Catering Service for Educational Institutions

The eligibility requirements for catering service tenders include being a registered company or business entity, possessing valid licenses for food handling, and having relevant experience in providing catering services, particularly for institutional settings. Entities should also demonstrate compliance with health and safety regulations to ensure proper meal preparation and delivery.

Bidders are required to submit several important certificates, including:

• Valid FSSAI registration for food safety compliance.
• Relevant business registration documents such as GST registration.
• Experience certificates from previous catering contracts, especially in educational institutions.

The registration process for participating in tenders involves creating a profile on the government e-marketplace (GEM) portal, submitting required business documentation, and ensuring compliance with eligibility criteria. Once registered, bidders can access available tenders and begin submitting their proposals based on the specified requirements.

Typical payment terms for catering service tenders include provisions for payment upon successful service delivery, with conditions laid out in the final agreement. Bidders should anticipate periodic payments correlating with service delivery milestones or invoices submitted at the end of each month, based on the number of meals served.

The evaluation process involves a comprehensive review of both technical and financial proposals submitted by bidders. The assessment follows a scoring system based on predefined criteria, including the quality of the proposal, pricing, and adherence to operational standards, ensuring that the selection is transparent and supports quality service provision.
