| dc.description.abstract | Public construction project plays a crucial role in the socio-economic development of Ethiopia, however, the performance of the projects faces significant challenges. Technologies have great potential to enhance the performance of construction projects by addressing the challenges. Public procurnment is a tool for public clients to fulfill their needs, and it plays a crucial role in implementing technologies in public client construction projects. This study aimed to investigate how requirements in public procurement can promote the implementation of technologies in Ethiopian public client projects. Additionally, it sought to identify the main barriers and opportunities to a successful implementation of these technologies by establishing them as requirements in the procurement process. Through a literature study and semi structured interviews with relevant stakeholders in the construction industry, the knowledge and experience on the subject have been compared and analyzed. The study shows that the existing Ethiopian public procurement directive and other recognized legal documents do not specifically mention the implementation of technologies in public construction projects. Lack of suitable procurnment policy, lack of knowledge and experienced stakeholders with technologies, lack of availability of technologies in the market, and lack of standards, specifications, and guidelines are the major barriers to implementing technologies in public construction projects by establishing them as requirements in the procurement processes. Clearly including technologies or new ideas in the public procurement directives or other legal documents, either as optional or mandatory requirements is the first step to implementing technologies in the public client construction project, and it facilitates their implementation. Furthermore, to address the challenges and successfully implement technologies, the government must Build suitable frameworks to enhance the collaboration among stakeholders and leverage the stakeholders' potential. | |
