Tender Quality Score

This tender establishes a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Linen and Laundry services, demonstrating good legal structure and broad scope, but the provided notice lacks detailed requirements and evaluation criteria, deferring them to external documentation.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender correctly identifies itself as a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) under a restricted procedure, which is a legally recognized procurement tool. The CPV code is appropriate, and there are no reported disputes. However, the notice defers many mandatory disclosure details (exclusion, eligibility, technical, financial requirements) to 'full DPS documentation', which, while common for a DPS notice, means this specific document is not fully self-contained.

Many detailed requirements are deferred to external 'full DPS documentation' not directly provided in this notice.
Clarity60/100

The overall purpose, scope, and regions of the DPS are clearly described. However, the notice explicitly states that specific mandatory exclusion grounds, technical capabilities, financial requirements, and submission forms are not detailed within it, referring bidders to external documentation. Crucially, evaluation criteria are also not specified, significantly impacting the clarity for potential applicants.

Lack of specific mandatory exclusion grounds, technical, financial, and submission requirements within the notice.
Evaluation criteria for joining the DPS are not specified.
Completeness65/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, description, estimated value, and key dates (DPS start, submission deadline) are present. However, the notice is incomplete regarding the detailed requirements (exclusion, eligibility, technical, financial) and evaluation criteria, which are all explicitly stated as being in the 'full DPS documentation' not provided here.

Absence of detailed mandatory exclusion, eligibility, technical, and financial requirements.
Evaluation criteria are not defined in the notice.
Fairness70/100

The DPS structure generally promotes fairness by allowing continuous entry for suppliers. The estimated value is disclosed, and e-procurement is indicated. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria for joining the DPS and the absence of a direct link or provision of the 'full DPS documentation' raise concerns about transparency and equal access to all necessary information. No evidence of tailored requirements was found.

Evaluation criteria for joining the DPS are not specified, impacting transparency.
Full DPS documentation, containing critical details, is not directly provided or linked in the notice.
Practicality60/100

E-Procurement is listed as a characteristic, which is positive for practicality. However, a significant practical drawback is the absence of a direct URL or clear instructions on how to access the 'full DPS documentation' which contains all the essential requirements. There is also a contradiction between 'E-Procurement' and the automated check's 'No e-submission' flag.

No direct URL or clear guidance for accessing the 'full DPS documentation'.
Contradiction between 'E-Procurement' characteristic and 'No e-submission' automated flag.
Data Consistency80/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates related to the DPS duration and submission deadline are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The main inconsistency lies in the 'E-Procurement' characteristic conflicting with the 'No e-submission' automated check result, and the 'Liable Person' field being empty.

Contradiction between 'E-Procurement' characteristic and 'No e-submission' automated flag.
The 'Liable Person' field is empty.
Sustainability20/100

The tender notice does not include any explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. This represents a missed opportunity for a high-value, long-term public procurement initiative to drive sustainability objectives.

No explicit mention of green procurement criteria.
No inclusion of social aspects or considerations.

Strengths

Clear description of the DPS purpose, scope, and regions.
High estimated value disclosed, indicating significant opportunity.
Utilizes a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for continuous supplier entry.

E-Procurement is indicated, promoting accessibility.

Concerns

Lack of detailed requirements (exclusion, eligibility, technical, financial) within the notice.
Absence of specified evaluation criteria for joining the DPS.
No direct link or clear guidance to access the 'full DPS documentation'.
No explicit integration of sustainability (green, social, innovation) criteria.
Contradiction regarding e-submission functionality.

Recommendations

1. Provide a direct URL or clear instructions on how to access the 'full DPS documentation' within the tender notice.
2. Include a summary of the evaluation criteria for joining the DPS in the notice to enhance transparency.
