Tender Quality Score

This tender demonstrates good intent, particularly in promoting SME participation, but suffers from critical omissions regarding evaluation criteria and the tender's reveal date, impacting transparency and legal compliance.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender clearly defines the open procedure and assigns an appropriate CPV code. However, the absence of a reveal date makes it impossible to verify compliance with minimum tender periods, and mandatory exclusion grounds are not explicitly detailed in the provided summary, posing a legal risk.

Missing tender reveal date
Mandatory exclusion grounds not explicitly detailed
Clarity80/100

The tender description is clear and unambiguous, and the AI-extracted requirements are understandable. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly reduces clarity for potential bidders regarding how their proposals will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Performance conditions not explicitly detailed
Completeness70/100

Basic information, financial details, and timeline are well-specified. Requirements are outlined, but the crucial omission of evaluation criteria represents a significant gap in completeness. While 4 documents are mentioned, only one summary is provided, limiting the full scope of analysis.

Missing evaluation criteria
Only one document content summary provided out of four
Fairness85/100

The tender promotes fairness by dividing the framework into geographical lots to encourage SME participation and enables e-procurement. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria severely undermines transparency and objectivity, making it difficult for bidders to prepare competitive and relevant proposals.

No evaluation criteria specified
Missing tender reveal date impacts ability to confirm reasonable preparation time
Practicality65/100

Electronic submission is indicated as a characteristic, which is practical. Key dates and financial information are available. However, the absence of a direct URL to the tender documents creates a practical hurdle for interested parties.

Document URL not provided
Data Consistency90/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include an empty 'Liable Person' field and 'N/A' codes for procedure type, along with a contradiction between 'E-Procurement' characteristic and the automated check's 'No e-submission' flag.

Liable Person field is empty
Contradiction regarding e-submission between characteristics and automated check
