Tender Quality Score

This planning notice for MOP Services Framework provides a clear description of requirements and key financial/timeline data, but lacks crucial details such as evaluation criteria and e-submission capabilities, impacting fairness and completeness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender clearly defines the open procedure and CPV codes, states compliance with the Procurement Act 2023, and has no disputes. While the full reveal date is not specified for this planning notice, the submission deadline appears reasonable.

Missing reveal date (for full tender notice)
Clarity80/100

The description and AI-extracted requirements are clear and unambiguous regarding the services needed. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly reduces the overall clarity for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Basic information, financial details, and timeline are well-defined. Requirements are listed. However, the tender is incomplete without detailed submission instructions and, critically, the evaluation criteria, which are stated to be provided in the full tender notice.

Missing evaluation criteria
Detailed submission instructions pending
Fairness55/100

The estimated value is disclosed, and the technical requirements do not appear tailored. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria severely compromises transparency and objectivity. The absence of e-submission also creates a barrier to equal access for all potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission
Practicality65/100

Key practical information like contract start, duration, and estimated value are provided. However, the lack of electronic submission support is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, and a direct document URL is not yet available.

No e-submission
Document URL not provided
Data Consistency90/100

The tender information is largely consistent across all provided fields. Dates are logical, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. A minor inconsistency exists in the submission time (00:00:00 vs 14:00:00).

Minor inconsistency in submission time
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not include any explicit green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus, nor is it EU funded. This indicates a missed opportunity to integrate broader sustainability objectives.

No green procurement
No social criteria
