“…This is due to the fact that transparency discourages corrupt-related practices, thereby promoting accountability and fairness, which are essential drivers of VfM. Nevertheless, these findings align with the assumptions of governance theory (Williams & Young, 1994;Glas et al, 2018), as well as the arguments that transparent processes lead to better-informed procurement stakeholders and increased competition amongst contractors, all of which contribute to achieving better performance and VfM achievement (Bauhr et al, 2020;Brito & Miguel, 2017;Sayi & Monko, 2022). Second, the findings demonstrated a positive and statistically significant effect of accountability on VfM.…”

“…These principles provide a framework for the effective utilisation of public resources and promote good practices. The governance theory considers these principles as essential elements through which governments and PEs can enhance prosperity and improve performance (Bevir, 2011;Shakya, 2015;Glas, Gaus, & Ebig, 2018;Panga, 2021). The performance of construction projects is assessed based on cost-effectiveness over their entire lifecycle, quality standards and timely delivery, all of which contribute to the measurement of VfM (Sayi & Monko, 2022;McArdle & Gunning, 2018).…”

“…The legislative instruments and oversight entities in place aim to ensure that publicfunded projects are planned, implemented and delivered on time, achieving better quality and cost-effectiveness, whilst also considering sustainability, innovation and stakeholder satisfaction (Israel, 2023;Glas et al, 2018;Brito & Miguel, 2017). These goals are integral to VfM achievement and must be considered when evaluating the success of construction projects (Ibrahim, Bawole, Obuobisa-Darko, Abubakar, & Kumasey, 2017;Nyanyofio, Domfeh, Buabeng, Maloreh-Nyamekye, & Appiah-Agyekum, 2022).…”

PurposeThe study aims to explore the role of procurement of good governance (PGG) on value for money (VfM) achievement in public construction projects. By investigating various dimensions of PGG, including transparency, accountability, competition and integrity, this study provides insights into how these factors contribute to the successful achievement of VfM outcomes in public construction projects.Design/methodology/approachThe data were sourced from 203 construction project practitioners from 24 selected procuring entities in Tanzania using a census approach and a cross-sectional questionnaire survey. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM) were used for data analysis.FindingsThe findings of the study revealed a positive and significant impact of various dimensions of PGG on VfM. Specifically, transparency, accountability, competition and integrity were positively and significantly related to VfM, with p-values <0.001. Based on the study findings, we conclude that PGG is an important predictor of VfM achievement in public construction projects.Practical implicationsThe study offers policy implications for streamlined PGG and VfM achievement in public construction projects. It is suggested that procuring entities can enhance VfM by enforcing compliance with the principles of PGG throughout the entirety of construction projects. In this case, streamlined legislative frameworks and control mechanisms are crucial components that could enhance PGG and the achievement of VfM.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the academic literature on the strategic role of PGG in enhancing VfM achievement. This is one of the research domains, which has not been adequately researched, particularly in Tanzania’s context. In addition, the study provides valuable insights to policymakers, practitioners and stakeholders involved in public construction projects to improve project outcomes and resource allocation.

“…While the research within PPP dynamics in socio-economic innovation has made strides, many unknowns remain. The intricacies of how different governance structures impact PPP efficiency and innovation, particularly in varying cultural and political contexts, require further exploration (Essig and Batran, 2005;Glas et al, 2018). Additionally, the role of grassroots initiatives in larger sustainability projects and how they can be effectively scaled and integrated with broader institutional frameworks still needs to be fully understood.…”

PurposeGiven the growing significance of contemporary socio-economic and infrastructural conversations of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), this research seeks to provide a general overview of the academic landscape concerning PPP.Design/methodology/approachTo offer a nuanced perspective, the study adopts the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) methodology to meticulously analyse 3,057 journal articles, mapping out the thematic contours within the PPP domain.FindingsThe analysis highlights PPP's pivotal role in harmonising public policy goals with private sector agility, notably in areas like disaster-ready sustainable infrastructure and addressing rapid urbanisation challenges. The emphasis within the literature on financial, risk, and performance aspects accentuates the complexities inherent in financing PPP and the critical need for practical evaluation tools. An emerging focus on healthcare within PPP indicates potential for more insightful research, especially amid ongoing global health crises.Originality/valueThis study pioneers the application of LDA for an all-encompassing examination of PPP-related academic works, presenting unique theoretical and practical insights into the diverse facets of PPP.

“…In particular, this research focuses on public institutions, because they act in several important roles related to sustainability. Glas et al (2018) [21] refers to the "policy maker and legislator", "leader and pioneer", as well as the "sensitive consumer". As such, public organizations, and their assessment of ES by LCC methods and information processing, seem to be a relevant unit of analysis.…”

Economic Sustainability by Using Life Cycle Cost Information in the Buying Center: Insights from the Public Sector

Following the triple-bottom-line approach, sustainability comprises not only an ecologic and a social dimension but also an economic one. In that sense, economic sustainability (ES) tries to achieve a state in which present economic activities do not place a disproportionate burden on future economic activities. The time-related dimension of ES is of interest for this research, because procurement management makes use of life cycle cost (LCC), which is an instrument to measure long-term economic effects. LCC information could help to consider ES, but practice struggles to consider the information. This research addresses this issue and merges organizational information processing with organizational buying behavior theory. Empirically, it reports original insights into eight cases in the public sector. Decisions in the cases are usually made by councils (buying centers); as such, a group of people with different backgrounds must be informed with ES LCC information. The findings show ES LCC information requirements, capabilities, and fit, as well as information distribution and perception in buying centers. As such, the cases provide indications as to which decisions in the project are influenced by ES LCC information. Overall, the analysis integrates two theoretical perspectives and provides strong indications that LCC is a promising instrument to link decision making with a sustainability rational.
