“…Traditional MRO contracts are contracted under a MRO service level agreement where the cost of spares could be excluded, or where spares are included in the price (Van Weele 2002). The contractor could also provide a cost-plus contract provide detailed costs structures (inclusive of a schedule of cost of spares) to the customer to determine reimbursement with a profit percentage that has been predetermined (Kim et al 2007).…”

“…The classic study by Mintzberg et al (1976) also contains several cases of supplier selection and most of these clearly show a similar, “multi stage” structure. In a more recent publication, Van Weele (2010) also presents a typical multi stage structure of the supplier selection process, in which the number of the suppliers considered is narrowed down at each stage.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present three heuristics for choosing supplier selection criteria. By considering the balance between the expected relative effort and benefit of using different selection criteria, the heuristics suggest which criteria should be prioritized. The heuristics serve to develop our understanding of the search and evaluation heuristics used in supplier selection and to facilitate further research. Design/methodology/approach The research is primarily theoretical, yet draws on empirical studies of supplier selection. The theoretical basis is Simon’s notion of procedural rationality (Simon, 1976). The author makes the general notion of procedural rationality more concrete for supplier selection by formally describing three heuristics for choosing selection criteria. The heuristics share the same logic but differ in terms of the precision of the input information required from the purchaser. The paper provides illustrations of the heuristics. Findings It appears that procedural rationality can be specified for the process of designing the supplier selection process by explicitly recognizing the cost and value of selection criteria. There is no one way of doing this, but at the most basic level, it requires an ordinal ranking of criteria. Already such a rudimentary, qualitative, assessment can help identifying suitable criteria. The heuristics developed appear compatible with established approaches for the subsequent selection of suppliers. Originality/value The paper addresses the early stage of supplier selection which has been largely ignored in the literature.

“…Procurement performance can be measured in terms of efficiency and effectiveness as purchasing efficiency and purchasing effectiveness represent different competencies and capabilities for the purchasing function (Kakwezi and Nyeko, 2019). Van Weele (2006) suggested that purchasing performance is considered to be the result of purchasing effectiveness and purchasing efficiency. Therefore, effectiveness in the public procurement function relates to the performance of the function.…”

Purpose The significance of the public procurement function is on the survival and development of procuring entities and that of a nation at large. This study aims to focus on examining the influence of procurement planning on the effectiveness of public procurement, experience from selected public procuring entities in Dodoma city, Tanzania. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional design was adopted from which data were collected from 146 respondents who were purposively chosen from several public procuring entities located at Dodoma city in the United Republic of Tanzania by using a survey structured questionnaire and analysed through a binary logistic regression model. Findings Findings revealed that procurement planning as a strategic function significantly influences the effectiveness of public procurement. The binary logistic regression model included the implementation of prepared procurement plans (p = 0.039), the involvement of users as stakeholders and important institutional actors in public procurement (p = 0.033), compliance to procurement laws and regulations when planning (p = 0.016) and adequacy of budget (p = 0.042) as predictors of procurement planning were tested to be significantly related to the effectiveness of public procurement. It was concluded that public procuring entities can achieve public procurement effectiveness through procurement planning. Social implications The implications and policy recommendations of the findings of this study would be useful to procurement practitioners mostly in public procuring entities. Originality/value This study contributes to adding knowledge to the existing body of knowledge on procurement planning as an imperative activity in public procurement in Tanzania.
