Nguyen, V U (1985) Tender evaluation by fuzzy sets. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 111(3), pp. 231-243. ISSN 0733-9364
Abstract
The process of evaluating tenders is considered to be largely dependent on subjective judgment when cost is not the only criterion used. A systematic procedure based on fuzzy set theory and multicriteria modeling is proposed for the selection of bid contracts. The proposed procedure is suitable for a general tender evaluation process that may involve many decision-making parties and noninteractive multiple criteria. Illustrative examples are given for cases involving three major criteria: cost, present bid information, and past experience of tenderers.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
