Patient And Retail: Sandwiches & Ready To Eat Meal Solutions

This tender, currently in a 'planned' status and identified as a preliminary market engagement, lacks critical detail regarding specific requirements and evaluation criteria, significantly impacting its clarity, completeness, and fairness. A major data inconsistency with an irrelevant document further detracts from its quality.

While the 'planned' status and 'preliminary market engagement' nature explain the absence of a defined procedure type, the inclusion of an irrelevant document (Document 1 from Norfolk County Council) is a significant legal compliance and data integrity issue. The missing reveal date is also a concern.

The tender's description of goods/services is clear, but the complete absence of specific mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, technical capability, financial, and submission requirements, as well as evaluation criteria, renders the tender highly unclear for potential bidders.

Basic information such as title, organization, estimated value, duration, and CPV code is present. However, the tender is critically incomplete due to the explicit absence of all specific requirements (exclusion, eligibility, technical, financial, submission) and evaluation criteria, which are fundamental for a comprehensive tender document.

The complete lack of specified evaluation criteria and detailed requirements creates a significant fairness concern, as bidders cannot understand the basis for assessment or what is truly expected. The absence of e-submission also limits equal access for potential suppliers.

The tender specifies contract duration and start date, which is practical. However, the lack of electronic submission is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement. The overall absence of detailed requirements also makes practical preparation for bidders challenging.

While key dates and financial information are consistent, the most significant inconsistency is the inclusion of a 'Tender Notice' document from Norfolk County Council, which is unrelated to the NHS Wales tender. The 'Type: None' and 'Procedure: None' also represent data gaps for a formal tender.

The tender explicitly lacks any mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus, indicating no integration of sustainability considerations.
