According to the Rådgivende Ingeniør Forening (RIF), there is a need for changes in project execution by way of early involvement of subcontractors and focus on their expertise. Nye Veier AS wants to be involved in making these changes and therefore have adopted the Best Value Procurement methodology. This contracting method is intended to ensure that projects are awarded to the best expert, that is most suitable to complete the project. The construction industry has long been criticized for inefficiency and for its high frequency of conflicts during the execution phase of projects. Traditionally, price has been the most important factor when selecting subcontractors. As a result, there has been a major focus on cutting costs as much as possible. Nye Veier, as a client has received positive feedback from subcontractors after they have implemented BVP as a procurement method. They wonder how the main contractors go about securing the best experts, and whether the main contractors apply the principles of BVP upstream in the supply chain. Thus, this master thesis will discuss the following issue: How do contractors seek experts in their own value chain without using the BVP methodology? Through the thesis, qualitative research method has been used by conducting several interviews of contractors in the value chain, and by collecting relevant theory. Results indicate that the contractors and subcontractors experience several challenges with adapting to a new contracting method.The contractors have expended resources on BVP education and have determined that the subcontractors are not advanced enough or adequately equipped for this methodology. This suggest that BVP is best suited between the client and the contractor.
