	Once the contract for suppliers to design (and perhaps construct, and even operate) the development has been awarded, the successful supplier submits a post-contract BIM execution plan (BEP) providing more detail about their methodology, confirming their (and their supply chain’s) BIM capabilities and providing a master information delivery plan (MIDP). The master information delivery plan sets out when project information will be prepared, by whom, using what protocols and procedures - from the supplier's perspective (the employer's information requirements set this out from the employer's perspective). Where more than one supplier is appointed, there may be one overarching BIM execution plan and master information delivery plan, with responsibility for its preparation set out in appointment documents, and then secondary BIM execution plans prepared by subsequent suppliers, informed by the content of the primary plan.<br/>		Once the contract for suppliers to design (and perhaps construct, and even operate) the development has been awarded, the successful supplier submits a post-contract BIM execution plan (BEP) providing more detail about their methodology, confirming their (and their supply chain’s) BIM capabilities and providing a master information delivery plan (MIDP).
