| Abstract | The construction industry today is a highly competitive industry with an enormous amount of risk, particularly many conflicts, problems, adversity, and uncertainty. The construction projects are usually confronted with many conflicts, problems, and uncertainty due to a result of failure in selecting a competent contractor. To perform the project success, the owner’s team has an important role to figure out these many conflicts and problems such as schedule delays, cost overrun, low productivity, and contract disputes by being able to evaluate the contractor’s performance in the proper way. This study is based on quantitative research through questionnaires and carries on to first identify the contractor performance criteria in terms of prequalification criteria, tendering criteria, and tendering procedure and to help the project owners to assess the tenderer’s performance. Second, this study aims at describing how the contractor prequalification criteria, tendering criteria, and tendering procedure affect project performance. This study was conducted in Cambodia building consultant and construction companies to study effective contractor prequalification criteria, tendering criteria, and tendering procedure for being able to select the competent contractors. In each case, the criteria have been ranged the scores in order to facility the project owners are able to evaluate with flexibility. The result found that first financial consideration, past performance, and technical ability in contractor prequalification criteria; second price, technical skills, and methodology in contractor tendering criteria; third tender evaluation, tender submission, and contract award/execution in contractor tendering procedure respectively are important and should be applied when performing contractor prequalification and tendering systems in practice. They all are the main concern in order to achieve the successful projects. Based on the correlation analysis result, it shows that different contractor prequalification criteria, tendering criteria, and tendering procedure are significantly positively and differently affected on project performance. That means different contractor prequalification criteria, tendering criteria, and tendering procedure have different affects on project performance. Furthermore, the results from the correlation analysis show that Past performance, Technical ability, Management capability, Price, Methodology, Tender evaluation, and Tender submission are perceived to be the dominant contractor prequalification criteria affecting all project performance in terms of cost, time, quality, and customer’s satisfaction. While, Financial consideration were perceived to affect only time, quality, and customer’s satisfaction. At the same analysis, Technical skills, Relevant experience, Past performance in construction tendering, and Prequalification and Registration were perceived to affect only cost, time, and quality. But Contractor’s organization, Past experience, Resources, Management skills and systems, Contract award/execution, Tender opening, and Invitation to Tender did not show any correlation with project performance. Practically, the two case studies above showed the correlated study between quantitative and qualitative study. The result indicated that the factors among the construction tendering practices above were tended to the project successfully. |
