Tender Quality Score

This is an extension notice for an existing Dynamic Purchasing System, clear in its purpose but lacking critical details for new applicants, impacting completeness and fairness. While well-structured for an extension, it requires external consultation for full tender specifics.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender clearly defines the procedure as a Dynamic Purchasing System extension and uses an appropriate CPV code. Deadlines for new applications are reasonable. However, the notice itself lacks explicit details on mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements, directing bidders to original DPS documentation, which, while common for extensions, means this specific notice is not fully self-contained in terms of legal prerequisites. The classified value is also a minor transparency concern.

Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements in this notice
Estimated value classified
Clarity60/100

The description of the DPS and its lots is clear and unambiguous. However, critical information such as mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria are explicitly stated as not being in *this* extension notice, requiring reference to other documents. This significantly diminishes the clarity for a new potential supplier relying solely on this publication.

Absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria in this notice
Completeness55/100

Basic information, duration, and key characteristics are present. However, the estimated value is not disclosed, and crucial details like mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria are explicitly missing from this extension notice, necessitating consultation of original DPS documentation. This makes the notice incomplete as a standalone document for new applicants.

Estimated value not disclosed
Explicit absence of mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria in this notice
Fairness65/100

The requirements for eligibility and technical capability are generic and do not appear tailored. The provision for e-procurement supports equal access. However, the classified estimated value and the absence of evaluation criteria in this notice reduce overall transparency and could pose challenges for new suppliers in understanding the full scope and assessment process without additional research into the original DPS documentation.

Estimated value classified
Evaluation criteria not specified in this notice
Practicality70/100

The tender supports e-procurement and clearly specifies the contract duration and start date. However, the lack of a direct URL for comprehensive documentation and the classified financial value present minor practical hurdles for potential bidders seeking full information.

No direct URL for comprehensive documentation
Classified financial value
Data Consistency85/100

Key dates (contract start, duration, submission deadline) are logical and consistent, reflecting an extension of an existing system. The CPV code is appropriate. While the 'Liable Person' field is empty, and there's a minor discrepancy between 'E-Procurement' characteristic and an automated check flag (resolved by prioritizing the explicit characteristic), the core data points are largely consistent.

Empty 'Liable Person' field
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not include any explicit criteria or mentions related to green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. This indicates a missed opportunity to integrate sustainability considerations into the procurement process.

No sustainability, social, or innovation criteria mentioned

Strengths

Clear description of the Dynamic Purchasing System and its lots
Reasonable application window for new suppliers (over a year)
Supports e-procurement for equal access
Generic and untailored eligibility and technical requirements
Consistent timeline for the DPS extension

Concerns

Estimated value is classified, reducing transparency
Critical details (exclusion grounds, financial requirements, evaluation criteria) are not specified in this notice
Reliance on external original DPS documentation for full tender details
Absence of sustainability, social, or innovation criteria
Only one document (the extension notice itself) is provided, without direct links to comprehensive DPS documentation

Recommendations

1. Provide direct links to the full original DPS documentation, including all mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria, to enhance clarity and completeness for new applicants.
2. Disclose the estimated value to improve transparency and allow potential bidders to better assess the opportunity.
3. Integrate sustainability, social, and innovation criteria into future iterations or calls under the DPS to align with modern procurement best practices.
