ABSTRACT
In
the public procurement system in Nigeria has over the years been abused leading
to cost inflation, delay in project delivery, poor quality of work, and project
abandonment. The aim of this study is to examine the impact of the due process
policy on construction projects delivery in Nigeria. Data were collected using
a structured questionnaire distributed to 52 random selections of constructing,
consulting and public organizations operating in Lagos Nigeria. Data were
analysed using descriptive statistics. The result shows that due process policy
has a very positive impact in Niger’s procurement terrain. Adherence to due
process proceedings had highest impact on cost savings, prequalification of
contractors and detailed project design, quality of project delivery, and
project duration. The study serve as a feedback to the construction
stakeholders in Nigeria and contains useable information for optimizing the
existing due process mechanism to enhance not only probity, accountability,
transparency and competition in public contract awards, but also the policy’s
resultant effects on quality of executed projects, delivery-on-budget and time
considerations.

INTRODUCTION
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE STUDY
Project success is basically to gain the research on
public procurement act in the execution project Shash(1993) explains that
a construction company can either
negotiate with the client or use a competitive tendering process to obtain a
contract. F.U. and Drew (2002) suggest that competitive tendering is the most
common method use for contractor selection.
In competitive tendering process, a client selects a
numbers of constructor to tender or not tender. The contractor need to submit
an estimated cost to execute the project at hand, if they intend to tender. The
client would select the contractor who submitted the best cost for executing
the project (Shash 1993, P. 111). Therefore the decision to tender is the first
step that contractors need to consider. The are various factors that need to be
considered by the contractor in order to make a decision to tender. The
decision is highly related to the specific project and macro environment. It is
hard to make a decision in a limited time by the management team. The decision
generally is made on the basic experience, intuition and guesses. (Egemen and
Mohamed 2007, therefore are many researchers that have discovered the factors
that affect the tender / no tender process unfortunately, there has not been
any similar research project global economic recession, construction related
activities are decreased significantly.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE STUDY
The
statement of the study are the research design and procurement effect of
tendering is a huge challenge in Act for most contractors who seek government
contracts in Nigeria. A study conducted by Obuji (2003) in some West African
countries, including Nigeria, revealed that some small scale contractor are not
favoured during a tendering process by prospective client because, they neglect
various factor that affect the success and failures of submitting a tender for
a contract. Some contractors do not structure and draft their tenders in an
appropriate manner, hence their chance of being contacted is reduced.
Construction industry has complexity in its nature because it contains large
number of parties as client contractor, consultants, stakeholders, shareholder,
regulators and others contraction project in Nigeria suffer from many problem
and complex issues in performance because of many reasons and factor. This
project is very important to identify and to evaluate the main factor
affecting, contractors tenders in construction project in Nigeria. The
practices concerning with tenders such as time, cost, project owner
satisfaction and safety checklists will be analyzed in order to know the main
practical problem of contractors who do not win tenders as well practical
solution. In help enhance of our indigenous contractors in Imo State in wining
federal government and foreign contract.
1.3 RESEARCH QUESTION
1 What are
the procurement effect project in Nigeria
2. What are the challenges Act affect Nigeria
when submition of project.
3. What are the factors that affect
contractors tender for construction project.
1.4 PURPOSE
OF THE STUDY
The aim of this research is to analyzed and assess
the local factors that account for the success or failure of tenders submitted
by contractors when applying for a construction project in Imo State. The aim
of this research can be broken down into the following objectives.
1. To assess the factor that affect
contractors tenders for construction project.
2. To identify the challenges faced by
contractors when applying for contracts in Nigeria.
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE
OF THE STUDY
This
research will help contactors become aware of what the factor which need to be
considered when they intend to submit tenders for different projects. This
research will also provide the information that could be used by any contractor
to create a competitive bidding strategy.
This
study will also give a dear insight into the various ways in which profit and
efficiency from contracts and contracting can be increased and how the
challenges facing contract tendering can be properly tackled. The study also
give a clear insight into the various factors affecting tenders and their
effects on contractor efficiency and chance of winning a contact in Nigeria.
The
findings and recommendations of the researcher will help in building a strong
and better contract policy and tendering guideline for contractors especially
small scale contractors in Imo State other construction companies in Nigeria.
1.6 SCOPE OF STUDY
This
research focuses mainly on the assessment of the factors that affect tender for
construction project, using construction companies and private contractors in
Imo State as case study. Results and recommendations may not be used to
generalize other construction companies or contractors in other parts of
Nigeria as the researcher could not cover a wider scoped due to financial and
time constraints. Based on the finding of this study other possible
researchable areas may include studies on the various effect of other aspects
of contracts such as contract laws in Nigeria and contract management and
control.
LIMITATION OF
THE STUDY
The only limitation faced by the researcher in the
course of carrying out this study was the delay in getting data from the
various respondents.
Most
respondents were reluctant in filling questionnaires administered to them due
to their busy schedules and nature of their work. The research found it
difficult to collect responses form the various respondent and this almost harmper3ed
the success of this study.

iv Construction
/ projects: In the fields of architecture and civil engineering
construction is a process that consists of the building or assembling of
infrastructure for from being a single activity. Large scale construction is a
feat of human multitasking. Normally the job is managed by a project manager
and supervised by a construction manager, design execution of a project, effective
planning is essential involved with the design and execution of the
infrastructure in question must consider the environmental impact of the job.
The successful scheduling, budgeting, constriction site safety, logistics,
inconvenience to the public caused by construction delays and building etc
