Introduction to Specification Writing

Overview

Recommended pre-requisites:

Procurement & Contract Essentials; and/or
Previous procurement experience (basic – intermediate).

Well articulated specifications are key to receiving quality submissions. Whether preparing a Scope of Work or detailed Technical Specifications, an understanding of the purpose, form and type of requirement is needed to best maximise the opportunity of receiving a fit for purpose quality submission.

In this revised one-day course we will undertake a number of activities and reviews to help you identify and develop those specification writing skills. We will assess the procurement requirements, consider the ‘must haves’ vs ‘nice to haves’ and review whole-of-life costing models.

As an introduction to specification writing this course serves to provide an overview of the types, forms, purpose, and applications of the different types of specifications and other considerations that may be required within the RFx document.
