Procurement constitutes a major activity of development projects and occupies a considerable portion of the project budget. In fact, almost about three fourth of the development budget is spent on procurement and this is even higher in case of construction projects. Hence, success of development activities relies on effective procurement management to a large extent. Meanwhile, most of the big construction projects in developing countries like Nepal are carried out under the assistance of donors and they are much more concerned about the economy and efficiency in projects.
