E-tendering implementation best practice

E- techying murder surpass formulaChapter 1 Introduction1.0 Research titleE-Tendering Implementation silk hat practice1.1 AbstractE-Tendering is a web attendering service offered on a pay-per-tender basis where entirelyows clients and their consultants to run tenders through a secure website. But not entirely the countries involved are fully implemented e-Tendering. They are only implementing e-Tendering at certain stages. This research is carried out to see the best practice in the implementation of e-Tendering worldwide. The anticipated findings are each countries involved are not fully implemented e-Tendering because of certain problems and constraint. The bench hold back was developing for the best practice of e-tendering. This research ordain narrate for authorities and construction persistence itself where it stands in terms of e-Tendering implementation compared to its peer countries.IntroductionConstruction industry all over the world cook demonstrated the need t o improve the service delivery and being able to handle issues swiftly and satisfactorily. The advent of Internet Technology has made it possible for countenance of construction industry to transform themselves by offering traditional services especially tendering turn through online. Tendering is considered to be one of the fairest means of awarding government contracts and the method just close to likely to secure a favourable outcome for a government in its spending of public money. The basic principles of the tendering process conjoin been applied to many business areas, such as purchasing goods seeking service providers, business consulting, or the selection of main contractors for construction work. With the expand and dispel of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in world and this country, government of Malaysia under Public Works Department (JKR) collaborate with Construction Industry Development venire (CIDB) to implement the National E-Tendering Initiat ives (NeTI) program. E-tendering program will provide all tendering process through online. At this stage, JKR and CIDB implement e-tendering for government construction project only.According to royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, e-Tendering is a Web tendering service offered on a pay-per-tender basis. E-Tendering allows clients and their consultants (buyers) to run tenders through a secure website. It offers a simple, secure, standard, efficient and cost telling way to manage tenders online. It provides a major opportunity to replace existing paper based procedures and achieve significant cost savings, while producing a more efficient and reliable process. Use of the system is charged on a per tender basis to buyers, there are no subscription fees. Use of the system is rationalise to contractors (suppliers). This reason bring to government of Malaysia and countries over the world to use and implement e-tendering, which offer a simple, secure, standard, efficient and cost effective and also can evacuate corruption. That means contractors all over the country can register and get tender through online and do not have to use the traditional tender process which is paper-based, more costly and sometimes bias tender awarded.Problem statementMost of the developed and develop countries have their own channels to notify the notification of tenders through the Internet, which are displayed in their official websites. However, implementation of electronic tendering is not complete in the reality world because of certain barriers and problems.In Malaysia, the tendering process is still based on manual activities even though they have National E-Tendering Initiatives (NeTI) program, which website program that conduct tender process through internet. In the reliable situation, government of Malaysia only advertises their tender through online. When looking entire the world, same situation of e-tendering implementation happens. Many countries like India and Si ngapore conduct and organize tender process through online in the half way. Different countries have their different nature of technology and construction industry. In UK, e-tendering is already implemented in the most efficient manner. Player of construction industry in UK, especially contractor, they have enough technology and equipment to adopt e-tendering.Now the question is what is the best practice to adopt e-tendering in present time? Benchmarking best practice need to develop to give some guideline to the develop countries what is the best way to implement e-tendering. tec actualise that most of people are tend to do benchmarking in IT and supply management but lack of study in benchmarking the best practice of e-Tendering. So the gap of knowledge must be filled and explore to produce the new findings that might be give benefits to people and construction industry itself. For above statement, this research has explored the best practice of e-Tendering implementation in few countries. This research has identified e-Tendering processes involved and compares it with each country selected. By the end of this research, the best practice of e-Tendering implementation is recommended for the benchmark.AimsThis research is carried out to study the best practice in the implementation of e-Tendering worldwide.ObjectivesTo identify the countries in the world who have implemented e-TenderingTo study compare the best practice of e-Tendering implementation as identified above.To recommend the best practice of e-Tendering implementation.Research questionsWhat countries that already implemented e-Tendering in their construction industry?What are the processes of e-Tendering?Are they fully implemented e-Tendering in their construction industry?What is the best practice of e-Tendering for their construction industry currently?Research methodology belles-lettres reviewIn order to provide good background information of the study area, literature review is very important. Literatures reading were carried out to collect all information and studied to get better understanding about e-Tendering implementation in Malaysia and others countries worldwide. All the sources are collected from internet, journals, books, past master thesis and discourse related to this topic.Desk studyAll the sources are analyse and make adaptation. From literature study, data were collected and distinguish what are the needs in this research. Quantitative interpretation is the main method to carry out this research which based on data and more relevant with the current issues.Significance of researchThis research is about best practice of e-Tendering implementation worldwide was done for the following major reasonsThe Malaysia government needs to know where it stands in terms of e-Tendering implementation compared to its peer countries to mark its current progress of milestone achievement.Malaysia construction industry needs to know with their current status e-Tendering imp lementation compare to others countries.Benchmark for e-tendering is very important to recognize the best practice of e-tendering implementation worldwide.To discuss the current status e-Tendering worldwide.Overview of contentChapter 1 IntroductionChapter 2 An overview on conventional tenderingChapter 3 New interlingual rendition of tendering system- Electronic TenderingChapter 4 MethodologyChapter 5 Case study discussionChapter 6 Recommendation conclusion
