| Abstract | With the wide variety of procurement options available, the selection of the most appropriate project procurement method has now become of considerable importance to the client as it is also one of the most important influencing factors in project outcome. Client must be provided appropriate, relevant and reliable advice on the method of procurement to be used based on the characteristics of each procurement method. A survey of 24 project procurement experts which includes six consultants, fourteen employers and four contractors were carried out, and were used to obtain experience and views to a variety of procurement methods and criteria used for selection. A weighted score model has been developed which can help the client in recommending a solution which best suits the employer's requirement based on client's priority rating of the given criteria. A reasonable level of consensus on the appropriate weights for each path is found except for quality level and complexity. The model can predict the most suitable procurement path once the client gives his assessment of the priority requirements in terms of speed, certainty, flexibility, complexity, quality level, risk avoidance, price competition and financing. |
