Seo, Y C and Hyan, C T (2004) Procurement system selection model reflecting past performance. Journal of Construction Procurement, 10(2),
Abstract
The procurement system defines the overall framework for executing the project, including the responsibilities and authorities of the participants in the construction process. An appropriate procurement system for the project is the key factor that contributes to the project's success and overall client satisfaction. The selection of such a system is one of the most important decisions the owner has to make in the early phase of the project, and is critical to the project participants. The problem lay in the fact that there were no systematic and practical approaches in selecting an appropriate procurement system. A project procurement system selection model (PPSSM) was developed in this study to help public clients select an appropriate procurement system more efficiently and logically to reflect the past performances of their projects. The model consisted of four phases: identification, matrix evaluation, suitability judgment, and implementation and feedback. To draw and determine the selection criteria and the utility scores of procurement systems more objectively, this study analyzed the performance of past construction projects based on each procurement system, and these results were reflected in the process of the procurement system selection. It is concluded that PPSSM can enhance trust among the parties involved in the construction by emphasizing past performance.

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
