Determinant Variables of Quality Tendering and Effect on Construction Project Time Scale and Successful Delivery

Abstract

The tendering procedure as well as the derived or selected tenders have high propensity to influence projects success or failures. Using simple classified as well as questionnaire method of data administration, the research collected data on the factors that affect the derivation of quality tenders and the effects which lack of quality tenders can have on timely and successful projects: Research findings established an array of factors which influence the quality of tenders. Variables such as errors in contract drawings, tough market competition unforeseen changes in materials prices during construction stages were identified and ranked as the first three. In a similar vein, abandonment of project, due to losses and late project delivery, loss of contractors’ profits was identified and ranked as the three most predominant effects amongst others. The research concludes that the derivation of quality tenders have effect on timely project delivery. The research recommends that the tendering processes and procedures should be scrutinized, consciously avoiding “Lowest bid Criteria” as the sole basis for arriving at tenders and subsequently for the award of contracts.
