“…Considering the recent years, on the use of multi-criteria decision-making and similar methods for subcontractor selection, Acar [37] have proposed a model for the selection of subcontractors with the analytic network process. Diabagate et al [21] presented a method of determining the best bid for a tender by analytic hierarchy method. Oladapo and Odeyinka [22] compared multi-criteria decision-making methods with multi-attribute analysis and analytic hierarchy process methods in subcontractor or contractor selection and found that these two methods show little difference.…”

“…It can be determined by a questionnaire prepared by the company managers, which demonstrates all of the technical personnel participants' views about the reputation of the subcontractor firm. Management = f (experience year of management team) (21) For the case study, this value is the average score of the questionnaire result which examined the reputation of the candidate firms by views of the technical stuff of the contractor company with scores ranked from 1 to 4 (1 indicates the lowest and 4 indicates the highest reputation).…”

During the last decades, especially in large-scale construction projects, it is one of the widely applied strategies that the main contractors work with many subcontractors and overtake a large part of the works. This trend brings out the problem of selection of subcontractors. The classical approaches in the construction industry to select the subcontractor are the general practice reference, the lowest bid, and the familiarity. This creates major risks for contractors since the construction sector involves time-limited projects with a large variety of complex works. Putting the subcontractor selection on a scientific basis and minimizing the risks by choosing the most appropriate subcontractor among the bidders for a particular type of work, require for the construction industry to determine not only consistent and efficient but also uncomplicated and plain model. Instead of the widespread conventional application, this study represents a new alternative approach to the subcontractor selection with Additive Ratio Assessment Method, which is one of the multi-criteria decision-making techniques. Additive Ratio Assessment Method is quite practical and convenient to use among the other multi-criteria decision-making methods. This study aimed to demonstrate the use of Additive Ratio Assessment Method on subcontractor selection problems by exemplifying a real case application.

“…Sciancalepore et al (2011) presented a classification of multicriteria methods showing their strengths and weaknesses. Some applications of multicriteria methods, in particular, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), on public procurement have been proposed in the literature: Diabagaté et al (2015) applied the AHP to select the best tender during the awarding of contracts for an IT master plan's realisation; Puri and Tiwari (2015) for a contractor selection decision Wang et al (2013), to weight decision criteria.…”

Purpose This paper aims to show how the proposed approach (two analytic hierarchy process [AHP] models) may allow dealing with the best tender selection process in an organic and simple way and ensure the consistency check of the judgements, the necessary step for having reliable results. At first, this paper highlights some critical issues regarding the weighted sum model (WSM) and the algorithms frequently used to evaluate the most economic advantageous tender. Then, it proposes to extend the AHP approach to the evaluation of both the qualitative and quantitative components of a public procurement award. Finally, the WSM and the AHP are applied to the same case study to show, step by step, some criticisms of the former and some advantages of the latter. Design/methodology/approach This paper proposes to apply two AHP models to evaluate both qualitative and quantitative components of a public tender. The quality and cost models allow to identify and select the tender associated with the highest quality/cost ratio. Findings The assessment of the WSM and the AHP models, and some differences between them, build upon their application as an example of public procurement. A case study is used as a teaching device (Yin, 2003) to highlight why the AHP may provide different results. In particular, an important issue concerning the evaluation of qualitative requirements is explored: the consistency of judgements expressed by the committee members. Social implications This approach provides analytical tools for public management that allow appropriate implementation of their management function and allow a realisation of the strategic objectives of European Union law and Italian legislation on public procurement. It would help managers to prioritise their goals and criteria and evaluate them in a scientific way. The model integrates multiple qualitative and quantitative criteria, simplifies the selection process, achieves optimal use of funds and leads to cost savings. It allows to reduce the discretional power of both the contracting issuer, in the choice of the formula to adopt for calculating the coefficients, and the committee members, allowing tender evaluation to have more trust and ensure the fairness of public procurement matters and quality of the object purchased. Originality/value This paper proposes the use of two hierarchical models to evaluate qualitative and quantitative requirements and provide the ranking among several tenders.
