Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has
been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 10845-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 59, Building construction, Subcommitee SC18,
Construction Procurement.ISO 10845 consists of the following parts, under the general title Construction procurement:
⎯ Part 1: Processes, methods and procedures⎯ Part 2: Formatting and compilation of procurement documentation
⎯ Part 3: Standard conditions of tender
⎯ Part 4: Standard conditions for the calling for expressions of interest
⎯ Part 5: Participation of targeted enterprises in contracts
⎯ Part 6: Participation of targeted partners in joint ventures in contracts
⎯ Part 7: Participation of local enterprises and labour in contracts
⎯ Part 8: Participation of targeted labour in contracts
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 10845-1:2010)
The main changes to the previous edition are:
⎯ definitions and parts of the text have been revised, updated and aligned with other parts of ISO 10845 to
ensure consistency in concepts and terms;⎯ the considerations in the development of a procurement policy and provisions for framework agreements
have been expanded;⎯ provisions for a confined market selection procedure and design competitions have been added;
⎯ the informative annexes relating to best value procurement and adjudication procedures to challenge
decisions have been withdrawn;© ISO 2020 – All rights reserved i

Introduction
Procurement is the process which creates, manages and fulfils contracts. There are accordingly three phases
to the procurement process associated with the delivery and maintenance of construction works, namely:
• a planning phase during which decisions are made as to what, where and when goods and services
are required, how the market is to be approached and what is the number, type, nature and timing of
the required contracts;• an acquisition phase during which contracts are entered into following the execution of a selection
procedure; and• a contract management (or contract administration) phase during which compliance with requirements,
changes in requirements and risk events which manifest during the execution of contracts are
managed.Procurement activities commence once the need for procurement is identified and end when the transaction is
completed. There are six principal activities associated with the procurement process, namely:
1) establish what is to be procured;2) decide on procurement strategies in terms of packaging, contracting and targeting strategy and selection
method (see ISO 22058 which is under development);3) solicit tender offers;
4) evaluate tender offers;
5) award contract;
6) administer contracts and confirm compliance with requirements.
Methods, procedures and operational policies are required to implement these principal activities. There is a
finite range of methods and procedures associated with the various procurement sub-processes which can be
standardized around a set of system objectives. Public, private, international organizations and main
contractors can then establish their procurement systems around these standard procedures and methods.
Contractors who contract with such organizations can in turn be required, as an obligation of the contract, to
apply relevant standard procedures and methods when procuring goods and services or subcontracting
construction works associated with their contracts.This part of ISO 10845 is one of a series of International Standards entitled “Construction procurement” which
cover various aspects of procurement within the construction industry. Each part of the series relates to a
different aspect of procurement. The objective of this series of standards is to provide a generic and standard
set of processes, procedures and methods for a procurement system that is fair, equitable, transparent,
competitive and cost-effective and which can be used to promote objectives additional to those associated
with the immediate objective of the procurement itself.Standardization, apart from removing technical barriers to trade, enables
a) those engaged in procurement activities to perform their duties, within the confines of their organization's
procurement policy, in a uniform and generic manner;b) procurement documents to be readily compiled in a uniform and generic manner; and
c) curricula to be developed to capacitate those engaged in a range of procurement activities.

ISO/DIS 10845-1:2020(E)
Furthermore, it allows governments to readily develop an internal procurement-skills base, which is not lost
when members of staff move between different departments or levels of government or organizations.
This series of standards is especially relevant for developing countries that lack experience and instruments in
this field and can be used to improve international trade. This part of ISO 10845 provides a framework around
which public, private and international organizations can develop their procurement systems to achieve fair
competition, to reduce the possibilities for abuse and to improve predictability in procurement outcomes.

Construction procurement —
Part 1:
Processes, methods and procedures
1 Scope
This part of ISO 10845 describes processes, methods and procedures for the establishment within an
organization of a procurement system that is fair, equitable, transparent, competitive and cost-effective. This
part of ISO 10845a) describes generic procurement processes around which an employer can develop its procurement
system,b) establishes basic requirements for the conduct of an employer's employees, agents, board members and
office bearers when engaging in procurement,c) establishes the framework for the development of an employer's procurement policy, including any
secondary procurement policy, andd) establishes generic methods and procedures for procurements, including those pertaining to disposals.
Guidance on the application of certain clauses is provided in Annex A. Differences between categories of
procurement are indicated in Annex B. Generic procurement processes are described in Annex D. Guidance
is provided on sustainable procurement in construction works contracts (Annex C), the establishment of a
procurement system and the management of procurement processes (Annex E), standard selection methods
(Annex F) and targeted procurement procedures (Annex G). Suggested Auction Data is provided in Annex H.
NOTE: 1 This part of ISO 10845 provides a generic and standard set of processes, procedures and methods for a
procurement system which can be applied by both the public and private sector organisations in the
development of their procurement system. The principles contained in this standard can also be applied down
the supply chain.2 This standard enables organisations to develop in the first instance a generic procurement system and then to
identify the methods and procedures best suited to particular categories.2 Normative references

a) in a manner which is fair, equitable, transparent, competitive and cost-effective and which may, subject to
the policies of an employer and any prevailing legislation, include the promotion of other objectives, in
accordance with the requirements of Table 1, andb) around a process which commences once the need for procurement is identified, ends when the
transaction is completed and includes the attainment of procedural milestones which enable the system
to be controlled and managed (see Annex D).The employer's executive shall designate persons to undertake the actions associated with the attainment of
procedural milestones (see Annex E).NOTE Annex D provides generic procurement processes which incorporate activities linked to procedural milestones. A
procurement system can be developed around these generic processes.Table 1 — Basic procurement system requirements
Attribute Basic system requirement
Fair The process of offer and acceptance is conducted impartially without bias and provides participating
parties simultaneous and timely access to the same information.Terms and conditions for performing the work do not unfairly prejudice the interests of the parties.
Equitable The process of offer and acceptance is fair and just.The only grounds for not awarding a contract to a tenderer who complies with all requirements are
restrictions from doing business with the employer, lack of capability or capacity, legal impediments
and conflicts of interest.Transparent The procurement process and criteria upon which decisions are to be made are publicized. Decisions
(award and intermediate) are made publicly available, together with reasons for those decisions. It is
possible to verify that criteria were applied.The requirements of procurement documents are presented in a clear, unambiguous, comprehensive
and understandable manner.Competitive The system provides for appropriate levels of competition to ensure fair and cost-effective outcomes.
Cost-effective The processes, procedures and methods are standardized with sufficient flexibility enabling best-value
outcomes in respect of quality, timing and cost and least resources to effectively manage and control
procurement processes.Decision making focusses on the attainment of value for money through the evaluation of relevant
costs and benefits together with the assessment of risks.Promotion of The system may incorporate measures to promote objectives associated with a secondary
other objectives procurement policy (see 4.4) subject to qualified tenderers not being excluded and deliverables or
evaluation criteria being measurable, quantifiable and monitored for compliance.4.1.2 Responding to decisions taken
The employer shall provide, upon request, written reasons to respondents and tenderers for any decisions
that are taken during a call for an expression of interest and an invitation to tender, but may withhold
information whicha) would not be in the public interest to be divulged,
b) is considered to prejudice the legitimate commercial interests of tenderers and respondents, or
c) might prejudice fair competition between tenderers.Organizations should consider, when developing their procurement systems, how challenges resulting from
the outcomes of the tender process should be dealt with.6 © ISO 2020 – All rights reserved
