Tender Quality Score

This tender for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for electrical materials is generally well-structured for admission, but lacks critical details regarding evaluation criteria for subsequent contracts and sustainability aspects.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender references relevant UK procurement regulations and uses a recognized procedure (DPS). The CPV code is appropriate, and there are no disputes. However, the reveal date is missing, and there's a slight ambiguity in classifying a DPS as a 'Restricted procedure'.

Missing reveal date
Slight ambiguity in procedure type (Restricted vs. DPS)
Clarity65/100

The AI-extracted requirements for DPS admission are clear and well-categorized. However, the overall description is brief, and the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria for subsequent contracts under the DPS significantly impacts overall clarity.

No evaluation criteria specified for subsequent contracts under the DPS
Brief general description of the DPS
Completeness60/100

Most basic information, including title, organization, value, duration, and CPV, is present. However, the tender is incomplete due to the missing reveal date and, more significantly, the absence of evaluation criteria for subsequent contracts.

Missing evaluation criteria for subsequent contracts
Missing reveal date
Fairness70/100

The tender promotes fairness through e-procurement, disclosed value, and generic, non-tailored requirements. The long submission period from today's date is also fair. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria for subsequent contracts under the DPS reduces transparency and objectivity for bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified for subsequent contracts
Practicality75/100

Electronic submission via the ProContract portal is supported, and the contract duration is clearly specified. However, a direct document URL is not provided, and the contract start date is missing, which could slightly hinder practical access and planning.

No direct document URL provided
Contract start date not specified
Data Consistency80/100

Key fields are largely populated and consistent, with no disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include the classification of a DPS as a 'Restricted procedure' and the empty 'Liable Person' field.

Inconsistent procedure classification (Restricted vs. DPS)
Empty 'Liable Person' field
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not explicitly incorporate any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. This represents a missed opportunity to promote sustainable practices within the supply chain.

Absence of green procurement criteria
Absence of social criteria

Concerns

2. Enhance the tender description with more detailed information on the scope, requirements, and expectations of the DPS.
3. Integrate specific sustainability criteria (environmental, social, innovation) into the procurement process to align with modern best practices.
