Assessment of Qualification Criteria Described in Public Procurement Law Code 4734 in Construction Works by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)

Abstract

Turkish public procurement law and secondary regulations describes tender evaluation in detail. In this system, bidders’ capabilities on each qualification criteria are evaluated either as satisfied or not satisfied. This method is criticized as incomplete and lacking consideration in terms of the contractor’s ability to achieve simultaneously, time, cost, quality and safety standards. In this study, as a first step in tender evaluation, each qualification criteria is put into tender evaluation making tender evaluation a multi criteria decision making problem and group AHP method is used to identify the weights of qualification criteria already in use.
