Specifications
A specification is a document that sets out the technical specifications, requirements and scope of a construction or procurement project.
In Dutch construction and public procurement law, the specifications are the written document in which the employer sets out a detailed description of the works to be performed, the materials to be used, the applicable quality standards and the technical requirements.
The specifications form an integral part of the contract between the employer and the contractor and serve as the benchmark for the execution, inspection and assessment of the works.
In practice, the specifications are commonly used in public procurement procedures and UAV contracts; deviations from them may give rise to variations, claims or disputes regarding performance of the contract.
“The contractor has executed the work in accordance with the requirements and specifications set out in the specifications.”
