Abstract

With the announcement to tender a project, several strategic decisions are made that have significant impact on the innovation and efficiency potential of a project. The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare how different types of integrative and collaborative procurement strategies may enhance the opportunities for improved efficiency and innovation in infrastructure projects. Hence, it contributes to the scientific debate on buyer-supplier relationships in relation to project performance. Furthermore, it guides public client organisations in steering explicitly for integration and innovation in their projects. Interview-based case studies of ten public infrastructure projects procured based on four different types of collaborative procurement strategies in Sweden and the Netherlands were conducted. The findings indicate that the duration of the collaboration is fundamental in setting the limits for innovation and that early involvement and long-term commitments in maintenance open up opportunities for more innovation. Naturally, the potential for increased efficiency is higher than for innovation and also occurs in collaborations with limited duration. The findings confirm the importance of a learning perspective on procurement strategies for public client organisations and show the importance of explicit considerations on incentives and project governance issues in the front-end phase of a project.
基础设施项目协同采购策略:多案例研究
随着项目招标的宣布,一些战略决策将对项目的创新和效率潜力产生重大影响。本研究的目的是调查和比较不同类型的综合和协作采购策略如何增加提高基础设施项目效率和创新的机会。因此,它有助于对与项目绩效有关的买方-供应商关系的科学辩论。此外,它还指导公共客户组织明确地指导其项目中的集成和创新。对瑞典和荷兰基于四种不同类型的协作采购战略采购的十个公共基础设施项目进行了基于访谈的案例研究。研究结果表明,合作的持续时间是限制创新的基础,早期的参与和长期的维护承诺为更多的创新提供了机会。当然,提高效率的潜力比创新的潜力更大,而且也发生在持续时间有限的合作中。研究结果证实了学习采购策略对公共客户组织的重要性,并显示了在项目前端阶段明确考虑激励和项目治理问题的重要性。
