Identify specific needs#

Consult with key stakeholders to understand all needs. Stakeholders could include:

• teachers
• school board members
• the regional property team
• other frequent users of the property.

If you know of schools that have done similar projects, ask them about their experiences.

Write down the requirements#

This is the information you will provide to potential suppliers in your tender documents.

You must consider:

• the overall outcome the procurement needs to achieve
• the goods, services or contract works that need to be delivered or undertaken
• the skills and expertise the supplier requires
• the resources and availability the supplier will need to meet your expected timeframes
• how the supplier should break down their prices when they provide pricing information
• the type of contract you will use and key contract terms and conditions.
