Aanbesteding catering Surrey Primary Cluster 3

This tender exhibits significant deficiencies, particularly concerning the unrealistic estimated value (1 EUR) and the absence of evaluation criteria, severely compromising transparency and fairness. Multiple critical data inconsistencies further undermine its quality.

Legal compliance is severely hampered by the absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and evaluation criteria, which are fundamental requirements. The highly unrealistic estimated value of 1 EUR also raises serious concerns regarding transparency and adherence to procurement principles. Furthermore, the conflicting dates for 'Submission Deadline' and 'Contract Start' indicate poor data management.

The clarity of this tender is significantly compromised by the complete absence of evaluation criteria, making it impossible for bidders to understand how their proposals will be judged. The stated estimated value of 1 EUR is highly misleading and creates extreme ambiguity regarding the financial scope. Conflicting dates and the contradiction between 'Divided into Parts' and 'one Lot' further reduce clarity.

The tender is incomplete due to the critical absence of evaluation criteria and explicit mandatory exclusion grounds. While basic information is present, the 1 EUR estimated value renders the financial information practically useless for a contract of this scope. The 'Liable Person' field is also missing, and key dates are inconsistent.

Fairness is critically undermined by the absence of evaluation criteria, which prevents objective and transparent assessment of bids. The 1 EUR estimated value is a severe impediment to fair competition, as it fails to provide bidders with a realistic understanding of the contract's scale. The lack of e-submission also limits equal access for potential bidders.

The practicality of this tender is low due to the lack of electronic submission, which is a significant barrier in modern procurement. The 1 EUR estimated value makes it impossible for potential bidders to conduct any meaningful financial planning or risk assessment. The 'TBC' status for the contract start date also adds an element of uncertainty.

Data consistency is very poor, with multiple critical inconsistencies. The 'Submission Deadline' field incorrectly states the contract start date, conflicting with the actual request to participate deadline. There is a direct contradiction between the 'Divided into Parts' characteristic and the description stating 'one Lot'. The 1 EUR estimated value is also inconsistent with the scope of providing catering for 8 schools over 36 months.

The tender does not include any explicit green procurement criteria, social aspects, or a focus on innovation. It is also not indicated as EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.
