What does Bestek mean?

You might ask: why include the cutlery symbol in the Bestek logo?

No, we did not start a restaurant.

Well, ‘Bestek’ is a Dutch word with a double meaning. Most Dutchies know it as ‘cutlery’. Therefore, it fits our love for food and wine. However, public procurement affecionados in the Netherlands will also know it as a reference to the written wishes and demands of a contracting authority that aims to tender a public contract. So there you have it: the circle is complete.

Bestek is a public procurement podcast in which we also talk about food and wine.
