P/SM1: Tender documentation checklist
There is a separate list for Employer’s Requirements in design and build procurement
in P/SM2.
The Construction Project Information Committee’s (CPIC) Production Information:
A Code of Procedure for the Construction Industry gives the following guidance on
drawn information to be issued to tenderers. It covers contracts with and without
quantities, sets out the definitions and rules relating to drawn information in the
Standard Method of Measurement of Building Works, seventh edition (SMM7), and
gives guidance on how those requirements may be satisfied.
Prior to tendering, drawn information is used mainly for the measurement of
quantities. On ‘with quantities’ contracts SMM7 requires drawn information to
be provided to tenderers to give:
• an overall picture of the project to allow assessment of the cost significance
of the design and inform decisions about methods of construction
• detailed information about parts of the work where this information is more
effectively communicated graphically rather than by a lengthy description in
the bill of quantities.
The requirements for provision of this information are dealt with in detail below.
Drawings selected from those normally available for construction of the project
should satisfy the SMM7 requirements (except for dimensioned diagrams).
Apart from the specific requirements for provision of drawings, SMM7 allows
descriptive and specification information to be given on drawings or in the
specification provided that a specific cross-reference is given in the bill of
quantities’ description of the item (SMM7 General Rule 4.2).
The following types of drawings are referred to in SMM7:
• location drawings
• component drawings
• dimensioned diagrams.
