Tender Quality Score

This tender establishes a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for digital and cyber services, demonstrating good clarity on its purpose and structure, but has notable gaps in detailed requirements and transparency regarding value and specific evaluation criteria.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure as a DPS and uses appropriate CPV codes. The use of SPD suggests compliance with standard procurement frameworks. No disputes are reported. However, the estimated value is classified, and the reveal date is missing, which are minor disclosure issues.

Estimated value is classified and not disclosed
Missing reveal date
Clarity80/100

The description of the DPS's purpose, scope, and lot structure is clear. Requirements are categorized well, but specific details for 'minimum entry criteria' and 'evaluation criteria' are not provided directly, instead referring to the Single Procurement Document (SPD).

Specific evaluation criteria for joining the DPS are not detailed
Detailed requirements rely heavily on external SPD without direct inclusion
Completeness70/100

Basic information, duration, and location are well-specified. Documents are referenced. However, the estimated value is not disclosed, and the specific 'minimum entry criteria' and 'evaluation criteria' are not fully defined within the provided tender information, requiring reference to the SPD.

Estimated value is not disclosed
Specific evaluation criteria are not fully defined in the provided text
Fairness85/100

The DPS structure, being open for new applicants throughout its lifetime and divided into parts, promotes fair access. Requirements appear generic and not tailored. However, the classified value and the absence of specific evaluation criteria in the main tender text reduce transparency.

Estimated value is classified and not disclosed
Specific evaluation criteria are not transparently detailed in the provided text
Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a 48-month duration. While 'E-Procurement' is listed as a characteristic, the automated check flags 'No e-submission', which is a significant contradiction impacting practicality. A direct document URL is not provided.

Contradiction regarding 'E-Procurement' characteristic versus 'No e-submission' flag
No explicit document URL provided for the SPD
Data Consistency90/100

Most key fields are populated, and the tender is active with no disputes. Dates are logical for a DPS. The primary inconsistency is the contradiction between the 'E-Procurement' characteristic and the 'No e-submission' automated check result.

Contradiction between 'E-Procurement' characteristic and 'No e-submission' automated check
Sustainability50/100

The tender explicitly includes an 'Innovation Focus', which is a positive aspect. However, it lacks specific mention of green procurement or social criteria, as confirmed by automated checks.

No explicit green procurement criteria mentioned
No explicit social criteria mentioned

Strengths

Clear purpose and scope for the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS)
Open for new applicants throughout its lifetime, promoting continuous market access
Includes 'Innovation Focus' and is 'Divided into Parts' (lots)
Long contract duration (48 months) for the DPS
E-Procurement listed as a characteristic (assuming functionality)

Concerns

Estimated value is not disclosed and classified, reducing transparency
Specific evaluation criteria for joining the DPS are not detailed in the provided text
Reliance on external 'Single Procurement Document (SPD)' for detailed requirements
Contradiction regarding 'E-Procurement' characteristic vs. 'No e-submission' automated check
Absence of explicit green or social procurement criteria

Recommendations

1. Provide a direct link to the Single Procurement Document (SPD) for full transparency and easy access to detailed requirements.

3. Resolve the contradiction regarding e-submission functionality to ensure clarity and confidence for bidders.
