Abstract

Rijkswaterstaat, part of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and EnvironmentI has used the best value PIPS philosophy to procure infrastructure projects worth circa $ 800M. This is a case study of the largest PIPS pilot project in the sixteen year development of the best value PIPS, and tests the robustness of the PIPS philosophy within the constraints of the European law. Eleven adaptations to the original methodology are outlined and discussed. The procurement results of six tenders are outlined.
