STANDARD BIDDING DOCUMENT

For the

Procurement of
Small Works
May 2011
 Notice to Users

1. This Standard Bidding Document (SBD) has been prepared by the Bureau of Public
Procurement for the Procurement of Small Works and Related Services under National
Competitive Tendering (NCT) when financed by the National Budget and to enable a
Procuring Entity to select the lowest evaluated tender.

2. This STD dated ……is in accordance with the Procurement Act, and the policies and
procedures of the Regulations for Goods and Works, among others paragraphs 10-12
regarding the eligibility of Tenderers, and has been adapted to the needs of Nigeria
from internationally acceptable model formats. The STD when properly completed will
provide all the information that a Tenderer needs in order to prepare and submit a
Tender. This should provide a sound basis on which the Procuring Entity can fairly,
transparently and accurately carry out a Tender evaluation process on the Tenders
submitted by the Tenderers.

3. For small, lower value works usually no pre-qualification process takes place before the
Tender Document is issued. This document may be used for the Open Tendering method
and for the Selective Tendering method (“Shopping”), whereby Tenders are invited from
a list of pre-selected Tenderers.

4. This STD is for lump sum type Contracts priced against an activity schedule, listing the
main activities. A Breakdown of Lump Sum Prices showing rates and prices for all
items of the Works described in the Schedule of Works, including the delivery of
materials to the Site is provided separately to give a basis for processing progress
payments to the Contractor
Lump sum contracts are used for buildings, rehabilitation and other forms of construction
where the Works are well defined and are unlikely to change in quantity or specification,
and where encountering difficult or unforeseen site conditions (for example, hidden
foundation problems) is unlikely.

5. The following guidelines apply for the Procuring Entity when using this STD:
(a) check the relevance of the provisions of the STD against the requirements of
the specific Works to be procured;
(b) tailor the document to the circumstances of the particular Project. The
Procuring Entity should only introduce such adjustments in the Sections of the
STD which are specifically designed for this purpose: Section 2: the Special
Instructions to Tenderers (SIT); Section 4: the Special Conditions of Contract
(SCC); Section 6: Schedule of Works, including Specifications, and Section 7:
Drawings. Those details not filled by the Procuring Entity are the
responsibility of the Tenderer;
(c) but never change the Instructions to Tenderers;
(d) provide the specific information needed in the italicized notes inside brackets
and boxes. These notes should also specify where the Tenderer should provide
information. Footnotes and boxes solely prepared for the use of the
Procuring Entity are not part of the final STD to be issued and should be
removed from the final version;

i
 (e) retain the other notes and boxes which specify that they are guidance to the
Tenderers.
(f) indicate the name of the project, the contract number, the name of the
Procuring Entity and the date of issue on the cover of the document;
6. The Standard Tender Document for the Procurement of Works has the following
contents:
IFT Invitation for Tender (IFT): This is a repeat of the IFT which was published
in the media and on the website of the Procuring Entity announcing the Tender
and providing the essential information to prospective Tenderers to invite
them to participate. It is reprinted here for reference purposes only
Section 1 Instructions to Tenderers (ITT): The ITT are standard instructions which
guide the Tenderers how to prepare their tenders. Standard instructions mean
that they cannot be modified by the Procuring Entity. The ITT are based on
the Procurement Law and the Regulations for Goods and Works, from which
the procedures for tender submission, opening, evaluation and Contract award
have been derived. They clarify the general evaluation criteria for the selection
of the lowest evaluated responsive tenderer and describe the basic
qualifications of the Tenderer needed for contract execution. This Section
cannot be changed under any circumstances.
Section 2 Special Instructions to Tenderers (SIT). In this Section the Procuring Entity
supplements or adapts the relevant clauses of the ITT to the specific tender
information or project requirements where needed (name of the Procuring
Entity, tender submission date, specific evaluation criteria, amount of tender
security (if applicable), tender validity period, alternative tenders permitted or
not, fixed price contract or contract subject to price adjustment, works
completion date, level of performance security and advance payment
guarantee (if required) to be provided at contract signature, etc). Modifications
to the Instructions to Tenderers cannot change the Law or the Regulations.
Section 3 General Conditions of Contract (GCC). The GCC define the conditions of
contract for Works in Nigeria and are also based on the Procurement Law and
the Regulations for Goods and Works. Like the ITT, the GCC cannot be
modified or adapted by the Procuring Entity except through the Special
Conditions of Contract.
Section 4 Special Conditions of Contract (SCC). The SCC supplement or adapt the
relevant clauses of the GCC to the specific requirements of the contract (in
particular with respect to the starting date, description of the Works, insurance
requirements, percentage of advance payment, payment schedule, price
adjustment formula, subcontracting provisions, relationship with the
supervising engineer, percentage of retention money and/or performance
guarantee (security), liquidated damages, bonus and penalty provisions,
arbitration rules, etc.).
Section 5 Standard Tender and Contract Forms. This Section provides the standard
format for the Tender Submission Sheet, (Form W-1), Tenderer
Information Sheet (Form W-2) and Tender Security (Form W-3), if
required, to be submitted by the Tenderer.

ii
 This Section also contains the form of the Notification of Award (Form W-
4) and the Contract Agreement (Form W-5) which, when completed,
incorporates any corrections or modifications to the accepted Tender relating
to amendments permitted by the Instructions to Tenderers, the General
Conditions of Contract (GCC), and the Special Conditions of Contract (SCC).
The forms for Performance Security (Form W-6) and Advance Payment
Security (Form W-7) (when required) are to be completed by the successful
Tenderer after Contract award and these forms must be submitted by the
successful Tenderer as a condition of contract signature.
Section 6 Schedule of Works including Specifications: This Section provides the
items and estimated quantities of Works and Related Services to be performed,
as well as the detailed Technical Specifications that describe the Works to be
procured and must be carefully prepared by a Procuring Entity for each object
of procurement.
Section 7 Drawings: This Section contains any Drawings that supplement the Schedule
of Works including Specifications for the Works and Related Services to be
procured.

notes in italics mentioned for the relevant ITT Clauses

ITT Amendment of, and Supplements to, Clauses in the Instructions to Tenderers
Clause

A. General
ITT 1.1 The Employer is [state name of Employer] represented by [state name of
representative].
[the Employer is the unit or subdivision of the Procuring Entity which will issue the
Notification of Award and sign the Contract Agreement with the successful Tenderer.
Frequently the Employer is represented by a Chief Engineer, Superintending
Engineer, Executive Engineer, project director or other assigned person. See
Regulations for definition of a Procuring Entity.]

The Name of the Tender is

The number and identification of lots comprising the Tender lot are:

[if there is more than one lot, individual lots are to be identified in conformity with
Section 6: Schedule of Works].

ITT 2.1 The source of public funds is [state source FGN, or other source of funds]

ITT 2.3 The name of the Development Partner is [state name of Development Partner or
“None” as applicable].

ITT 4.1 [Choose option A or B, whichever is applicable, and delete the other option].
Option A: Restricted Tendering method:
The Invitation for Tenders is open to all Tenderers enlisted with [name of
Employer]. Option B: Open Tendering method
All Tenderers regardless of whether enlisted or not enlisted with the Employer may
submit Tenders providing they otherwise qualify.

ITT 4.4 [The following qualification criteria are only applicable for use with the Open
Tendering method. When adopting the Restricted Tendering method using enlisted
contractors, these criteria should not be used]

FGN STD Small Works – May 2011 Revision 1.0 12

 (a) Annual Turnover:
The required average annual turnover shall be greater than Naira [insert amount] over
the last [insert number] years:
As a guide, the required average annual turn over should be at least equal to the
estimated annual cash flow for the Contract. (It is preferable to be more), and the
period should be about 5 years minimum.
Example 1:
Estimated Contract Value: Naira 10 million
Contract period: 3 months
Monthly Cash flow: 30m N:3 = Naira 3.3 million
Estimated Annual Cash Flow: 12 x 3.3 m = Naira 39.6 M
[Required Average annual turnover would be Naira 40 million, using a multiplier of
1.0 as a minimum and rounding the figure, however it is not recommended to exceed
a multiplier of 1.5].
Example 2:
Estimated Contract Value: Naira 5 million
Contract Period: 2 months
Monthly Cash flow: 5m N:2 = Naira 2.5 million
Estimated Annual Cash Flow: 12 x 2.5 million = Naira 30 million
[Required Average annual turnover would be Naira 30 million, using a multiplier of
1.0 as a minimum, however it is not recommended to exceed a multiplier of 1.5].

(b) Experience:
The required number of similar contracts completed shall be [insert number] over a
period of [insert number] years.
[the minimum number will depend upon the size and type of construction work, and
the Employer should make its own judgement based upon its experience in the sector
and construction industry. For small contracts, it could be (1) similar work during
the past 3 or 5 years].

FGN STD Small Works – May 2011 Revision 1.0 13

 (c) Liquid Assets:
The minimum amount of liquid assets and/or credit facilities net of other contractual
commitments of the Tenderer shall be [insert amount].
[usually the required liquid assets are the equivalent of 2-6 months payment flow at
the average construction rate (straight line distribution). The actual period will
depend on the speed with which the Employer will pay the Contractor’s monthly
certificate, allowing time to prepare an invoice, for the Engineer’s time to certify it,
and contingency period for preparing the cheque and making actual payment].
Example:
Contract Value: Naira 10 million
Contract period: 3 months
Monthly payment: 10:3 = Naira 3.3 million
Assuming work time: 1 month
Invoice period: 0.5 month
Certification Time: 0.5 month
Contingency Time: 1 month
------------
3 months
Therefore, the minimum required liquid assets will be 3 x 3.3 m = Naira 9.9 million,
3 months cash flow based on the above assumptions.

 F. Award of Contract
ITT 32.1 The amount of Performance Security shall be [ ] percent of the Contract Price.
[It should not be less than five (5) percent and not exceed ten (10) percent of the
Contract Price. If, in addition, Retention Money is applied, the percentages of the
Performance Security and the Retention Money combined should not exceed fifteen
(15) percent . Higher percentages will require a more costly financing arrangement
between the Tenderer and its Bank or financial provider, and will only increase the
cost of the Tenders]
[The Performance Security shall be issued by a reputable bank or financial
institution selected by the Tenderer and acceptable to the Employer. A Tenderer may
request the Employer in advance if a particular issuing entity of a security is
acceptable. If an issuing entity is foreign but the security is otherwise in conformity
