realistically and competitively to the requirements of the Procuring Entity. In the context of
Competitive Tender, the specifications must be prepared to permit the widest possible
competition and, at the same time, present a clear statement of the required standards of
workmanship, materials, and performance of the goods and services to be procured. Only
if this is done will the objectives of transparency, equity, efficiency, fairness and economy in
procurement be realized, responsiveness of Tenders be ensured, and the subsequent task
of Tender evaluation and post-qualification facilitated. The specifications should require that
all items, materials and accessories to be included or incorporated in the goods be new,
