“…The above evidence strengthens the argument that the move to use alternative procurement systems is not a guarantee that the deficiencies of the traditional system will be overcome (Cho et al, 2010). Interestingly, dispute was proven to be a major problem in both systems.…”

“…Disputes under D&C received the highest agreement (mean = 3.96) because f the uncertainty of drawing, which yields numerous problems in project management, as proposed by Cho et al (2010). However, in traditional systems, Tien and Jason (2006) found that variations also cause disputes among various parties, thus resulting in cost uncertainty with changes in design and scope.…”

“…Even Davis et al (2009) argue that the system is beginning to change because of the evolution of new and hybrid procurement systems. Malaysia has also begun using new and hybrid procurement methods, as highlighted by Cho et al (2010). The push for the adaptation of new procurement methods is justified by the need for higher client satisfaction (Mbachu and Nkado, 2006) and improved cycle-time performance (Gibson et al, 2007).…”

“…Hale et al (2009) and Migliaccio et al (2012), along with players from the industry, claim that the D&C system saves time and is suitable for complex projects. However, the fast-track approaches are not without problems (Cho et al, 2010).…”

“…The first part of the introduction noted that numerous projects suffer from additional time and costs in Malaysia. A fast-track system, as highlighted by Cho et al (2010), needs to be managed by a capable team. While traditional methods have been tied-up with a sequential process, a fast-track system is closely associated with a lengthened process of project delivery.…”

Since the declaration of Malaysian independence, the public sector has significantly contributed to the country's development. In the 1990s, a new procurement system was developed due to CIBD various changes in the construction industry. Since that period, the poor quality of public sector projects has started to attract public attention. This paper describes a study that was conducted to identify the dominant public procurement systems in place, the problems associated with these systems, and the satisfaction level of the industry players in the Malaysian construction industry. The results were drawn from 84 survey responses and interviews with industry players. The public sector is using a traditional system inherited from the British, with an intention to adopt new procurement systems. Aside from the disputes that are present in most systems, the public sector seems to encounter particular problems in relation to capabilities, time, and cost of the major procurement systems used. Traditional work culture and the industry environment influence public sector practice, which accounts for the modifications of each procurement system used. Thus, the full advantages of using an alternative procurement system may not be realised in public sector organizations. This produces an average level of satisfaction gained from the procurement system adopted. As a developing country, Malaysia needs to exert significant efforts to improve the public procurement system.
