purpose of the DPS are clear and unambiguous. However, critical details such as specific evaluation criteria, detailed financial requirements, and mandatory exclusion grounds are only mentioned as headings or are entirely missing from the provided summary, significantly impacting clarity for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Financial and mandatory exclusion grounds are not detailed
Completeness70/100

Most basic information like title, reference, organization, value, and duration are provided. However, the tender is incomplete regarding detailed evaluation criteria and specific financial requirements. The 'Required: No' for the main PDF document is also confusing.

Missing detailed evaluation criteria
Financial requirements are not specified beyond a heading
Fairness65/100

The tender's value is disclosed, and requirements appear generic, not tailored to a specific company. The use of a DPS and division into parts promotes broader participation. However, the explicit lack of specified evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as bidders cannot objectively assess their chances or prepare effectively. The contradiction regarding e-submission also impacts equal access.

No evaluation criteria specified, impacting transparency and objectivity
Contradiction regarding e-submission functionality
Practicality60/100

The tender states 'E-Procurement' as a characteristic, which is positive for practicality, but this is contradicted by an automated check indicating 'No e-submission'. This inconsistency is a significant practical hurdle. The 'Contract Start' date being in the past also creates confusion regarding the operational timeline of the DPS from a current perspective.

Contradiction regarding e-submission functionality
Past 'Contract Start' date creates timeline confusion
Data Consistency65/100

While many key fields are populated, there are notable inconsistencies. The 'Contract Start' date (2022-04-10) is in the past relative to today's date (2026-01-18), which is confusing for a currently active tender. A significant contradiction exists between the 'E-Procurement' characteristic and the 'No e-submission' automated check. The 'Liable Person' field is also empty.

Inconsistent 'Contract Start' date (in the past)
Contradiction between 'E-Procurement' characteristic and 'No e-submission' check
Sustainability50/100

The tender's core service (temporary accommodation for homeless households) inherently addresses a significant social need. However, the tender documentation does not explicitly include broader green procurement, social criteria (beyond the service itself), or innovation focus for the providers, representing a missed opportunity for enhanced sustainability integration.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No explicit innovation focus

Strengths

Clear purpose and description of the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS).
Estimated value is disclosed and not classified, promoting transparency.
Utilizes a DPS, allowing continuous applications and flexibility for providers.
Explicitly states 'Divided into Parts', which can encourage SME participation.
CPV code is appropriately assigned.

Concerns

Missing specific evaluation criteria for both DPS admission and mini-competitions.
The 'Contract Start' date is in the past, creating confusion about the tender's lifecycle.
Contradiction between 'E-Procurement' characteristic and 'No e-submission' automated check.
Lack of detailed financial and mandatory exclusion ground requirements in the summary.
Absence of explicit green, social (beyond the service itself), or innovation criteria.

Recommendations

1. Clearly define and publish all evaluation criteria for both DPS admission and subsequent mini-competitions.
2. Clarify the 'Contract Start' date in relation to the DPS establishment and application period.
3. Resolve the contradiction regarding e-submission functionality to ensure clarity for bidders.
