Common Minimum Standards for the Built Environment

Current mandatory standards for the procurement of built environments in the public sector can be viewed in the document, Common Minimum Standards. (PDF)

Where a business case for a new programme or project includes a construction element, departments should ensure this is undertaken with full reference to the Common Minimum Standards.

Project team members including Investment Decision Makers, Senior Responsible Owners, Project Sponsors and Project Managers should take steps to understand and implement the Common Minimum Standards

Guidance has also been produced by the Local Government Task Force to assist local authorities
