Dutch term or phrase: Bestek (verschil met Specificaties)
Het ontwerpdossier dient dan ook binnen de grenzen van het Bestek (inzonderheid de Specificaties) te zijn opgemaakt. Hierbij vertrekt de Inschrijver vanuit het referentieontwerp dat in Deel C.3.2. van het Bestek is opgenomen, met dien verstande dat de Inschrijver dit referentieontwerp mag en desgevallend moet bijsturen in functie van het behalen van de Specificaties.

Of course, I've been using Specifications for Bestek and then I come across this. On the web I found "contract documents" used for Bestek, but my text also includes Contractdocumenten and the Bestek clearly precedes any contract documents.

Any help appreciated.

English translation:Tender documentation/bid documents
Explanation:
See the folllowing websites:
http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/bid-documents.h...
"
bid documents
Definition

Documents required to be submitted in response to an invitation to bid (ITB). These include the prescribed bid form, drawings, specifications, time lines, charts, price breakdowns, etc. Bids not accompanied by all the required documents are considered incomplete bids, and are usually automatically rejected. Also called bidding documents."

https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Tender_documentati...

"Ideally, tender documents should be broken down into a series of packages (even if there will only be one main contract) each with its own design drawings and specifications suitable to be issued by the main contractor to potential sub-contractors. This makes the tender easier for the contractor to price and easier for the client to compare with other tenderers."

Not sure if you want it in American or British English.

agree  Alexander Schleber (X): tender documents IMO --> bid documents would be wrong IMO, since the bestek provides the explanations of what is required and a bid documentatrion what will be delivered.
