The Lowest Tender (LT) procurement method is widely used in public construction procurement, including highway and road projects. However, this method often leads to cost overruns, delays, and disputes. Previous researchers have proposed innovative methods such as the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT, or BV) and Total Combined Bid (TCB, such as‘A+B’) to address these issues. However, the BV method relies on the subjective opinions of the Procurement Evaluation Committee (PEC), resulting in a lengthy procurement process and subjective decision-making. The A+B method only considers the value of time and ignores other performance factors of construction firms. To address these drawbacks, this study proposes an innovative‘A+Q’procurement method that considers both bid cost and comprehensive performance cost as dual parameters. The A+Q method calculates the comprehensive performance value based on the contractor’s historical performance scores, converted into cost elasticity of performance, providing an objective index for estimating performance cost. The road projects issued by the Construction and Planning Agency serve as an example, showcasing how incorporating past performance (quality) into the bidding process can ensure superior road construction quality without compromising cost-effectiveness. Through a case study, the feasibility and benefits of the proposed A+Q method are highlighted compared to the traditional LT approach. The study concludes that the proposed A+Q model not only retains the advantages of simplicity and speed from the lowest bid method but also offers the advantages of the MAT method in terms of improving performance as expected by the owner. By considering the contractor’s historical performance, the A+Q model encourages them to enhance project quality and other performance factors. |
