Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear description of the required consultancy services and technical capabilities but suffers from a critical lack of explicit evaluation criteria, which significantly impacts fairness and transparency.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code clearly, and the 15-day submission window is reasonable for a below-threshold contract. However, the absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements for bidders, and especially evaluation criteria in the provided information represents a notable compliance gap for public procurement.

•Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds
•Missing explicit financial requirements for bidders
Clarity80/100

The service description and AI-extracted technical requirements are detailed and unambiguous, clearly outlining the expertise needed. The primary deficiency is the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria, making it unclear how bids will be assessed.

•No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Basic information, deadlines, value, and duration are well-defined. Technical and eligibility requirements are also comprehensive. However, the tender is incomplete due to the missing evaluation criteria, lack of explicit financial requirements for bidders, and the unelaborated 'Divided into Parts' characteristic.

•Missing evaluation criteria
•No explicit financial requirements for bidders
Fairness55/100

While the value is disclosed and the submission period is reasonable, the complete absence of evaluation criteria severely undermines transparency and fairness. The highly specific technical requirements, particularly regarding NCAP understanding and consistency with previous reports, raise concerns about potential tailoring that could limit competition. The flagged lack of e-submission also reduces equal access.

•No evaluation criteria specified
•Highly specific technical requirements (NCAP, consistency, Power BI) potentially tailored
Practicality65/100

Key practical details like contract start date and duration are provided. However, the flagged absence of electronic submission support is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially complicating the bidding process.

•No e-submission (as flagged)
Data Consistency90/100

The tender exhibits good data consistency with logical dates and populated key fields. Minor inconsistencies include the mention of 'Divided into Parts' without detail and duplicated description text.

•'Divided into Parts' not detailed
•Duplicated description
Sustainability50/100

The tender does not include any explicit criteria related to green procurement, social aspects, or innovation, which is a missed opportunity for broader public value.

•No green procurement
•No social criteria

Strengths

Clear and detailed description of required services
Comprehensive technical capability requirements
All essential basic information (value, deadlines, duration) provided
Value disclosed, promoting transparency
Specific CPV and NUTS codes assigned

Concerns

Critical absence of explicit evaluation criteria
Potential for tailored requirements limiting competition
Lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements for bidders
Absence of electronic submission support
No integration of sustainability or social aspects

Recommendations

1. Publish clear and objective evaluation criteria to ensure transparency and fairness.
2. Review and broaden technical requirements to avoid potential tailoring and encourage wider competition.
3. Implement full electronic submission capabilities for improved accessibility and efficiency.
