The UK Learning Outcomes Framework is a free resource to support the development of training content for BIM aligned with current standards. Based upon the BIM Academic Forum’s ‘Learning Outcomes Framework’ (2012), this completely refreshed schedule, updated for the BS EN ISO 19650 series, is the result of collaboration between academics, UK construction industry education professionals and the UK BIM Framework member organisations, the British Standards Institute (BSI), the Centre for Digital Built Britain (CDBB), and the UK BIM Alliance (UKBIMA).
The learning outcomes resource includes:
➢ Why information management using BIM is required, and its strategic context in the UK
➢ The implications and value of information management using BIM for organisations
➢ How information requirements are identified and communicated
➢ How information is shared between organisations
➢ Understanding the legal and security implications of the UK BIM Framework and its interfaces with other important processes such as health and safety management.
UK BIM Framework Learning Outcomes is aligned with buildingSMART UK Chapter’s Professional Certification (PCERT)1.
Amendments to the laws will allow for the clients to establish requirements and (or) criteria in the procurement documents for the application of BIM methods in cases and in accordance with the procedures established by the Government or its authorized institution.
Amendments are designed to enable the application of Building Information Modelling methods in the design, construction and installation of public sector buildings and objects.

The Goverment of the Republic of Lithuania approved the mandatory application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) methods. Resolution defines the cases (the value of the project, type of construction, type of structure) in which public contracting authorities will have to specify in the procurement documents the requirements and (or) criteria for the application of mandatory BIM methods.

buildingSMART Chapter Slovenia is a local branch of the international organization buildingSMART International (bSI), which is the leading initiator of the development of open BIM standards in the field of digitalization of the built environment. buildingSMART Chapter Slovenia operates within the Association for Information Modeling of Construction, siBIM. The mission of the buildingSMART Chapter Slovenia is the promotion of open BIM in Slovenia and everything related to it: support for the development of open standards in bSI and local promotion and implementation at home. The main goal is to educate the stakeholders involved, to implement current transfers of information and data within BIM processes with the help of developed open standards, especially between all software tools.
BuildingSMART Chapter Slovenia has set itself the following specific tasks for the period 2021 – 2023:
· Raising awareness and educating the Slovenian professional public about the importance of open BIM standards;
· Active participation in local initiatives related to the digitization of the built environment;
· Organizing the implementation of bSI educational programs and certifications;
· Encouraging and involving our members in working groups within bSI;
· Cooperation with other Chapters and exchange of experiences.
The number of projects where the BIM approach is required in design and construction is now constantly increasing in Slovenia, for now even more pronounced in the private sector than in the public sector. With this guide, everyone who prepares tender documents for contracting authorities will have an easier solution and a transparent tool for preparing BIM approach requirements, while providers of these services will know exactly what they need to produce and deliver to the contracting authority under the contract. This manual will serve all those involved in investments: clients, consultants, designers and contractors. Above all, it will serve all engineers and architects who will use the BIM approach and thus increase efficiency in the implementation of investments for clients.
This document is intended for clients of investments in the field of construction, which in the project task include the BIM approach. The functional and content requirements of the project are defined in the basic project assignments. This document (Requirements of the contracting authority for the development of the BIM model) is an annex to the basics of the project task and thus an integral part of the tender documentation. The recommendations set out in document, should be adapted to the specific requirements of the project and serve only to assist in planning the implementation of the BIM approach in the project. The document summarizes the contents of various national guidelines, which are adapted on the basis of experience from pilot BIM projects implemented in Slovenia.

The Building Act (GZ-1) was published and adopted by the National Assembly of he Republic of Slovenia in December 2021. This law governs the conditions for the construction of buildings and other issues relating to the construction of buildings.
The purpose of this Law is to protect the public interest in the construction of buildings. The public interest referred to shall include, in particular, the safety of buildings, respect for the principle of equal opportunities, protection of the environment, nature conservation, protection of waters, protection of cultural heritage, promotion of sustainable construction, coherence of the placement of buildings in the space, architecture as an expression of culture, recording, usefulness, efficiency, quality of the buildings and their consistency with the environment throughout their life cycle. The act mentions that, project documentation for the facilities referred to in this Law are to be produced by means of information-based design (BIM).
It is obvious that if contracting authorities want to cooperate regularly and steadily with quality suppliers and enable them to deliver quality, they need to change their approach. When evaluating tenders we need to reduce the pressure on the bid price and give room for quality. In the Czech environment, no universal bid evaluation model has yet been reliably enforced. There are also no bid evaluation standards for specific industries of intellectually demanding services (typically eg IT consulting, software development and delivery). This situation is long-term and has its objective reasons, consisting mainly in the current very strict view of review bodies (whether by the Office, courts or grant providers) on qualitative evaluation, as well as a total lack of methodological support to develop good practice.
In the spirit of other methodological activities of the ?AS agency, this document also builds on the already existing methodological documents. This document explains the methodology of public procurement using BIM, in connection with the evaluation of bids, especially for the evaluation of bids according to a ranking system for construction works and services, which was developed for the State Fund for Transport Infrastructure (SFDI).
Public institution “Skaitmenine statyba” (“Digital Construction”) is an organization that joins associations of Lithuanian construction sector and coordinates the digitalization process of Lithuanian construction.
