DEVELOPMENT OF A RESEARCH PROGRAM ON BEST VALUE PROCUREMENT IN THE NETHERLANDS

Authors: Sicco Santema

Best Value Procurement (BVP) has been introduced in the Netherlands in 2005. The Ministry of Infrastructure was the first large scale user of this procurement method, showing that it fits European tender laws. The Ministry of Infrastructure used the method for the procurement of € 600 mln roadworks in the so called Fast Track Projects. Since then primarily the public procurement community showed interest in BVP. The method BVP consist of five filters: Project capability, Risk assessment plan, Value Added plan, Interviewing key personnel and Contracting (clarification). Six cases show that the method increases the dominance in the supply market. There are many professionals active in the Netherlands and there have been some 600 tenders using the Best Value Procurement method. This exploratory research into 10 years of Best Value Procurement in The Netherlands shows the possibilities for further academic research.
