Prepare the first draft of the technical specification and any other documents of a technical nature for the supplies and/or services to be provided, based on the latest CERN template, including, if deemed necessary, a technical annex with questions to assess whether the bids are compliant with the technical and delivery requirements (optional).

Tips: 
-    Drawings and other technical documents may be annexed to the technical specification, as required.
-    The Working on the CERN Site document must be annexed to the technical specification for any contract involving any intervention (even if it is short) by the Contractor on the CERN site. In addition, should the DO involve Category 1 operations, the Technical Officer shall also attach a PCTS (WSCP) to the technical specification.
-    The writing style must be based on the CERN English Language Style Guide.

 Templates:
-    Supplies – Technical Specification
-    Supplies – Technical Specification – Cables

If the contract includes services to be performed on both the French and Swiss sides of the CERN site, establish statistics showing the main location of activities to be performed on the CERN site, the foreseeable and the corresponding preponderant share of activities between France and Switzerland in view of establishing a 4P memorandum defining the law that will apply to the working conditions of the Contractor’s personnel intervening on the CERN site. 

Further information about the 4P principles and implementations are available here.

Draft the 4P memorandum in accordance with the statistics presented by the Technical Officer.

Circulate the 4P memorandum for signature by the Technical Officer‘s GL as well as Procurement Service’s management.

Review the tender form prepared by the Procurement Officer as well as the updated technical specification and submit the final version. 

Send out the final version of the Invitation to Tender to bidders and ILOs.
