If the selection in under careful plan, it will provide an overall improvement on the quality of general construction, assets and labor affair of the official agency. Method on choosing the Lowest Tender as winning bidder has often lead to the competition in bidding companies in offering the lowest possible price and result in poor quality, construction procrastination, management difficulty and sometimes inability to conclude the project due to failure in final inspection; method using the Most Advantageous Tender will lead to doubts to the fairness of the evaluation committee and unreasonable bid price offered by the bidding company which could result in the waste of public treasury and lack of visible improvements on the quality of the awarded case. The Public Construction Commission will establish a new awarding by means of Lowest Tender in Heterogeneous Procurement in May 2006. For bidding party with lower heterogeneity, evaluation on the Most Advantageous Tender will first take place to select qualified companies before awarding the bid to the Lowest Tender to raise procurement efficiency. This research will mainly use document analysis to probe into relative documents and theories for research discussion. In addition, due to the researcher’s current post under the Water Resources Agency and knowledge in Heterogeneous Lowest Tender affairs, agency under the jurisdiction of Water Resource Agency is thus chosen as research subject for providing empirical evidence through participation and observation, case analysis and depth interview. Based on the analysis on empirical evidence, this research has come to the following conclusion: current ratio in applying Heterogeneous Lowest Tender by official agencies is still relatively low; standard for evaluation on heterogeneous items should be even more clearly specified; emphasis on items to be examined should place on professional skills or performance bond; conditions for qualification should be based on scores above a dictated average; establishment of reexamination system is unnecessary; report on unreasonably low bidding price is still required; Heterogeneous Lowest Tender is more price competitive than the Most Advantageous Tender; and the quality of Heterogeneous Lowest Tender is higher than those with homogeneous quality. Based on the above research discoveries and conclusion, this research will propose the following suggestions: clearly define the meaning of “heterogeneity” and standardize it with quantity; establish qualification standards for Heterogeneous Lowest Tender with “proportional size of the bidding company” along with “minimum passing score”; establish conditional standard establishment by various agencies in accordance to individual procurement objective upon the return of examination standard; evaluate the feasibility of the reexamination system of Heterogeneous Lowest Tender standard; amend or add relative Legal stipulations on Heterogeneous Lowest Tender and issue examples for reference; improve professional training on procurement personnel to raise Lowest Tender in Heterogeneous Procurement performance.
