French term or phrase: cahier des charges technique
Hello,
Not sure how to translate this. It comes from an "open invitation to tender" "appel d'offres ouvert" for a camapaign to promote French cheeses in Europe. I think "cahier des charges" means "specifications, not sure about "technique in this context,
thanks

technical conditions of a contract


Explanation:

neutral  John ANTHONY: It is not, I believe, the traditional English UK translation
6 mins
disagree  writeaway: this is definitely not a contract and the wrong translation for cahier des charges technique. I am disagreeing instead of giving a neutral because I feel your 100% CL is really OTT.
