A Decision-Making Model for Supplier Selection in Public Procurement

Jianjun YU, Xiaofei CAI

Abstract


Public procurement is a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem that meets lexicographic preference to some extent. In this paper, a two-layer method that meets lexicographic preference selection was proposed to address the government procurement decision-making problem of multi experts in the fuzzy environment. The decision-making process of this model is divided into two steps. Firstly, attributes of multiple experts were collected according to their rights of speech, getting the comprehensive attribute preference order. Secondly, the program meeting lexicographic preference was decided based on the comprehensive attributes. Finally, the proposed model was applied to the firefighting cushion bidding case of Fire Station of A public security department. Results demonstrated that the proposed model is applicable to public procurement decision-making and can provide effective references to decision-making on government procurement.
