Technical specification, tendering and procurement
Sharpening technical requirements, making bids comparable and supporting procurement on the technical side.
Does this match your situation?
Whatever is not stated clearly gets negotiated later.
From the first requirement through to acceptance, OSK-Consult helps state technical expectations unambiguously and put supplier claims into context.
- Are the requirements unambiguous, complete and verifiable?
- Are the bids genuinely comparable on technical grounds?
- Which alternative bids carry interface risk?

Working together
From the question to the findings.
Agree the question
Clarify the procurement objective, the conditions of use and the technical requirements.
Carry out the work
Draft the requirements or assess bids against the agreed criteria.
Explain the findings
Agree technical queries, delivery scope and any further support.
The focus is on technical procurement. Support beyond that, through design and delivery, can be agreed separately.
In control-command and signalling, OSK-Consult supports conceptual questions and the interfaces with the overall system. Detailed engineering is handled by specialists from the network.
