| Abstract [eng] |
Public procurement of construction sector accounts for about 50 % of the value of all public procurement (excluding low-value procurement). The projects of this sector are usually long-term, therefore it is important to find tools that would help to perform works with quality. Application of quality criteria - a tool for contracting authorities to obtain the most economically beneficial offer. Since the application of quality criteria has not only advantages, but also emerging risks and disadvantages, in order to find out what can influence the decision made by the contracting authorities to use quality criteria in the public procurement of the construction sector, a survey was conducted. Structural equation modeling analysis was performed on the obtained data. Results show, that doubts that procedures where quality criteria are applied will be successful, leads to the fact that these criteria should not be used. The application of the mentioned criteria is also reduced by insufficient knowledge of the public procurement system (laws, legal acts related to construction) and greater competition in the mentioned sector, which can be decisive for greater participation in procurement, but also complicates the evaluation process. In addition, the results show that the greater experience in application of quality criteria and lack of knowledge of the procurement system, leads to the fact that the contracting authorities believes that the application of such criteria is difficult. The more complex the appearance, the more it is accepted that the procedures will end unsuccessfully by applying quality criteria. |
