Purchasing Criteria

This section presents some examples of actual technical specifications and award criteria, which could be used directly in tendering documents.

• Technical specifications
• Award criteria

These examples are based on two possible tenders where Fair Trade considerations could be included - firstly for the direct purchase of coffee (e.g. for use in kitchens, canteens, vending machines), and secondly when tendering for catering services for public buildings or events.

These can be adapted for use in any tender for products or services where you would like to include Fair Trade considerations.
