Research On Material Procurement Contract Management Of Turkey AY High Speed Railway Project

The development of global economic integration has promoted the prosperity of the international engineering market.The continuous expansion of international engineering market has provided a good opportunity for China to compete in the international engineering market.EPC,as a general engineering contracting management mode,is commonly adopted in international projects.About 50—70%of the total cost of an EPC project goes to the materials procurement cost.Material procurement contract management is a systematic project,covering a whole process from Invitation for Bids for Goods and Materials,Bid Evaluation,Negotiation and signing of Contract,Contract Execution,Claim,Settlement of Disputes until Final Termination of Contract.At present,studies of international EPC project management focus more on materials procurement management and project contract management,while less on materials procurement contract management.In this thesis,Ankara-Istanbul High-speed Railway Project in Turkey is chosen as the object of study to go into and discuss the contract management system of materials procurement,human resources management,contract risk control and supplier relationship management in an international EPC project.By studying the above-mentioned project,the author analyzes materials procurement contract management which runs through the overall process of an EPC project from procurement,construction,opening to operation,and explores how to effectively administrate materials procurement contracts of international projects when confronting an environment widely different from the native country in culture,politics,economy and nature,and under the circumstance of lacking versatile talents with combined knowledge of law,language and profession.The innovation of this study is reflected in the following three aspects:(1)the concept of comprehensive management of international engineering materials procurement contracts is put forward;(2)it is proposed to start with the control system and the organizational system of contract management to strengthen risk control of materials procurement contracts;(3)it is suggested to administer international engineering material supplier relationship based on the supply chain perspective.The contribution of this thesis is as follows:it makes studies of the comprehensive management of international engineering materials procurement contracts,human resources management,risk management and control as well as supplier management from a new point of view,and explores ways of effectively improving the efficiency and benefit of material procurement management.Such studies and exploration provides certain enlightenment and reference for Chinese constructional engineering enterprises to compete in international engineering marketplace and well administer engineering materials procurement contracts.
