Tender evaluation

ProcurEU definition

The tender evaluation process must ensure that tenders are assessed in an objective and legally compliant way and against exclusion, selection and award criteria defined in the call for tender, in order to identify the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT). The evaluation committee should be led by experienced administrators who are well-versed in their roles, responsibilities and procedural obligations, supported by relevant technical experts in the field of the subject matter, including assessing standards and labels. The process should be documented to provide the evidence and the rationale for the award.
