Tender Quality Score

This tender exhibits significant deficiencies in critical areas such as legal compliance, clarity, completeness, and fairness, primarily due to missing fundamental information like evaluation criteria and mandatory exclusion grounds. While basic information is present, the lack of detail and modern procurement features like e-submission are notable concerns.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance50/100

The tender lacks specified mandatory exclusion grounds, which is a fundamental legal requirement. The absence of a reveal date prevents a full assessment of the reasonableness of the submission period from publication, impacting legal compliance regarding deadlines.

Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing tender reveal date (prevents full assessment of deadline reasonableness)
Clarity45/100

A significant concern is the explicit absence of evaluation criteria, making it challenging for potential bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed. While the general description is clear, detailed eligibility and technical requirements are also lacking.

No evaluation criteria specified
Lack of detailed eligibility and technical requirements
Completeness40/100

Key elements such as evaluation criteria, specific eligibility requirements, and mandatory exclusion grounds are missing. There is also a minor currency discrepancy between the estimated value (EUR) and the document summary (GBP).

Missing evaluation criteria
Missing specific eligibility requirements
Fairness35/100

The lack of specified evaluation criteria severely compromises the objectivity and transparency of the procurement process, making it difficult for bidders to compete fairly. The absence of electronic submission also limits equal access for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
No electronic submission supported
Practicality55/100

The tender does not support electronic submission, which is a significant practical limitation for a modern procurement process in 2026, potentially increasing administrative burden for bidders.

No electronic submission supported
Data Consistency80/100

While most key fields are populated and dates are logical, minor inconsistencies exist, such as an empty 'Liable Person' field, 'N/A' codes for procedure type, and a currency discrepancy in the estimated value.

Empty 'Liable Person' field
'N/A' codes for Type/Procedure
Sustainability65/100

The tender's subject matter (EV charge points) inherently contributes to environmental sustainability, and an 'Innovation Focus' is noted. However, explicit green procurement criteria or social aspects are not detailed within the tender information.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No social criteria
