Stages prior to issuing an invitation to tender
Before inviting catering companies to tender for the contract, the purchaser must:
- describe its needs and expectations by drawing up specifications;
- transcribe these specifications in a reply form which tenderers will have to fill in when drawing up their offers of services;
- define the selection and exclusion criteria for the service providers and lay down the criteria for awarding the contract to the economically most advantageous offer;
- determine the scoring procedures for the technical and financial offers.
