RFQ 2025/65 - NMANDD PEACEPLUS Market Ready Programme, Sustainably Served from Kitchen to Market. For NM&DDC Area

This tender is a moderately well-structured open competition for consultancy services, with clear objectives and a reasonable budget. However, it lacks detailed evaluation criteria and specific sustainability considerations.

The tender appears to comply with basic legal requirements for an open competition below the threshold. Deadlines are specified, and the procedure is indicated as open competition. The CPV code is provided. No disputes are noted. The primary concern is the potential for a short submission deadline, which could impact compliance with reasonable timelines.

The description of the required programme is clear, outlining the objectives of supporting local food and drink enterprises in adopting sustainable practices and achieving market readiness. The technical capability requirements are well-defined based on the description. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria introduces ambiguity in how submissions will be assessed.

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, contract duration, and start date. The CPV code is provided. However, the tender documents themselves are not accessible or summarized, which significantly impacts completeness. The lack of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds and specific eligibility criteria beyond 'competent consultancy companies' also reduces completeness.

The tender is an open competition, which promotes fairness. The estimated value is disclosed, and the criteria for technical capability are objectively derived from the programme description. The use of e-procurement is implied by the structure, though not explicitly stated as mandatory. There are no apparent requirements tailored to specific companies.

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. Financing information is not detailed. The primary practicality issue is the lack of explicit mention of e-submission, and the absence of accessible document URLs for potential bidders to review the full tender package.

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated consistently. There are no noted disputes or suspensions. The dates provided for the contract start and submission deadline are logically ordered. The CPV code is present and relevant.

While the programme's objective is to promote 'sustainable and environmentally responsible business practices' among enterprises, the tender itself does not explicitly detail green procurement criteria for the consultancy services or incorporate broader social aspects, innovation, or EU funding indicators. This limits the sustainability score.
