Tender Quality Score

This tender for a Dynamic Purchasing System has a clear purpose but suffers from significant transparency issues, particularly the undisclosed value and critical absence of evaluation criteria, impacting fairness and clarity.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The procedure type and CPV code are clearly defined, and there are no reported disputes. However, the classified value and missing reveal date are minor compliance issues. The summary's lack of detailed mandatory exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements, while referring to standard regulations, could be more transparent.

Estimated value is classified and not disclosed.
Missing reveal date for the tender.
Clarity60/100

The overall description of services is clear. However, the AI-extracted requirements are very generic, and the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly reduces clarity for potential bidders. Performance conditions are also not detailed in the summary.

No evaluation criteria specified.
Eligibility, financial, and technical requirements are very generic in the summary.
Completeness65/100

Basic information, deadlines, duration, and document availability are present. However, the undisclosed value and the critical absence of evaluation criteria represent significant gaps. Eligibility and financial requirements are not detailed in the summary.

Estimated value is not disclosed.
No evaluation criteria specified.
Fairness55/100

The classified value and, critically, the absence of evaluation criteria are major fairness concerns, as they hinder transparency and objective assessment. While requirements do not appear tailored, the lack of clear evaluation methods is a significant drawback. The contradiction regarding e-submission also impacts perceived fairness.

Estimated value is classified, reducing transparency.
No evaluation criteria specified, impacting objective assessment.
Practicality60/100

The contract duration is clearly specified. However, the contradiction between 'E-Procurement' characteristic and 'No e-submission' issue creates significant ambiguity regarding practical submission methods. Missing contract start date and financing information (due to classified value) also detract from practicality.

Contradiction regarding e-submission support.
Contract start date is not specified.
Data Consistency80/100

Most key fields are populated, and there are no reported disputes. However, the 'Liable Person' field is empty, and Type/Procedure codes are 'N/A'. The most significant inconsistency is the contradiction between 'E-Procurement' being a characteristic and 'No e-submission' being flagged as an issue.

Contradiction between 'E-Procurement' characteristic and 'No e-submission' issue.
'Liable Person' field is empty.
Sustainability40/100

While the service (employability) inherently has social benefits, the tender documentation itself does not explicitly incorporate broader green, social (beyond the core service), or innovation criteria as part of the procurement process or evaluation. It is also not EU funded, which often drives higher sustainability standards.

No explicit green procurement criteria.
No explicit social criteria beyond the core service.

Strengths

Clear purpose and description of employability services.
Utilizes a Dynamic Purchasing System, allowing for continuous supplier onboarding.
Basic tender information (title, reference, organization, CPV, duration) is well-defined.
E-Procurement characteristic (if truly supported) enhances accessibility.

Concerns

Critical absence of specified evaluation criteria.
Estimated value is not disclosed and classified.
AI-extracted requirements for eligibility, financial, and technical capability are very generic.
Contradiction regarding e-submission support.
Lack of explicit sustainability, green, or innovation criteria.

Recommendations

1. Immediately publish detailed evaluation criteria to ensure transparency and fairness for all potential bidders.
2. Disclose the estimated value of the DPS to allow bidders to make informed decisions.
3. Clarify and detail all eligibility, financial, and technical requirements within the full tender documentation, and resolve the e-submission contradiction.
