In this episode of Public Works Contracts in Ireland, we explore Guidance Note GN1.5.3 and its focus on the structure and importance of the Pricing Document in public works contracts. The Pricing Document outlines the contractor’s pricing breakdown, detailing costs across project elements and establishing the basis for payment and financial assessment. We discuss its role in contract transparency, how it facilitates budget management, and its use in comparing tender submissions. This session is key to understanding the Pricing Document's role in ensuring cost control and accountability throughout the lifecycle of a public works project.
