Tender Quality Score

This tender provides clear basic information for a fire alarm service contract but is significantly hampered by the absence of detailed requirements, particularly evaluation criteria, and lacks modern e-procurement features and sustainability considerations.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code appropriately, and the submission timeframe is reasonable. However, the summary indicates a lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, financial requirements, and critically, evaluation criteria, which are standard elements for legal compliance and transparency. The 'Value Classified: Yes' flag contradicts the disclosed estimated value.

Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds in summary
Missing explicit eligibility requirements in summary
Clarity60/100

While the service description is clear, the AI-extracted requirements are very generic and lack specific detail. The explicit absence of evaluation criteria is a major clarity issue, preventing bidders from understanding how their proposals will be assessed.

Generic and high-level technical requirements
No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness65/100

Basic information such as title, organization, value, duration, and location are provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the absence of detailed eligibility, financial, and technical requirements, and most notably, the lack of specified evaluation criteria. The 'Divided into Parts' characteristic is mentioned without further detail.

Missing detailed eligibility requirements
Missing detailed financial requirements
Fairness55/100

The estimated value is disclosed, and the submission deadline is reasonable. However, the explicit lack of evaluation criteria significantly undermines fairness and transparency, as bidders cannot understand the basis of assessment. The absence of e-submission also creates a barrier to equal access and efficient participation.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission supported
Practicality60/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the lack of electronic submission support is a significant practical drawback. A direct document URL is not explicitly provided, and detailed financing information beyond the estimated value is absent.

No e-submission supported
Document URL not explicitly provided
Data Consistency80/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. Minor inconsistencies include the 'Value Classified: Yes' flag contradicting the disclosed value, the 'Liable Person' field being empty, and 'N/A' codes for the procedure type.

Inconsistency: 'Value Classified: Yes' vs. disclosed value
Empty 'Liable Person' field
Sustainability20/100

The tender shows no indication of incorporating green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards. This represents a significant missed opportunity for modern public procurement.

Not green procurement
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear service description and basic contract details (value, duration, start date)
Well-defined procedure type and CPV code
Reasonable submission timeframe for a below-threshold contract
No active disputes or suspensions

Concerns

Absence of explicit evaluation criteria
Lack of detailed eligibility, financial, and mandatory exclusion requirements in the summary
No support for electronic submission
No integration of green, social, or innovation aspects
Inconsistency regarding 'Value Classified' status

Recommendations

1. Ensure the full tender documentation clearly specifies all eligibility, financial, technical, and mandatory exclusion grounds.
2. Crucially, define and publish clear, objective, and transparent evaluation criteria to ensure fairness and allow bidders to prepare relevant proposals.
3. Implement electronic submission capabilities to enhance accessibility, efficiency, and transparency.
