Abdulmajeed, Bariq W. / Altaie, Meervat R.

The supply chains of construction projects in Iraq have a significant impact on the quality, cost, and time of the project, and therefore the supplier is considered of great importance in the success of the project and achieving the desired objectives. According to the Ministry of Planning publications (Standard Bid Documents Supplying of Commodities) and international standards requirements from suppliers, it found a gap between the global needs and the available requirements. The purpose of this research is to set a standard for suppliers to know the level of each supplier and to propose these standards to be combined with standard bid documents supplying commodities to fill the gap by developing it by making it a sustainable document. The standards that meet the research objectives were collected and included in a questionnaire targeting the experts from various specialties related to the research topics from academics and employees in the supplying of commodities and project departments in the various ministries to evaluate the importance of the standards in evaluating suppliers from a sustainable point of view. The RII (Relative Important Index) was adopted statistically to know the importance of the standards. The essential standards became the base standards for the rating system. The research results indicated that most economic, environmental, and social standards are important in evaluating the suppliers, thus bringing us closer to global sustainability standards. The research outputs were a rating system for suppliers on an economic, environmental, and social basis.
