Decision Support System in Detrmination of Project Tender Winner Using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) Method

Abstract. Decision Support System (DSS) is a system that can help someone in making accurate
and targeted decisions. Many problems can be solved by using DSS, one of which is the
determination in the winner of the project tender. There are several methods that can be used in
building a DSS, including Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP is the most widely used
method in solving multi-criteria problems, such as in determining the winner of a project tender.
This study uses the AHP method in determining the winner of a project tender in the Procurement
Services Unit (ULP) IAIN Bukittinggi. In determining the winner of a tender, there are several
criteria that form the basis of decision making including administrative evaluation, technical
evaluation, price evaluation and qualification evaluation. From the four criteria, it is processed
according to alternative data, namely bidders. The application used in determining the winner of
this tender is the Expert Choice software. The final results in this study are the results of global
priority criteria that are sorted from highest to lowest, so that the committee can determine the
winner of the tender.
