Contractor Selection: A Case Study of Public Sector of Pakistan

In most developed countries, the contractor procurement process is considered to be fraught with prejudice, which may contribute to incompetent contractors being chosen since it is focused solely on human experience and emotions. The failure of managers to be impartial in contractor selection has significant implications for the government and corporate organisations in terms of expense, delivery time, and effect on the general welfare of the people. As a result, managers must be involved in the contractor selection process. Developing a model to resolve the issue of inadequate contractor assessment would, without a doubt, be a huge help in the contractor selection process. A prototype framework for contractor assessment decision is described in this research. Analytical Hierarchy Method (AHP) from pair wise comparison in Expert Choice Software is used to measure the weighting of major and sub-criteria. Financial Stability (54 percent), Expertise & Past Success (31.6 percent), Equipment (4.2 percent), and Affiliations (4.2 percent) were the main factors considered in this report (10.2 percent).
