Abstract
This thesis takes premise that tender
management and bid evaluation are solid foundations
to proper project execution. The study therefore
sets to look into how tender management and bid
evaluation process will assist in successful
project execution.
In order to achieve this aim the present
systems of tender management and bid evaluation
were investigated. Two organisations were
investigated with a view to finding out how tenders
are managed and bids evaluated. Questionnaires were
distributed to contractors registered with Niger
State and Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
This study has revealed that Tenders Boards where
only a few professionals are represented run the
risk of over relying on the technical opinion of
the consultants. Furthermore, much of the tasks of
the board are delegated to ill-equiped personnel who
do not appreciate the implications of their decisions
with respect to construction matters. The degree of
information flow at tender stages was also found to
be inadequate.
Therefore, to improve the efficiency of tender
management and bid evaluation it has been suggested
that the composition of Tenders Boards be made up of
a good number of professionals in the building industry.
Also a new method of bid evaluation employing the
use of contractors average, which hopefully will
overcome some of the shortcomings of the present
system, has been proposed.
