Benchmarking contractor selection practices in public-sector construction- a proposed model

摘要

Benchmarking of best practices has proved useful in the business and manufacturing sectors. How- ever, benchmarking is not established in the construction industry in general and in government organizations in particular. A study of the contractor selection methodo- logies used by various clients confirms the multiplicity of approaches in practice. This paper aims at identifying some relevant 'best' practices and highlighting 'innovative' contractor selection approaches that have been used by large public clients.
