Tender Quality Score

This tender is generally well-structured but presents notable gaps in documentation accessibility and the detail of evaluation criteria. While basic information is clear, critical detailed requirements are not fully presented or easily accessible.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The procedure type and CPV code are clear, and no disputes are reported. However, the absence of a reveal date for the tender and the lack of specific mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided text are notable. The 'Official PDF Version' being marked as 'Required: No' is also a concern for full legal disclosure.

Missing reveal date
No specific mandatory exclusion grounds detailed
Clarity80/100

The project description and high-level requirements are clear. Evaluation weightings (60% quality, 40% cost) are specified. However, detailed sub-criteria for quality evaluation and comprehensive technical specifications are not explicitly provided in the AI-extracted content, which could lead to ambiguity.

Lack of detailed sub-criteria for quality evaluation
Detailed technical specifications not explicitly provided in AI summary
Completeness70/100

Basic information, financial details, timeline, and classification are largely present. However, the 'Liable Person' is missing. Crucially, only one of four tender documents has a summary, and the 'Official PDF Version' is marked as 'Required: No', indicating potential gaps in accessible detailed documentation. Full mandatory exclusion/selection criteria are also not detailed.

Missing 'Liable Person'
Only 1 of 4 documents summarized
Fairness85/100

The tender uses an open procedure, discloses the estimated value, and enables e-procurement, promoting equal access. Requirements are generic and not tailored. The 29-day submission period from today is reasonable. However, the lack of detailed sub-criteria for quality evaluation and the 'Official PDF Version' being marked 'Required: No' could hinder fair and informed bid preparation.

Lack of detailed sub-criteria for quality evaluation
'Official PDF Version' marked as 'Required: No'
Practicality65/100

Electronic submission is supported, and key dates (contract start, duration) are provided. Document URLs are available. However, the fact that only one document is summarized and the main PDF is marked 'Required: No' suggests potential practical hurdles for bidders to access all necessary detailed information easily. Detailed financing information beyond the estimated value is also absent.

Only 1 of 4 documents summarized
'Official PDF Version' marked as 'Required: No'
Data Consistency90/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include 'Value Classified: Yes' despite an explicit value, and the 'Liable Person' field being empty.

'Value Classified: Yes' contradicts explicit value
Missing 'Liable Person'
Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is not indicated as EU-funded.

No explicit sustainability, social, or innovation criteria

Strengths

Clear project description and objective
Open procedure with disclosed estimated value
Electronic submission via a dedicated portal
Clear evaluation weighting (60% quality, 40% cost)
Appropriate CPV code and NUTS code provided

Concerns

Lack of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided text
'Official PDF Version' marked as 'Required: No' and only 1 of 4 documents summarized, hindering full document access
Absence of detailed sub-criteria for quality evaluation
No explicit mention of sustainability, social, or innovation aspects

Recommendations

1. Ensure all critical tender documents, especially the full specification, are clearly marked as required and easily accessible.
2. Provide detailed sub-criteria for quality evaluation to enhance transparency and objectivity.
3. Include specific mandatory exclusion and selection criteria in the tender documentation.
