The Minister of Education, Mr. Phongthep Thepkanjana, chaired the fourth executive board meeting for the project, "One Tablet per Child", on 3 April 2013 at the Ministry of Education. The meeting was also attended by the Deputy Minister of Education, Mr. Sermsak Pongpanit, and the Assistant to the Minister, Dr. Phuangphet Chunlaiad.

Mr. Phongthep said that the meeting considered the Terms of Reference or TOR on purchasing 1,634,180 mobile tablets through e-auction in which both Thai and foreign distributors and manufacturers were able to participate. In the middle of this month, the TOR will undergo public hearing prior to it taking place.

The major issue of the TOR requires that the auctioneer needs to be a legal entity with past experience of selling computers to an amount of not less than no less than 100 million baht. The auctioneer should have experience of selling products to the public or private sectors, to local administrators or to state enterprises either within Thailand or abroad.

There are four periods of distribution: two periods for the Office of the Higher Education Commission and two for the Bangkok Bureau of Education, the National Office of Buddhism, the Bureau of Patrol Police, the Institute of Physical Education, the Bundit Pattanasilpa Institute and the Pattaya Bureau of Education. The company will also have to send 1% more spare products to all the organizations during each period of distribution.

Every recipient organization will have its own committee to monitor the mobile tablets according to the ISO 2859 which allows deviation of receiving the products at 0.65% at the Major Detect level and at 1.5% at the Minor Detect.

The Office of the Basic Education Commission and the Office of the Private Education Commission will make payment of 20%, 25%, 25% and 30% respectively. The Office of the Vocational Education Commission will make payment of 25% and 75% while other organizations will make only one payment to the distributors.

The budget for purchasing the tablets is divided into primary education (Grade 1) in Central and Southern Thailand or Zone 1, primary education (Grade 1) in Northern and Northeastern Thailand or Zone 2, secondary education (Grade 7) in central and southern Thailand or Zone 3 and secondary education (grade 7) in northern and northeastern Thailand or Zone 4.
