“…In the road construction industry, awarding road construction projects to the most suitable and affordable bidder with the lowest cost tender is the common standard over the world. However, the widespread acceptance of bids based on a low cost is why many road constructions companies and other individual participants in this field are unsatisfied with the present system [2,12]. Company CEOs and road construction managers frequently find that assigning and awarding a road project to the lowest bidder might not guarantee that the project aims, and objectives are achieved in terms of road quality, completion timeliness and the total cost of the project.…”

“…Company CEOs and road construction managers frequently find that assigning and awarding a road project to the lowest bidder might not guarantee that the project aims, and objectives are achieved in terms of road quality, completion timeliness and the total cost of the project. Numerous road contractors are also dissatisfied with how road projects are awarded, where low cost is the sole criteria for awarding a project [2]. The obligation to ensure high quality in road construction projects might preclude the lowest bidder from being awarded the project.…”

“…The term innovation in the road industry refers to several factors: the use of sustainable materials and resources for road construction such as recycled materials and foamed bitumen, and utilizing technological innovation that comprises the use of suitable technologies to incorporate effective innovation in the road sector [2,4] Innovative technology includes the use of automatic and computerised information systems for traffic signs, the use of solar technology in road construction to improve road quality and efficiency, including the use of best practice in engineering, more harmony between the public and private sectors, and enhanced quality control in processes by the use of different methods and techniques [1,4,9,10]. The literature indicates that governments spend a large portion of their budget on road construction as well as road maintenance, therefore, there using new and innovation methods and techniques in road construction would be highly beneficial.…”

Tender evaluation is the procedure of choosing the best contractor for a particular project from many applicants. Although rational and logical methods can be used for bidding strategies, bid evaluation remains a skill for which an engineer’s verdict is crucial. Contractors commonly witness that tender selection is not an easy job, and the lowest bid does not necessarily win the contract. The tender decision mainly depends on quantifiable measures such as financial costs and paybacks, and qualitative or invisible factors like administrative security accountability, aptitude, and the proficiency of the contractors. Moreover, Bid evaluation is a decision-making procedure that incorporates an extensive criteria range for which the information is not accordingly. Hence, ambiguity linked to such information is not appropriate for this study. This paper aims to evaluate innovation during the bid evaluation process in the road industry. The research results indicate that the private and public sectors in Australia offer innovative products and work methods, given the chance. Therefore, innovation during the bid evaluation process is welcomed and sometimes strongly encouraged. Further, it is important to have strong research in to how to effectively determine value for money in the context of developing suitable and quality roads. Therefore, this research is useful in the context of evaluating factors that help to understand value for money in the road sector in context of bid evaluation process.
