For procurement

Specify the outcome, not a predetermined product.

A good brief secures necessary function while leaving the market room to propose different routes to the best result.

An overly narrow specification may reduce bidders, increase price or create funding-correction risk. An overly general brief leaves important lifecycle costs uncontrolled.

Practical path

Six checks before publication.

Map waste flows

Define the area, streams, quantities and seasonal load.

Describe function

Capacity, usability, accessibility, service frequency and safety.

Keep competition open

Check whether lifting or vehicle requirements unnecessarily exclude capable operators.

Consider lifecycle

Purchase, installation, transport, cleaning, repair, parts and relocation.

Request evidence

Standards, materials, dimensions, references, warranty and maintenance.

Check proportionality

Every requirement must relate to the intended outcome and real risk.

Free first meeting

Map the situation before locking in a solution.

We help compare approaches and identify local specifics. The meeting does not bind you to one product or predetermined outcome.
