The study analysed a significant sample of public works carried out in Italy (school buildings) each realized through three different types of tender processes: design competition; most economically advantageous tender; integrated contract. The research compared their relative efficiency in terms of:
- Total time required to complete a public work (including a breakdown of time across phases: design, put up for tender, construction, testing);
- Cost variations between the budgeted amount and final expenditureFinal quality of the completed building.
- The findings highlighted notable differences among different tender types.
