Division of items in the preliminaries bill

The standard method has five main divisions or categories of items that can
be put in the Class A preliminaries bill:
1. ‘contractual requirements’ (bond and insurances);
2. ‘specified requirements’;
3. the ‘method-related charges’ referred to above which the tenderer is to insert;
4. ‘provisional sums’;
5 and 6. ‘Nominated sub-contracts’, which include work done on site, and
work, such as manufacture, done off site respectively.
