Tender Quality Score

This tender exhibits significant deficiencies in completeness, clarity, and fairness, primarily due to a critical lack of detailed documentation and evaluation criteria, alongside multiple data inconsistencies. While basic information is present, the overall quality is moderate to poor.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance60/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code appropriately for a 'below threshold - open competition'. However, the 'Missing reveal date' is a concern for assessing the actual notice period, and the absence of comprehensive tender documents raises questions about full compliance with transparency principles. The 16-day period from today's date to the submission deadline is generally acceptable for an expression of interest.

Missing reveal date
Lack of comprehensive tender documents beyond a basic notice
Clarity45/100

The core service description is clear, but detailed requirements, performance conditions, and crucially, evaluation criteria are missing. There are also minor inconsistencies in contract duration and start date, and a significant ambiguity regarding the currency (£ vs EUR). The AI-extracted requirements highlight the lack of specific detail.

Missing evaluation criteria
Lack of detailed technical and performance requirements
Completeness35/100

While basic metadata is provided, the tender is critically incomplete regarding essential documentation. Only one document is summarized, marked 'Required: No', suggesting a severe absence of full tender specifications, terms, and conditions. Evaluation criteria and specific mandatory exclusion grounds are also missing.

Critical lack of comprehensive tender documents and specifications
Missing evaluation criteria
Fairness35/100

The absence of explicit evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, potentially leading to subjective selection. The lack of full document access and the 'No e-submission' flag also hinder equal access and transparency for potential bidders. Requirements are generic, but the lack of detail could allow for non-objective assessment.

Missing evaluation criteria, impacting transparency and objectivity
Lack of full document access for bidders
Practicality45/100

The tender lacks support for electronic submission, which is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement. Inconsistencies in contract start date, duration, and currency create practical confusion for bidders. A direct document URL is not explicitly provided.

No electronic submission support
Inconsistent contract start date and duration
Data Consistency30/100

Multiple critical inconsistencies are present, including the estimated value currency (EUR vs GBP), the contract duration (3 months vs 10 weeks), and the contract start date (March 19 vs April). The 'Value Classified: Yes' alongside a disclosed value is also contradictory.

Inconsistent currency for estimated value (EUR vs GBP)
Inconsistent contract duration (3 months vs 10 weeks)
Sustainability20/100

The tender makes no mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. This indicates a complete lack of integration of sustainability considerations.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria
