Dutch term or phrase:deelbestek
hello everyone,
I can't seem to find this anywhere, I know "bestek" is "estimate" or "specification", but I can't find "deelbestek" anywhere. the actual phrase is: "4de deelbestek Harmelen-Woeden", this is the only phrase I have, it could be connected to public tenders, it is part of a CV.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks.

A Bill of Quantities is a document containing a detailed schedule of all items of work and the quantities required for a building or other project. It is prepared by a Quantity Surveyor and involves the description and measurement of (several thousand) items translated from documents (drawings and specification) produced by the Architect, Structural, Civil and Services Engineering Consultants as part of the Contract Documentation.
Often referred to as the BQ or BOQ, it may be issued to the tendering contractors for use by them as an aid to the preparation of their tender price. The BQ and its individual quantities and rates can also form a part of the Contract Documents. It establishes a common basis for tender comparison, helps to define the contractual scope of a project and can be used to check and value progress works and variations to the project during construction stage.
The requirement for the Bill of Quantity is often dependent on the size and nature of the project, however is often provided on projects which exceed $3m (TCC) in value.
I would guess: quantity surveyor, a profession little known outside the Anglo-Saxon world, but certainly someone responsible for drawing up a "bestek".
Could you tell us something about the profession of the person in question?

sub-specification
Explanation: Difficult to say exactly without more context, but this will suffice if it refers to a part of a wider specification.

sub-tender
Explanation: Here is an example of how it's used - you'll have a principal contractor and then other people bidding for the sub-tenders as I understand it - in your case the 4th portion
