Tender Quality Score

This tender for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for forestry services provides clear scope and basic information but suffers from significant omissions regarding mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and crucial evaluation criteria, impacting legal compliance, clarity, completeness, and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance65/100

The absence of specified mandatory exclusion grounds is a significant legal compliance issue. While the procedure type is a DPS, the 'N/A' codes for type and procedure are minor details. No disputes or suspensions are noted.

Mandatory exclusion grounds are not specified.
Clarity55/100

While the service description and some requirements are clear, the complete absence of evaluation criteria, financial requirements, and mandatory exclusion grounds significantly reduces the overall clarity for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria are specified.
Financial requirements are not specified.
Completeness55/100

Despite having basic information, the tender is incomplete due to the critical omissions of mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria, which are essential for a comprehensive tender package.

Missing 'Liable Person' information.
Mandatory exclusion grounds are not specified.
Fairness55/100

The lack of specified evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as it undermines transparency and equal treatment for all potential applicants. Requirements appear generic, which is positive, but the assessment process is unclear.

No evaluation criteria are specified, impacting transparency and equal treatment.
Practicality65/100

The tender indicates E-Procurement, which is practical, but this contradicts an automated check flagging 'No e-submission'. Assuming e-procurement is supported, other practical elements like duration and value are clear. No explicit document URL is provided.

Contradiction regarding e-submission support (E-Procurement characteristic vs. automated check 'No e-submission').
Data Consistency60/100

Several inconsistencies exist, including a currency mismatch (EUR vs. GBP) for the estimated value and the contradiction regarding e-submission. Key fields like 'Liable Person', mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria are also missing.

Currency inconsistency for estimated value (EUR vs. GBP).
Contradiction regarding e-submission support.
