Definition
Technical Specifications translate the subject matter of the Procurement Contract into concrete, measurable requirements that the procured product, service or works must fulfil [1]
These requirements are compulsory therefore if an offer does not comply with them it must be rejected.
Options
Under EU Procurement Directives[2] there are three choices for how to formulate technical specifications in calls for tender:
- in terms of performance or functional requirements, including environmental characteristics;
- by reference to standards, common technical specifications or references, or;
- by a combination of these approaches.
