Procurement of Disposable Tableware

This tender for disposable dishes demonstrates strong clarity and completeness, with a transparent lowest-price evaluation criterion and robust e-procurement features. While generally fair and legally compliant, it lacks explicit sustainability considerations and limits framework agreement participants to three.

The tender exhibits good legal compliance, with reasonable submission deadlines, clearly defined procedure type (framework agreement with re-opening competition), and appropriate CPV codes. The use of ESPD and electronic submission aligns with EU and national procurement regulations, and all mandatory disclosure requirements are met. No disputes or suspensions are reported.

Clarity is a significant strength of this tender. The description is unambiguous, requirements are well-documented and categorized, and the evaluation criteria (100% lowest price) are exceptionally clear and easy to understand. Performance conditions are outlined in the provided draft agreements, contributing to overall transparency.

The tender is highly complete, providing all essential information including title, reference, organization, financial details, timeline, and location. All 10 tender documents are attached, with required forms and draft contracts readily available. Requirements and evaluation criteria are fully defined, ensuring bidders have all necessary information.

The tender is generally fair, offering full document access, disclosing the estimated value, and setting reasonable deadlines. The lowest-price evaluation criterion is objective and transparent, and e-procurement ensures equal access. However, limiting the maximum number of participants in the framework agreement to three could potentially restrict future competition among suppliers.

Practical aspects are well-addressed, with full support for electronic submission and e-procurement, and a clear URL for the opening place. Financing information and contract duration are specified. A minor practical concern is the absence of an explicit contract start date, which could aid bidder planning.

Data consistency is excellent across the tender. All key fields are populated, there are no reported suspensions or disputes, and all dates (reveal, submission, opening, duration) are logical and consistent with each other.

This tender shows a low focus on sustainability. There are no explicit green procurement criteria, social aspects, or innovation focus mentioned in the documentation or automated checks. It is also not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.
