ISO 19650 Example Template

Information Protocol

The Information Protocol defines the contractual requirements for managing information in accordance with ISO 19650.

For this project, the Information Protocol is intended to be incorporated into future appointment documents following tender award. At this stage, the requirements listed below set the expectations that all tendering parties shall consider when preparing their responses.

The Information Protocol will define requirements for:

Interpretation
Co-ordination and resolution of conflicts
Obligations of the appointing party
Obligations of the appointee and appointor
CDE solution and workflow
Management of information
Level of information need
Use of information
Transfer of information
Liability
Remedies – security

Protocol definitions

Why this matters

Defining Information Protocol expectations at the EIR stage ensures tendering parties understand the contractual approach to information management before appointment, while keeping detailed contractual clauses within the formal appointment documents issued post-award.
