Tender Quality Score

This tender is well-structured with clear product descriptions and stringent, yet relevant, supplier qualification requirements, particularly in sustainability and social responsibility. However, the critical absence of explicit evaluation criteria significantly impacts its clarity, completeness, and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The procedure type and CPV code are clearly defined, and no disputes are noted. The tender aligns with UK national procurement policy, but the missing reveal date and, more importantly, the absence of evaluation criteria are significant disclosure gaps.

•Missing tender reveal date
•No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity80/100

The product description and supplier requirements are very clear and understandable, with specific standards and links provided. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a major clarity concern, as bidders cannot understand how their proposals will be judged.

•No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Most basic information, deadlines, value, and duration are present. However, the critical absence of evaluation criteria is a major completeness issue. Additionally, only one of four listed documents has a content summary, suggesting potential missing information.

•No evaluation criteria specified
•Only one of four listed documents has a content summary
Fairness85/100

The e-procurement system and disclosed value contribute to fairness. Requirements, while stringent, appear to be industry-standard and not overtly tailored to a specific company. However, the missing evaluation criteria are a significant fairness concern, as it hinders transparency and objectivity.

•No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality90/100

Electronic submission is fully supported via a dedicated eTendering portal with clear instructions. The contract start date and duration are clearly specified, and the estimated value is disclosed.

Data Consistency80/100

Data is generally consistent, with logical dates. However, the 'Liable Person' is missing, and 'Type'/'Procedure' codes are marked as N/A despite the text specifying 'Open procedure'. The reveal date is also absent.

•Missing 'Liable Person'
•Type/Procedure codes marked as N/A
Sustainability95/100

The tender demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainability by including both environmental (Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment, Carbon Reduction Plan meeting PPN 006) and social (Modern Slavery Statements, MSAT score) criteria. There is no explicit innovation focus.

•No explicit innovation focus

Strengths
