الملخص الإنجليزي

Construction process is heavily dependent on the effectively exchange of large and complex data.

Information Technology (IT), offer solutions to the exchange of data, and assure almost instant collaboration between parties involve in construction process.

Internet is one of these solutions that enable Integration in informational and contractual processes in construction industry.

IT solutions and applications penetrated (almost) all the fields of construction industry.

Tendering in the public sector is an important stage of any construction project.

This thesis is the first attempt in Palestine that introduces the basics for electronic integration and management of major tendering activities.

Electronic management of tendering activities (e-tendering system), can find solutions to the fragmentation of data regarding construction business in Gaza.

It will reduce the time and efforts to complete tendering operations ; minimize expenses of paper works ; improve transparency; and increase competition.

In order to develop the proposed system, the thesis studied the legal framework and the institutional arrangements that regulate the public tendering business in Gaza, some weaknesses were noticed in this area and recommendations were suggested to improve these issues and to create suitable legal and institutional environment to implement the anticipated system.

A model for the World Bank (WB) procurement procedures was developed too, as a method of capturing the details of all activities related to the traditional procurement process, in this regard more than 120 procurement activities were analyzed in terms of its relation with each other and with the surrounding environment, Integrated Definition (IDEF0) method of modeling was chosen to model the WB procurement guidelines.

The model identifies four potential areas to be automated namely : Project announcement, pre-qualification, distribution of bidding documents, and receiving of proposals In addition to that a survey was conducted among the construction stockholders in Gaza to identify their capabilities to implement such system, their requirements from the proposed system and their readiness to accept such system.

Based on the above-mentioned facts the anticipated conceptual model was built with the objective of future development of central web based tendering system for public works in Gaza.

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) was selected as an approach to structure the proposed conceptual model.
