Tender Quality Score

This tender provides clear basic information but suffers from significant deficiencies in detailed requirements and, critically, the complete absence of evaluation criteria, impacting transparency and fairness. The lack of e-submission and sustainability focus are also notable concerns.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly. However, the missing reveal date and the explicit lack of specified evaluation criteria are significant compliance issues regarding transparency and equal treatment. The AI-extracted requirements also indicate a lack of specific detail for mandatory exclusion grounds and eligibility, which could pose compliance risks if not elaborated in full documents.

Missing reveal date
No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity60/100

The service description is clear and unambiguous. However, the AI-extracted requirements explicitly state that specific details for exclusion grounds, eligibility, technical capabilities (e.g., specific licenses), and financial metrics are 'not detailed'. The complete absence of evaluation criteria is a major clarity failure, making it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Specific details for requirements (exclusion, eligibility, technical, financial) are not provided
Completeness65/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, deadlines, duration, CPV, and NUTS code are present. However, the tender is incomplete regarding specific details for mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, technical, and financial requirements. Crucially, evaluation criteria are entirely missing, which is a significant gap in a tender document.

No evaluation criteria specified
Specific details for requirements (exclusion, eligibility, technical, financial) are not provided
Fairness55/100

The estimated value is disclosed, and the AI-extracted requirements appear generic, not tailored to a specific company. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a severe fairness issue, as bidders cannot understand the basis for award. The lack of e-submission also reduces equal access and convenience for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission
Practicality60/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the explicit flag 'No e-submission' is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for bidders and the procuring entity.

No e-submission
Data Consistency90/100

All core fields are populated, dates are logical and consistent (submission before start, duration aligns), and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. The information provided is internally consistent.

Sustainability20/100

The automated checks explicitly state 'Not green procurement,' 'No social criteria,' and 'No innovation focus.' This indicates a complete lack of sustainability considerations within the tender, which is a missed opportunity for modern public procurement.

Not green procurement
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear service description and basic information (title, reference, organization, value, deadlines, duration)
CPV code and NUTS code are appropriately assigned
High data consistency with logical dates and no disputes
Estimated value is disclosed and not classified
Requirements appear generic, not tailored to a specific company

Concerns

Complete absence of evaluation criteria, severely impacting clarity, completeness, and fairness
Lack of specific details for mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, technical, and financial requirements
No electronic submission option, hindering practicality and equal access
No consideration for green, social, or innovation aspects (sustainability)
Missing reveal date, making it impossible to verify the full tender period

Recommendations

1. Immediately publish comprehensive evaluation criteria to ensure transparency and fairness for all bidders.
2. Provide detailed specifications for all requirements (exclusion, eligibility, technical, financial) within the full tender documents.
