Procurement Route Decision Making Models/Theories • There are several tools or models available to support the decision making process. Among these are: • Peter R Hibberd • Surinder Singh • Roy Morledge • Love et al. • Chan et al.
Peter R Hibberd: Key Factors in Procurement • Classification is difficult-blurred edges, different perceptions • Identifying precise requirements is difficult and it may change. • Little firm evidence of strengths and weaknesses of each route. • Direct comparison of solutions is difficult. • Beware inappropriate human relationships and ineffective management. • Client involvement may be key issue. • Lack of feedback.
Key factors • Type of Client • Design Input • Management Team • Availability of resources • Level of risk • Legal Requirements
Other factors • Size of project. • Continuity of Project. • Previous problems. • Time available until completion. • Need to Change Design. • Phasing requirement.
Surinder Singh (1991)Love et al. (1998) • Multi attribute utility technique. • Utility (weighting) factors for projects attributes. • For each procurement route • Based on expert opinion in survey • Clients priority rating factors for projects' attributes • Tabular analysis.
Roy Morledge • Factual criteria- contracts in use. • Contractual relationships • Sequential relationships of design/ construction. • Apportionment of risk • Evaluative data-clients view about relative success: • Success of building in terms • Of intended use. • Value for money. • Quality – were specified standards achieved? • Were Key dates achieved. • Seek to establish relationships' between the two – e.g. between risk and satisfaction achieved.
Matters which might influence choice • The nature of the project • The scope of the works • Measure of control by the client • Accountability • Appointment of a contractor
Matters which might influence choice • Certainty of final cost • Start and completion times • Restrictions • Changes during construction • Assessment of risks • Building relationships with the supply chain

Procurement Selection Model – Chan et al. (2001) • Chan et al (2001) Application of Delphi method in selection of procurement systems for construction projects
Procurement Selection Model – Chan et al. (2001) • The selection model can be applied by following the following procedures (Chan and Yung, 2000). 1. The user reads all the priority questions and enters the relative importance of each criterion in the table on a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being the least important, and 5 being the most important. The prioritization exercise enables the users to specify their requirements according to the project needs and circumstantial factors. 2. Each priority rating is taken in turn and multi- plied by each of the utility factors, the results being entered into the appropriate columns. These are compared for all the criteria. 3. The totals of each of the result columns, under each procurement path, are calculated, and ranked in descending order. The most appropriate procedure should have the highest total result.
