Examples Of Service Requirements
Previous  

Listed below are samples of typical Service Requirements from various service sectors.

The "Title of Requirement" field allows a 25 character summary to be entered. Use this field as a means of attracting potential Service Providers to your requirement.

The inclusion of a budget figure is optional. It depends on whether or not you feel that setting a ceiling yourself will be to your advantage when attracting initial interest and during negotiations.
