Abstract
The objective of this study was to study the factors affecting the procurement in construction projects of local administrative organizations. This quantitative research was conducted using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The results showed that the most important factor was Contract administration and material inspection with a weight of 60.20%, followed by the Procurement operation with a weight of 21.17%, Budget proposal preparation with a weight of 12.61%, and Procurement preparation with a weight of 6.02%. Based on the results, the recommendations for the Procurement in construction projects of local administrative organizations are as follows: The practitioners must have knowledge and understanding of procurement, survey, design, supervision, inspection, and defect inspection in the construction projects. They must perform their duties in a strict manner and with due care to ensure that the construction is carried out in accordance with the specified objectives. As for the appointment of supervisors and inspection committee, they are expected to have expertise in such construction works. In addition, the content of the construction contract, drawings and specifications should be read and understood before starting construction to ensure efficiency and effectiveness of the construction projects of the local administrative organizations in accordance with the project objectives.
