📑 BILL OF QUANTITIES (BOQ) — WHY IS IT IMPORTANT IN TENDERING?
A Bill of Quantities is a structured document that describes construction work items and provides quantities and units used for pricing and procurement, according to the applicable tender arrangements.
🔹 What Does a BOQ Usually Contain?
📌 Item number.
📌 Description of work.
📌 Unit of measurement.
📌 Quantity.
📌 Unit rate, where required.
📌 Total amount, where required.
🏗️ Example
If the quoted unit rate is 5,000 currency units per m³, the amount for this illustrative item is: 10 × 5,000 = 50,000 currency units.
🔹 Why Is the BOQ Important?
✅ Provides a structured pricing format.
✅ Supports tender comparison where applicable.

✅ Supports valuations and cost monitoring under the contract.
⚠️ Always follow the official BOQ format, measurement rules, and tender instructions. Do not change prescribed quantities or descriptions unless permitted.
