Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear service description but suffers from significant deficiencies in transparency and completeness due to missing evaluation criteria and financial requirements, alongside a lack of e-submission.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender correctly identifies the legal framework (Procurement Act 2023) and procedure type, with appropriate CPV codes and reasonable deadlines. However, the critical absence of explicit evaluation criteria is a significant legal compliance issue regarding transparency and equal treatment, impacting the score.

No evaluation criteria specified
No specific mandatory exclusion grounds explicitly detailed (relies on general Act)
Clarity60/100

The service description and target groups are clear, and basic eligibility and technical requirements are understandable. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria and specific financial requirements creates significant ambiguity for potential bidders, severely impacting clarity.

No evaluation criteria specified
No specific financial requirements detailed
Completeness65/100

Basic information, estimated value, duration, and location are well-provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the critical omission of specific financial requirements and, most importantly, detailed evaluation criteria. The 'Required: No' for the official PDF is also an unusual data point.

Missing detailed evaluation criteria
Missing specific financial requirements
Fairness50/100

The tender aims for multiple contracts and discloses the value, which are positive for fairness. However, the complete lack of evaluation criteria makes the process opaque and inherently unfair, as bidders cannot understand the basis of award. The absence of e-submission also hinders equal access.

No evaluation criteria specified
No electronic submission option
Practicality60/100

Contract start and duration are clearly specified. However, the lack of electronic submission is a significant practical drawback for bidders, making the submission process less efficient and accessible. A direct document URL is not explicitly provided in the summary.

No electronic submission supported
Document URL not explicitly provided in summary
Data Consistency85/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. Minor inconsistencies include 'Liable Person' being empty and 'Code: N/A' for procedure type, but these do not significantly detract from overall consistency.

Liable Person field is empty
Procedure type code is 'N/A'
Sustainability50/100

While the core service inherently addresses significant social needs, the tender documentation does not explicitly incorporate broader sustainability criteria (environmental, social value beyond the core service, innovation) for bidders, nor is it EU funded.

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

Strengths

Clear service description and target beneficiary groups
Transparent disclosure of estimated contract value and duration
Utilizes an open procedure under a specified legal framework (Procurement Act 2023)
Aims for multiple contracts, promoting competition
Appropriate CPV code and NUTS code provided

Concerns

Critical absence of detailed evaluation criteria
Lack of specific financial requirements for bidders
No electronic submission option
Missing explicit details on mandatory exclusion grounds
Limited integration of broader sustainability or innovation criteria

Recommendations

1. Immediately publish detailed evaluation criteria, including weighting and methodology, to ensure transparency and fairness.
2. Clearly define financial requirements (e.g., turnover thresholds, financial stability checks) appropriate for a contract of this value.
3. Implement an electronic submission system to enhance accessibility and efficiency for bidders.
