Having designed 100% of the project clearly indicates that your client has elected to let the project on Build only basis ( contrasted to Design and Build) which sbsequently indicates that your client has been willing to accept the risks associated with inaccurate design and quantity calculations upfront. Accordingly I recommend providing BOQ to tenderers and rendering it contractual. I also recommend deploying a schedule of prices and rates for the sake of assessing variations and change orders forwhich this procurement option has significant potential.
I do obviousely argue that a lump sum contract will not be adequate for this case and your client would rather attempt other contractual arrangements such as GMP.

I've decided to put the BOQ's to the Form of Tender (not into the Contract Documents) for facilitating the proposal preparation of Tenderers and to better evaluate the proposals . The payments will be through a Pricing Schedule, which will be contractual.
Better not to issue BOQ .Usually In Lump sum Project no need of issuing BOQ. Its all contractors risk to calculate the quantity & do the costing so risk is with contractor.So better not to issue BOQ & make it a part of contract document

Hi Cadgas
You said the designer has prepared the BOQ for you to calculate the Lump Sum.
If it is not your own take off then it is essential that the BOQ becomes a contract document in case there are inaccuracies in the billed quantities.
This works both ways of course because some could be over measured.
