Tender Quality Score

The overall quality of this tender is moderate; while it benefits from e-procurement and clear basic requirements, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly impacts its transparency and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The procedure type (Restricted, specifically a DPS) and CPV codes are correctly assigned, and there are no reported disputes. The missing reveal date is a data gap in the provided summary, but the submission deadline is far in the future, suggesting ample preparation time. The lack of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds in the summary is a minor concern, but these are expected in the full documents.

Missing reveal date in the provided summary
Specific mandatory exclusion grounds not detailed in the summary
Clarity55/100

The description and AI-extracted requirements for eligibility, technical capability, financial capacity, and submission are clear. However, the explicit absence of specified evaluation criteria is a major clarity issue, making it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed. Mandatory exclusion grounds also lack detail in the summary.

No evaluation criteria specified
Specific mandatory exclusion grounds not detailed in the summary
Completeness60/100

Most basic information, including title, organization, reference, estimated value, and duration, is present. However, the critical omission of evaluation criteria and the lack of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided summary significantly reduce the completeness of the tender information.

Missing evaluation criteria
Specific mandatory exclusion grounds not detailed in the summary
Fairness45/100

The explicit lack of specified evaluation criteria is a severe fairness concern, as it prevents bidders from understanding the basis of assessment and preparing competitive proposals. While requirements appear generic and e-procurement is enabled, this fundamental transparency gap undermines the fairness of the process.

No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality70/100

Electronic submission is supported, and the contract duration is clearly specified. The summary indicates where to access full procurement documents, implying practical access. However, the contract start date is not explicitly stated, and a direct document URL is not provided in the summary.

Contract start date not explicitly stated
Document URL not directly provided in summary
Data Consistency80/100

Key fields are largely populated, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include the ambiguity of 'Value Classified: Yes' alongside a disclosed estimated value, and the absence of a 'Liable Person' and 'reveal date'. The 'E-Procurement' characteristic contradicts the 'No e-submission' automated check, but the characteristic is prioritized.

'Value Classified: Yes' alongside disclosed estimated value is ambiguous
'Liable Person' field is empty
Sustainability20/100

There is no indication of any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus within the provided tender information. This represents a significant area for improvement in aligning with modern public procurement best practices.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria
