The purpose of this paper is to increase the understanding of how chosen procurement
procedures affect project performance. The paper aims to develop a testable
procurement model that proposes certain relationships between specific procurement
procedures (treated as success factors) and project results (treated as success criteria).
The conceptual model will be based on a systemic and holistic approach. It will
include a wide range of procurement related success factors, from the design stage to
performance evaluation, and a wide range of success criteria. This will make it
possible to analyse if and how different factors and criteria interact and affect each
other. The method involves a comprehensive literature review of procurement related
success factors and success criteria reflecting construction project performance.
