This document guides borrowers on how to prepare a bidding document for a unit price type of work contracts and evaluate bids and award contracts.

This User’s Guide is intended to provide guidance to borrowers on how to prepare a bidding document for an admeasurement (unit price) type of works contract, and how to evaluate bids and award contracts, based on the Asian Development Bank’s Standard Bidding Document for the Procurement of Works that are available for cases of “with” and “without” prequalification.
