Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe contracting authority in Varna Municipality is procuring a contractor to prepare and deliver hot lunch meals under the project 'Warm Lunch' of the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived 2021-2027, co-financed by the European Social Fund Plus. The supplier must prepare hot meals in its own kitchen meeting Bulgarian food law requirements, package the food in disposable containers and packaging approved for food contact, and either serve the meals at the contractor's kitchen, hand them out at a distribution point, or transport them to beneficiaries' homes. Deliveries cover the territory of Varna Municipality, serving up to 300 people in need.

Expected award price
- likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €231,174
- €228,862 to €231,174
Comparable awards in this country and sector came in at a median of 100% of their published estimate, half of them between 99% and 100%, based on 50 awards of the last 3 years.
Each award is compared with the estimate of the same lots, framework agreements excluded. A published estimate may include options and renewals, so an award under it is not always a discount.
