Writing Technical Specifications in a Tender

Published: Publisher: Zhilianhai Robotics News

Principles

  • Describe what the system must achieve, not one manufacturer's model number.
  • State limits with ≥ or ≤, and say how they will be verified.
  • Keep mandatory items to the ones that genuinely matter.
  • Attach the acceptance protocol to the specification.

Common specification failures

FailureConsequence
Copying a vendor datasheetOnly one supplier can respond
Vague performance wordsBids cannot be compared
No acceptance methodDisputes at commissioning
