A new "Information protocol to support BS EN ISO 19650-2 the delivery phase of assets" (Edition 1: May 2020) has been published by the UK BIM Framework in association with the Construction Industry Council.   The protocol replaces the CIC BIM Protocol (second edition, 2018).

BS EN ISO 19650-2:2018 requires an Information Protocol to be produced and incorporated into all tiers of project appointments, from the tier one design team and contractor through to subcontractors and their suppliers.

The new template provides a useful example of what to include in a suitable Information Protocol.

While the accompanying guidance notes that parties should always take appropriate legal advice on a contract by contract basis, the Information Protocol template will provide a very useful starting point and should facilitate a common approach across the industry.
