“…The PLR provides the researcher with the idea of the study's topic and other tentative structures of the study background and problem statement [50]. However, it must be emphasized that the PLR is not supposed to be confused for the main literature review, which sets the foundation for the entire study and informs the study's methodology structure, including the research paradigm, data solicitation, and analysis.…”

“…This study aims to conduct a detailed and structured literature review on how e-procurement has evolved to this present technological age focusing on the adoption strategies in relation to its evolution. The SLR, which often takes the form including bibliometric, scientometric, and content reviews, among other forms, has been identified to be a powerful research approach for investigating both past and present theories, epistemological stances of theoretical underpinnings, hypotheses, and the foundations for the development of conceptual theories and frameworks [50,51]. It has been applied to investigate several topical issues and constructs discussed in the construction and project management scholarship domain to extend the knowledge of several subject matters within the field.…”

“…However, due to the need to avoid double counting or retrieval of the same manuscript across multiple platforms (which can lead to the daunting task of discarding repeated publications), this study resorted to the use of only Scopus academic repository to retrieve all the related manuscripts for further investigation. Thus, owing to the advantage of adopting Scopus, as highlighted earlier, additional justifications for using Scopus included the coverage of wide scholarly publications and its comparatively faster indexing process, which enhances the chances of retrieving more extant manuscripts as compared to the other sources [50]. As a result, it has been widely employed as the number one go-to database for most construction management-related studies [50].…”

Since the advent of the first form of electronic procurement (EP), the procurement process (i.e., the stages and underlying activities) has evolved to transform the world of commerce significantly. In the construction industry, EP has revolutionized the operational schema of traditional procurement and has paved the way for the development, advancement, and application of more intelligent tools for handling and executing procurement activities of infrastructure-related works. Although the development or adoption of EP-related tools has not been encouraging due to the industry’s conservative nature, in this study, we review the evolution and developments of EP to date. It explores the adoption and implementation strategies of extant and projected EP developments and develops a conceptual framework to explicate the developmental transitions of EP. While there are many studies on EP, there is still a long way to transition into a more intelligent execution of EP-related activities. A total of 64 EP-related manuscripts and other valuable studies were examined to realize the stipulated objective as well as identify the thematic constructs developed under the subject matter. The explorations conducted in this study are intended to contribute to the understanding of the extant discussion on both EP and smart procurement (SP), their adoption strategies, implementation, and applications in infrastructure projects. It elucidates the significant constructs that define and underpin the theoretical implications of EP and SP adoption and implementation. Lastly, the framework highlights the projected developments and transition phases of EP to intelligent procurement (IP).

Blockchain - smart contracts have emerged as a new value proposition in improving certain aspects of sustainability in projects. However, there is little knowledge on how smart contracts can be leveraged to stimulate sustainable project performance from the integrated perspective. This study aims to capture the latest research development and applications of smart contracts for sustainable outcomes throughout the project lifecycle. Bibliometric and content analyses were conducted to critically review smart contracts and sustainable project performance. The results show that various new applications of smart contracts for sustainability have become more popular in the architecture, engineering, construction, and operation (AECO) industry. A smart contracts-sustainable project performance framework has been developed to fill up the research gaps for improving each dimension of sustainability and the integrated dimensions of sustainability during the project lifecycle. This study renders important implications for promoting sustainable project performance in the context of the engineering, construction, and operation industry, particularly for the required interdisciplinary research and practice in smart contracts.
