“…The research followed a semi-structured interview method for the interviewees to stay concentrated and focused on VM activities [71]. The confirmation and checking procedures were undertaken between iterative interviews and data analysis [72]. This combined process is like the participation checks and validation as noted and adopted in the previous studies [71].…”

Value management (VM) has become a useful tool for achieving sustainability in many countries. This paper aims to assess VM implementation and its activities towards achieving sustainable building projects in Egypt. Data were obtained from the literature, followed by a qualitative approach through a semi-structured interview and a quantitative approach via a questionnaire survey. In Cairo and Giza, data were collected from a sample of 200 building professionals using a questionnaire, while exploration of the country’s VM activities practice was completed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), including descriptive statistics such as “frequency analysis” and ”measures of central tendencies”. The results show that VM awareness was demonstrated by 64% of the sample, which means that they know about VM. On the other hand, most respondents, 85.3%, did not adopt VM and did not receive any VM training. The results also show, through EFA, that the correlations between these activities show five main components: an information phase, a function phase, a creativity phase, an evaluation phase, and a development/presentation phase. This study will help building professionals to eliminate unwanted costs and enhance project sustainability by adopting VM in building projects in developing countries. Finally, the results of this study will enhance building management through the implementation of VM elements, with a view to ensuring value for money and meeting sustainability goals.

“…To establish whether they were any agreement and consistency of responses around the 30 bid or no-bid factors, the Kendall's concordance analysis at a pre-defined test value of p = 0.05 was undertaken (Kavishe and Chileshe, 2018;Oyeyipo et al, 2016). The W value (otherwise known as the coefficient of concordance) obtained for the bid or no-bid factors was 0.204, with significance values of 0.000.…”

“…The W value (otherwise known as the coefficient of concordance) obtained for the bid or no-bid factors was 0.204, with significance values of 0.000. As suggested by Kavishe and Chileshe, 2018), the Chi-square (x 2) was used for the bid or no-bid factors vis-à-vis the computed W values because of the number of attributes (i.e. bid/no-bid factors) exceeding seven.…”

“…The different Classes of firm reflect their innate tendering capacities. Other challenges facing Tanzanian indigenous contractors as well as other SMMEs include: insufficient financial management knowledge and capital availability; inadequate skills (Kikwasi, 2011;Kikwasi and Escalante, 2018); and scant procurement skills (Kavishe and Chileshe, 2018).…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate and ranks the critical factors influencing the bid or no-bid decision and their importance for the indigenous small building contractors within the Tanzanian construction industry. Design/methodology/approach An interpretivist epistemological design was adopted to extensively manually review and search extant literature on bid or no-bid decision-making criteria. A total of 30 most common bid or no-bid decision-making criteria were identified. These were included in a questionnaire survey data collection instrument. The survey was distributed to 40 small indigenous (local) building contractors in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. In total, 33 responses were received. Response data was subjected to both descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings The results show a disparity of ranking of the 30 bid/no-bid criteria factors among the two grades of small contractors, with 11 factors having statistically significant differences (p = < 0.05). Based on the overall sample, the most highly ranked seven factors in ascending order were: availability of capital; financial capacity of the client; project size; profitability; project type; need of work; and current workload. The following were the least ranked: tax liability; the degree of safety; availability of other projects; availability of labor; bidding document price; and uncertainty because of weather conditions. Availability of capital and financial capacity of the client were jointly ranked as the most important by Class VI contractors. In comparison, availability of capital and need of study were rated highly for Class VII contractors. Research limitations/implications The sample consisted of indigenous small building contractors in one industry operating in Tanzania only and did not include the perceptions of the foreign contractors based in Dar es Salaam. Future studies are required to expand the current research and investigate this specific aspect further. Practical implications The identified “bid/no-bid criteria” information will allow indigenous small building contractors to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of their bidding decision-making process. Emergent findings will enable said contractors to: better fit into the competitive construction business environment; increase their awareness of existing decision-making practices; and develop appropriate strategies for evaluation of opportunities encountered. Cumulatively, these findings benefit small indigenous building contractors by increasing their understanding of the factors influencing bid decision. Originality/value The study represents the first empirical study in Tanzania on the critical factors influencing the bid or no-bid decision among the indigenous small building contractors, which face fierce competition from foreign contractors.

“…In the past decades, a lot of research has been conducted in on critical success factors (CSFs) for PPP in different infrastructure sectors such as transport (Villalba-Romero and Liyanage, 2016;Laishram and Kalidindi, 2009), water supply (Shrestha et al, 2017;Wu et al, 2016), public housing (Ahmed and Sipan, 2019;Abdul-Aziz and Jahn Kassim, 2011;Kavishe and Chileshe, 2018;Liu and Wang, 2018), health care (Ferreira and Marques, 2020;Comendeiro-Maaløe et al, 2019) and waste-to-energy incineration projects (Wu et al, 2018;Wan et al, 2015;Song et al, 2013). However, for retirement village projects, very little research has been conducted on the successful application of the PPP concept.…”

Purpose The growth in ageing population globally has led to the increase in demand for retirement or aged care homes. Adopting public–private partnership (PPP) in the global retirement village market has become the new approach to address some of the emerging challenges. This paper aims to explore and analyse the critical success factors (CSFs) for the adoption of PPP in the global retirement village market. Design/methodology/approach An empirical questionnaire survey was conducted with experienced practitioners in the global PPP and retirement village markets. Mean score analysis, normalization range method, Kendall’s coefficient of concordance and factor analysis were used for analysis. Findings Results show that out of the 27 CSFs identified, the most significant ones in developing PPP retirement village projects are “the age-friendly design of villages”, “appropriate location of PPP retirement village”, “reliable and accessible health and physical facilities” and “effective social inclusion and integration in villages”. Further analysis shows that the 27 CSFs can be grouped into 7 major factor groupings, namely, “effective project monitoring”, “financial support”, “social integration”, “effective contractual arrangement between parties”, “government commitment and support”, “sustainable design of village” and “effective payment structure”. Originality/value The outputs of this study will adequately inform retirement village developers, retirement village stakeholders and local government authorities of the best practices they should put in place to ensure the sustainable growth of the global retirement village market.
