BIDDING DOCUMENTS
October 2024
Sixth Edition
Preface
The PBDs are intended as a model for admeasurements (unit prices or unit rates in
a bill of quantities) types of contracts, which are the most common in Works contracting.
The Bidding Documents shall clearly and adequately define, among others: (i) the
objectives, scope, and expected outputs and/or results of the proposed contract; (ii) the
eligibility requirements of Bidders; (iii) the expected contract duration; and (iv)the
obligations, duties, and/or functions of the winning Bidder.
Care should be taken to check the relevance of the provisions of the PBDs against
the requirements of the specific Works to be procured. If duplication of a subject is
inevitable in other sections of the document prepared by the Procuring Entity, care must
be exercised to avoid contradictions between clauses dealing with the same matter.
Moreover, each section is prepared with notes intended only as information for the
Procuring Entity or the person drafting the Bidding Documents. They shall not be included
in the final documents. The following general directions should be observed when using
the documents:
a. All the documents listed in the Table of Contents are normally required for
the procurement of Infrastructure Projects. However, they should be
adapted as necessary to the circumstances of the particular Project.
b. Specific details, such as the “name of the Procuring Entity” and “address for
bid submission,” should be furnished in the Instructions to Bidders, Bid Data
Sheet, and Special Conditions of Contract. The final documents should
contain neither blank spaces nor options.
c. This Preface and the footnotes or notes in italics included in the Invitation
to Bid, BDS, General Conditions of Contract, Special Conditions of Contract,
Specifications, Drawings, and Bill of Quantities are not part of the text of the
final document, although they contain instructions that the Procuring Entity
should strictly follow.

d. The cover should be modified as required to identify the Bidding Documents
as to the names of the Project, Contract, and Procuring Entity, in addition to
date of issue.
f. For guidelines on the use of Bidding Forms and the procurement of Foreign-
Assisted Projects, these will be covered by a separate issuance of the
Government Procurement Policy Board.

Section VI. Specifications
Notes on Specifications
A set of precise and clear specifications is a prerequisite for Bidders to respond
realistically and competitively to the requirements of the Procuring Entity without
qualifying or conditioning their Bids. In the context of international competitive
bidding, the specifications must be drafted to permit the widest possible competition
and, at the same time, present a clear statement of the required standards of
workmanship, materials, and performance of the goods and services to be procured.
Only if this is done will the objectives of economy, efficiency, and fairness in
procurement be realized, responsiveness of Bids be ensured, and the subsequent task
of bid evaluation facilitated. The specifications should require that all goods and
materials to be incorporated in the Works be new, unused, of the most recent or current
models, and incorporate all recent improvements in design and materials unless
provided otherwise in the Contract.
Samples of specifications from previous similar projects are useful in this respect. The
use of metric units is mandatory. Most specifications are normally written specially by
the Procuring Entity or its representative to suit the Works at hand. There is no standard
set of Specifications for universal application in all sectors in all regions, but there are
established principles and practices, which are reflected in these PBDs.
Care must be taken in drafting specifications to ensure that they are not restrictive. In
the specification of standards for goods, materials, and workmanship, recognized
international standards should be used as much as possible. Where other particular
standards are used, whether national standards or other standards, the specifications
should state that goods, materials, and workmanship that meet other authoritative
standards, and which ensure substantially equal or higher quality than the standards
mentioned, will also be acceptable. The following clause may be inserted in the SCC.
Wherever reference is made in the Contract to specific standards and codes to be met
by the goods and materials to be furnished, and work performed or tested, the
provisions of the latest current edition or revision of the relevant standards and codes
in effect shall apply, unless otherwise expressly stated in the Contract. Where such
standards and codes are national, or relate to a particular country or region, other
28
authoritative standards that ensure a substantially equal or higher quality than the
standards and codes specified will be accepted subject to the Procuring Entity’s
Representative’s prior review and written consent. Differences between the standards
specified and the proposed alternative standards shall be fully described in writing by
the Contractor and submitted to the Procuring Entity’s Representative at least twenty-
eight (28) days prior to the date when the Contractor desires the Procuring Entity’s
Representative’s consent. In the event the Procuring Entity’s Representative
determines that such proposed deviations do not ensure substantially equal or higher
quality, the Contractor shall comply with the standards specified in the documents.
These notes are intended only as information for the Procuring Entity or the person
drafting the Bidding Documents. They should not be included in the final Bidding
Documents.
