Tender Quality Score

This tender for planned maintenance works is generally well-described with clear requirements and a substantial estimated value. However, it suffers from critical omissions, notably the complete absence of evaluation criteria, which significantly impacts fairness and clarity.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines an open procedure and provides a reasonable submission timeframe from today's date. The CPV code is slightly narrow for the full scope of works, and the 'Value Classified: Yes' contradicts the disclosed value. The most significant legal compliance issue is the explicit absence of evaluation criteria, which is a fundamental requirement for an open procedure.

No evaluation criteria specified
CPV code might be too narrow for the full scope of works
Clarity60/100

The description of the works, geographical lots, and AI-extracted requirements are clear and understandable. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria makes it impossible for potential bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed, severely undermining the clarity of the procurement process itself.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness65/100

Most basic information, including title, organization, value, duration, and location, is provided. Requirements are defined, but the critical omission of evaluation criteria is a major gap. Furthermore, only one of four tender documents is summarized, raising concerns about the completeness of the provided tender information.

No evaluation criteria specified
Only 1 of 4 tender documents summarized, potentially missing critical details
Fairness40/100

The requirements do not appear tailored to a specific company, and the estimated value is disclosed. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a critical flaw that severely compromises fairness and transparency, as bidders cannot objectively prepare their proposals. The lack of e-submission also hinders equal access.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission
Practicality60/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the lack of electronic submission (e-submission) is a significant practical drawback, increasing administrative burden for bidders. An explicit document URL is also not provided in the analyzed content.

No e-submission
Document URL not explicitly provided
Data Consistency70/100

Key fields are mostly populated, and dates are logical. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. However, the 'Liable Person' field is empty, and there is a direct contradiction between 'Value Classified: Yes' and the explicit disclosure of the estimated value.

Contradiction: 'Value Classified: Yes' vs. disclosed value
Missing 'Liable Person'
Sustainability20/100

The tender description and requirements make no mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. This represents a significant missed opportunity to incorporate modern public procurement best practices for sustainability and social value.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria
