Consultant support: Development of a digital Food Loss and Waste (FLW) data taxonomy

This tender for a digital Food Loss and Waste data taxonomy development is generally well-structured, with clear technical requirements and a disclosed value. However, it lacks explicit evaluation criteria and detailed eligibility, impacting overall transparency and completeness.

The tender adheres to basic legal requirements by providing a CPV code and a clear procedure for an open competition below the threshold. Deadlines are present, though the submission deadline might be considered tight by some. The absence of explicit evaluation criteria is a minor concern for legal compliance.

The description of the required services is clear and detailed, outlining the objectives and scope of work for developing a digital FLW data taxonomy. Technical requirements are well-defined, making it understandable for potential bidders.

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration. However, the lack of detailed eligibility requirements and explicit evaluation criteria means some crucial information for bidders is missing.

The tender is an open competition, and the value is disclosed, promoting fairness. The use of an e-procurement portal for information and response is standard. Requirements are focused on technical capability rather than specific company attributes, indicating a good level of fairness.

The tender directs bidders to an e-sourcing portal for information and response, which is practical. However, the absence of a direct document URL for the full tender pack and the lack of explicit financing information could be improved.

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated logically. There are no reported disputes or suspensions, indicating good data consistency.

The tender does not explicitly mention green procurement, social aspects, innovation, or EU funding, which are common elements in modern tenders. This limits its score in this category.
