A framework for tendering based on EMAT approach to support sustainable urban construction logistics
conference paper
Construction is required to create attractive, sustainable and economically viable cities. Inner city developments are a common feature within many urban areas. When activities at and around construction sites are not managed effectively, they can negatively impact the surrounding areas. A large share of the freight traffic in cities is related to construction. Evaluation of recent urban construction projects introducing logistics concepts by construction companies shows that implementing alternative city logistics concepts can significantly reduce total logistic costs, urban congestion and improve productivity. The ‘ground rules’ for smarter and cleaner construction logistics in urban areas are set during the tendering process. This research has developed a framework for ‘logistics quality’ to be used as a quality criterion for EMAT (Economically Most Advantageous Tender) procedures to support tendering construction projects by both public and private clients.
