Abstract

In this paper we consider what is the current practice when a purchaser has to decide on the number of bids he wants to receive in a tender procedure. Furthermore we look to what extent a formal model, the so-called ETQ-model, together with a DSS can be useful in facilitating and improving that decision. The validity of the model assumptions is analyzed with empirical evidence from over thirty cases. Furthermore, a few interviews were conducted with tactical purchasers to gain insight into the practical applicability of the model and the DSS and identify specific directions for further improvement.
