Scope

ISO 22058:2022 provides guidance on options for engaging the market to meet a client’s need for new or refurbished construction works and on the development of procurement strategies and tactics for projects of any size, complexity or life‑cycle stage. The guidance addresses strategic considerations (objectives, analyses, packaging and contracting choices) and tactical matters required to implement procurement strategies effectively. The standard is intended for use by clients, owners and entities within supply chains across public, private and community sectors.

Key topics and requirements

• Options for market engagement and contracting models (including responsibilities for design, financing and interface management).
• Framework for procurement strategy development: strategic considerations, procurement objectives, spend/organizational/market/stakeholder analysis.
• Packaging strategy and work‑package identification (including framework and non‑framework agreements).
• Contracting strategy and selection of appropriate standard contract forms and pricing approaches.
• Targeting strategies and key performance indicators for procurement performance.
• Selection and tendering methods, and documentation to record and implement procurement strategy.
• Tactics for implementation: publicity, sequencing, tactical variables in offer/acceptance, approaches to achieve quality and specific contract conditions.

These topics are reflected in the standard’s clause structure and guidance material.

Typical use and users

Primary users are clients, project owners, procurement professionals, contract managers, project and programme managers, construction consultants and public‑sector procurement teams. The guidance supports development of procurement strategies for single projects or programmes and is suitable for use by organisations of varying size and sector (private, public, community) that procure construction works, goods or related services.

Related standards

ISO 22058:2022 sits alongside national and international procurement and construction standards and guidance (for example, earlier national codes of practice such as BS 8534). National adoptions and related ISO/BS documents (e.g., ISO/BS permutations of construction procurement series and related contract standards) provide complementary procedural and contractual detail. Where organisations have previously relied on national codes (for example BS 8534:2011), ISO 22058:2022 is the contemporary international guidance to consult when updating procurement policies and procedures.
