Legal Rules

The article analyses legal rules of public procurement having a direct impact or possibly influencing the quality of architecture of buildings built using state or municipality funds. Also relevant questions of construction regulation, bounding public clients as builders when organizing public tenders related to design of buildings and implementing solutions of the design, are discussed herein. The main attention is paid to the most frequently disputed problems – the architect selection procedure and setting down of requirements for the architectural design. Based on the research of the legal acts and other related sources the conclusions in this article reveal the shortcomings of the current construction and public procurement regulations preventing the effective reaching of the goals declared by national and EU legal acts in order to secure the quality architecture, being one of the subjects of public matter.

Design–build (DB) is adopted as a project delivery method in hopes to improve performance. Previous studies focus on upstream issues such as conditions for adoption and contractor selection, but few address the design and construction coordination issues that are very likely to be encountered in execution by new users. This paper investigates coordination problems arising from design and construction concurrence and solutions by studying five ongoing DB projects and interviewing nine major contract parties. Inconsistent application of the design and construction process and infrequent feedback are two major problems found to have high influence on DB execution. A work unit planning process with five steps is presented in this paper to help better manage the design and construction coordination of a DB project.

AbstractOne of the key steps in the implementation of a public procurement process is the criteria selection that are associated with the bidders, which are intended to ensure that bidders will be able to meet the requirements from the contract. Implicitly, the criteria selection includes their evaluation in situations when the criterion of the lowest price is not applied, but instead the criterion of the most economically advantageous tender. The aim of the paper is to show that decision-makers in the public sector can use multi-criteria analysis for the efficient and fair public procurement process implementation and the establishment of objective conditions for the contract awarding in accordance with the general social interests. In this sense, the paper presents a comparative approach to the Analytic Hierarchy Process and Analytic Network Process as the methods of support in decision making, measurement and evaluation criteria for the selection of the best bids in the procurement process. Hierarchical model with five criteria and nine sub-criteria and the network model, which takes into account the mutual influences of criteria, were developed in a hypothetical public procurement selection procedure for the best performers for the construction of the infrastructure facility. Selection of the best bidder, i.e. bids for the realization of the work, is distinctive, multi-criteria problem which includes both qualitative and quantitative factors.

The current tendering process has vulnerabilities that can be exploited to negatively impact project delivery. There are many research papers that discussed the occurrences of these exploitations (i.e., funds embezzlement, fraud invoicing, etc.), but there has not been one that focused on the study of the tendering process itself, nor presented problem analysis and mitigation options. The aims of this research are to identify and analyze problems in every stage of public tendering process, then offer potential solutions to resolve or curb these problems. In addition to utilizing publicly available studies and interviews were used as starting point of problems identifications. Questionnaires were then distributed to tendering practitioners. Likert scale assessment and factor analysis were used to measure the questionnaires and analyze the data respectively, while proposed solutions were established from experts’ judgement.This study showed that there are 135 problems that occur during tendering process. The most common problem is the bidding system’s inability to provide a complete database of contractors with their personnel, past works and experiences, and performance evaluation. The limited human resources in both number and competency is another important issue to consider. Proposed solution to solve these issues are based on four pillars of reformation concept done by public procurement agency.

Using Data

Selecting an appropriate contractor or supplier is essential to the successful implementation of a public procurement project. The Taiwan government frequently applies the best-value (BV) tendering method, a multi-criteria evaluation method, to procure projects. However, the selection process of the winner for a BV-based procurement project is generally subjective and thus is easily accused of corruptions. To develop a systematic method to support contractor selection, this study proposes using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to facilitate the criteria evaluations for each bidder during the short-listing stage. The evaluation results of using the DEA are a list of potential BV winners who are then suggested to enter into the final selection stage. Based on three case studies related to service procurement projects, this research finds that the DEA is suitable of assessing the relative efficiencies among bidders when the BV approach is applied. Lessons learned here should be helpful in applying the DEA to aid bid evaluations in other supplier selection problems.

Contractors are the main players in construction industry. Appropriate selection of contractor is crucial in determining the future performance of a project in any case. Sometimes this selection procedure is performed without proper consideration and deliberate methodology that it merits, thus bringing negative outcomes. This paper proposes a performance-based contractor selection approach that will empower the utilization of expert’s experience and data. A flexible performance-based contractor selection system is proposed to bolster this decision-making process. To characterize and design the system, semi structured interviews and questionnaire surveys were led within public sector concentrating on the way that the selection process is carried out in practice and the evaluation connected with it. A prototype of a Flexible Performance-Based Contractor Selection System (FPCSS) was developed by using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The system is validated by construction industry professionals in public sector. As a conclusion, the FPCSS is a significant tool for contractor selection, by helping organizations to select a competent contractor and decrease the subjectivity of the decision-making process. The advantage as gave by the system favours a reliable indicator to predict performance of construction project by selecting a contractor based on his best performan

Descriptive Survey

This study assessed the tendering report processes and their effect on public project delivery in Nigeria. The study was carried out at the Federal University of Technology Owerri, where ongoing and completed projects in the institution were assessed. The study is a descriptive survey employed questionnaires, interviews, and documentary records as a research instrument. The sample size comprised of 50 procurement professional and public projects experts in various selected units in the institution as respondents. The research objectives were analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency as a tool that was computed using Microsoft Excel and presented in the form of charts and histograms. Qualitative data collected from interviews with respondents were recorded by using tape recorders and then transcribed. The outcome of the study reveals that the current tendering process in Nigeria has vulnerabilities that can be exploited to negatively impact public project delivery. The study recommends that there should be strict adherence to global standards in contractor selection and this should be based on objectivity, flexibility, reliability, and adaptability of the chosen criteria as they apply to projects peculiarities.
