This stage defines the procurement process for information management. It ensures that the Appointing Party clearly communicates what information is needed, when it is needed, and how the quality of the delivery will be measured.
| TASK | APPOINTING PARTY | THIRD PARTY | LEAD APPOINTED PARTY | APPOINTED PARTY |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Establish the appointing party’s exchange information requirements (EIR) | R/A | C | ||
| Assemble reference information and shared resources | A | R | ||
| Establish tender response requirements and evaluation criteria | R/A | |||
| Compile invitation to tender information | A | R | I |
Manager's Note: The EIR established here is a critical legal document. While the Appointing Party is Accountable, a Third Party (like a BIM Consultant) is often Responsible for the technical assembly of the tender resources.
