Specification Development

A specification defines what a purchaser wishes to buy and, consequently, what the supplier is expected to provide.  As a purchaser, writing concise and sound specifications will make your needs clear to bidders.  A well-written specification is a valuable tool in resolving disputed supplier performance.
