The article describes the proceedings for the preparation of design documentation. Particular attention was paid to tender evaluation criteria in public procurement. The article also presents the results of research conducted on 100 procedures for the implementation of design documentation initiated in 2018 for three types of construction objects: buildings, sewage treatment plants and road. The aim of this research was to check what kind of criteria were used when selecting the most advantageous tender for the execution of design documentation. Contracting authorities are mostly using more than one criterion to evaluate tenders. The most frequent non-price criterion used is the experience of designers.
