If the number of cases is too high is it then wise to apply types of co-operation which typically are brought
before the board? The building sector could be forced not to use these criteria to avoid ending up in The
Danish Board of Complaints on Tendering. Another solution would be to ensure that all the criteria used
are measurable and unambiguous. But, the rules of The European Unions (Fabricius, 2006) and The
Danish Tendering Law (Tendering Law, 2001) could also be examined; Are those rules clear enough, are
they too difficult to apply in practice? Furthermore, other criteria can be defined which give the same
result, but which are easy to make measurable and unambiguous.
4. Conclusions
When new laws come into force it takes times before all actors know the rules and know how to use them.
Therefore it takes times before someone complains. Also, when rules are new it can be difficult to use
them in the right way and do we know what the right way is before a number of court decisions have been
made? Sometimes lawyers disagree until some cases have been brought to court and some decisions have
been made. This is why we may expect some cases until the building sector is familiar with the use of new
rules.
The tendency in building projects in Denmark is going towards use of selection and assignment criteria as
personal skills; including good communication, right personal qualifications, right technical qualifications
etc. Those types of topics are however not easy to make measurable and unambiguous. When you look at
the Danish and the European rules, two solutions can be found to this problem. You can make sure that the
criteria are measurable and unambiguous which is difficult. The other solution could be to make new and
better rules in Denmark and in the European Union, to ensure that new types of criteria can be used. We
all know that it takes a long time to change rules in a country and probably even longer in the European
Union where a lot of countries are involved in decisions.
4.1 Key Performance Indicators
An immediate solution could be to use the mentioned types of criteria as indirect selection and assignment
criteria. In Denmark it is possible if the building sector’s key performance indicator from The Benchmark
Centre for the Danish Construction Sector was used instead ( Byggeriets Evaluerings Center 1, 2008). In
countries like China (Hong Kong) they already have a system like the Danish key performance indicator
system and other countries work in the direction of phasing-in a similar system (Siemiatycki, 2007).
