Evaluating transportation service providers is an applied and multi-criteria decision-making problem. To ensure supply chain sustainability, it is important to consider all sustainable criteria for assessing and evaluating transport service providers. This paper aims to develop a new decision-making framework to evaluate transport service providers considering sustainable criteria from economic, environmental, social and operational aspects. The decision-making framework integrates both qualitative expert opinion and quantitative best-worst method (BWM) and VIsekriterijumska optimizacija i KOmpromisno Resenje (VIKOR) method. The developed framework contributes to the academic literature by expanding the knowledge in supply chain sustainability by considering all possible sustainable criteria and integrating both qualitative and quantitative methods for evaluating transport service providers. This study also contributes to practice by developing a decision support tool, by which decision-makers can make an accurate, systematic and prompt decision to identify and assess sustainable criteria and to evaluate the priority of different transport service providers.
