Socio-economic aspects
Green Procurement: environmental commitments will be included in the request for SO and will be part of the financial evaluation. The submission of response to environmental commitments is optional, and the preferential margin will be applied only to the initial financial evaluation, and not to the rebid process.
Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises: opportunity is open to all bidders of all sizes (open bidding).
Social Procurement: the CCPI template which will be used for this procurement, includes the voluntary Social Procurement Supplier Self-Identification Form.
Value / Savings / Considerations
By leveraging the consolidated business volume through the use of SO, CCPI participants benefit from quicker access to beverages with rental dispensers, while also achieving economies of scale and cost-efficiency.
