The importance of bidding documents, good bidding process and the selection of contractors are some of the important prerequisites for the successful completion of a project. The aim of the study was to identify factors in the bid process management that may lead to project success.

Twelve factors were shortlisted through this process and they were given importance ranking by experienced professionals. The mean value and the descriptive statistics were worked out to rank the factors. Top five factors in the bidding process, identified by using this process are specifications, special conditions of contract, overall and similar experience, award criteria and estimates.
