11、ndards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International or
12、ganizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules give
13、n in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 7
14、5 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 10845-4 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 59, B
15、uildings and civil engineering works. ISO 10845 consists of the following parts, under the general title Construction procurement: Part 1: Processes, methods and procedures Part 2: Formatting and compilation of procurement documentation Part 3: Standard conditions of tender Part 4: Standard conditio
16、ns for the calling for expressions of interest Part 5: Participation of targeted enterprises in contracts Part 6: Participation of targeted partners in joint ventures in contracts Part 7: Participation of local enterprises and labour in contracts Part 8: Participation of targeted labour in contracts
17、 ISO 10845-4:2011(E) ISO 2011 All rights reserved vIntroduction Procurement is the process which creates, manages and fulfils contracts. Procurement can, as such, be described as a succession of logically related actions occurring or performed in a definite manner and which culminate in the completi
18、on of a major deliverable or the attainment of a milestone. Processes, in turn, are underpinned by methods (i.e. a documented, systematically-ordered collection of rules or approaches) and procedures (i.e. the formal steps to be taken in the performance of a specific task), which are informed and sh
19、aped by the policy of an organization. Methods and procedures can likewise be documented and linked to processes. Expressions of interest request potential tenderers to register their interest in undertaking a specific contract or to participate in a project or programme and to submit their credenti
20、als so that they can be invited to submit a tender offer should they qualify or be selected to do so. Conditions for the calling for expressions of interest are required to establish procedures from the time that expressions of interest are called for to the time that respondents are invited to subm
21、it tender offers or are admitted to a database. Such conditions document the procedures, the manner in which those engaged in these processes are to behave, the obligations of the respondent, and the undertakings of the employer.

22、d 1Construction procurement Part 4: Standard conditions for the calling for expressions of interest 1 Scope This part of ISO 10845 sets out standard conditions for the calling for expressions of interest which a) bind the employer and respondent to behave in a particular manner, b) establish what is
23、 required for a respondent to submit a compliant submission, c) make known to respondents the evaluation criteria, and d) establish the manner in which the employer conducts the process of calling for expressions of interest. This part of ISO 10845 is intended for use in procurements relating to goo
24、ds, services and construction works and certain disposals other than by auction. NOTE 1 Annex A contains commentary on the clauses in this part of ISO 10845. Annex B provides guidance on how to develop the submission data for a call for expressions of interest using this part of ISO 10845. NOTE 2 IS
25、O 10845-2 establishes the manner in which calls for expressions of interest should be formatted and compiled. The standard conditions contained in this part of ISO 10845 can, by reference, be incorporated in procurement documents formatted and compiled in accordance with the provisions of ISO 10845-
26、2. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 conflict of interest any situation in which someone in a position of trust has competing professional or personal interests which make it difficult for him to fulfil his duties impartially, a

34、erest and the employers undertakings in administering the process of calling for and receiving expressions of interest ISO 10845-1:2010, definition 3.39 ISO 10845-4:2011(E) ISO 2011 All rights reserved 33 General requirements 3.1 Actions The employer and each respondent submitting an expression of i
35、nterest shall comply with the standard conditions for calling for an expression of interest in this part of ISO 10845. In their dealings with each other, they shall discharge their duties and obligations, as set out in Clauses 4 and 5, in a timely manner and with integrity, behave equitably, honestl
36、y and transparently, comply with all legal obligations and not engage in anti-competitive practices. The employer and the respondent and all their agents and employees involved in the submission process shall avoid conflicts of interest and where a conflict of interest is perceived or known, declare
37、 any such conflict of interest, indicating the nature of such conflict. Respondents shall declare any potential conflict of interest in their submissions.

The respondent shall not make a submission withou
39、t having a firm intention and the capacity to proceed with the next stage of the procurement process. NOTE 1 A conflict of interest can exist even if there are no improper acts as a result of it. This can arise due to a conflict of roles which might provide an incentive for improper acts in some cir
40、cumstances or positions. A conflict of interest can create an appearance of impropriety that can undermine confidence in the ability of that person to act properly in said circumstance or position. NOTE 2 Conflicts of interest with respect to those engaged in the procurement process include direct,
41、indirect or family interests in the tender or outcome of the procurement process and any personal bias, inclination, obligation, allegiance or loyalty which can in any way affect any decisions taken. 3.2 Supporting documents The documents issued by the employer for the purpose of obtaining expressio
