Abstract:

This paper employs the decision support system, such as the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP)

methodology to model contractor selection problem in a government procurement supply chain. The

proposed methodology used a set of criteria for the selection and evaluation of the best contractor. A case

study of a government Ministry in Ghana is used to illustrate contractor selection problem. The AHP

model is used because it allows different types of contractor capabilities to be examined. The result

findings indicate that contractors’ experience is the most important followed by manpower resources,

financial stability, and relevant equipment for contractors’ selection in Ghana.
