Research on project selection system of pre-evaluation of engineering design project bidding

It is a significant security to select proper engineering design project to participate in bidding to increase the rate of wining a bid. At the pre-evaluation phase of design project bidding, the survey and design enterprise must complete the selection decision in two steps, that is bid/no-bid and which project to bid. Based on the systemic thinking and stakeholder theory, this paper sets up the criteria system for bid/no-bid decision and the index system for which project to bid, and then constructs respectively the evaluation models with the logical valuation method and Grey Target method. Conclusion: the establishment of design projects' bidding selection systems should manage to realize the benefits equilibrium between stakeholders, considering the different interests requirement from different interests groups. It could simultaneously satisfy the two-step requirements at pre-evaluation phase assuring the decision to be not only scientific but also practical, so as to enhance the management level of design projects.
