Neutral question and answer specifications are standardized building blocks used in specification documents and advisory tools. A question specification focuses on performance-based and functional criteria (such as insulation values or connection types), without referencing specific brands. This fits seamlessly into EMVI tenders, design & construct projects, and collaborative construction teams.
EMVI stands for Economisch Meest Voordelige Inschrijving, which translates to Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT). It is a procurement method used in the Netherlands where tenders are not only evaluated on price, but also on quality, sustainability, risk management, and other added-value criteria.
The answer specification explains how a specific product meets these criteria. This structure supports hybrid procurement models, where transparency, cooperation, and results-based selection are key.
With Utopis, your product data fits directly into these processes, increasing visibility among specifiers.
