Tender Quality Score

This tender provides clear basic information but suffers from significant deficiencies in detailed requirements and, critically, the complete absence of evaluation criteria, posing risks to fairness and transparency.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance65/100

While the procedure type and CPV codes are correct, and the submission window is reasonable (19 days), the absence of specific mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, and financial requirements in the summary raises concerns about full legal compliance and transparency principles.

No specific mandatory exclusion grounds detailed in the provided information.
No specific eligibility requirements detailed.
Clarity45/100

The service description is clear, but the AI-extracted technical requirements are very vague ('high-quality service'), and crucially, evaluation criteria are explicitly missing, making it difficult for bidders to understand expectations.

Vague technical capability requirements.
No evaluation criteria specified.
Completeness55/100

Basic administrative information is complete, but critical elements such as detailed eligibility, financial, and technical requirements, and especially evaluation criteria, are either missing or insufficiently defined.

Missing detailed eligibility, financial, and technical requirements.
Missing evaluation criteria.
Fairness45/100

The complete absence of evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as it introduces subjectivity into the award process. The lack of e-submission also limits equal access for potential bidders.

Missing evaluation criteria, leading to a lack of transparency in assessment.
No electronic submission option, potentially hindering equal access.
Practicality65/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the absence of electronic submission is a significant practical drawback for bidders.

No electronic submission supported.
Data Consistency90/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. Minor inconsistencies include an empty 'Liable Person' field and 'N/A' codes for procedure type.

Liable Person field is empty.
Procedure type codes are 'N/A'.
Sustainability25/100

The tender does not include any explicit green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus, indicating a missed opportunity for broader public value.

Not green procurement.
No social criteria.

Strengths

Clear service description and division into lots.
Estimated value, duration, and contract start date are specified.
CPV and NUTS codes are correctly assigned.
No active disputes or suspensions.
Documents are available (though only one summarized).

Concerns

Missing specific mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, and financial requirements.
Vague technical capability requirements.
Crucially, no evaluation criteria are specified.
No electronic submission option.
Absence of sustainability, social, or innovation considerations.

Recommendations

1. Immediately publish detailed evaluation criteria to ensure transparency and fairness.
