Abstract
Buildings are highly resourceful in the effective operation of tertiary
institutions. It is necessary that these assets should be given good
maintenance attention for effective performance. In Nigeria greater part of
infrastructural facilities in higher education institutions are provided by
TETfund. Currently the building projects are facing ineffective maintenance due
to bureaucratic constrains and lack of provision of formidable and outstanding
building Maintenance Management Practice within the Policy of TETfund. TETfunds
buildings projects in HEIs only receive top management’s attention when there
is a problem. The choice and implementation of appropriate building maintenance
procurement on TETfund building projects is a key decision that has to be made
by the maintenance authorities within the HEIs early in the project lifecycle. it
is indeed very vital to establish a systematic approach that can assist the
maintenance departments in decision making on selecting the most appropriate
building maintenance procurement method on the existing TETfund building
projects. This study aimed at establishing decision making matrix for selecting
the most appropriate building maintenance procurement method on TETfund
building projects. The study used literature review, experts interview and the
case study to develop, demonstrate and validate the decision matrix, From
detailed literature review, a total of 26 factors influencing the selection of
maintenance procurement method were shortlisted and considered as selection
criteria and the criteria are further caterogised into 4 major groups. A
questionnaire survey has been carried out to determine the most important
factors by using relative important index (RII) method. Target population of
the study are the maintenance personnel, constructional professionals within
the academic staff and TETfunds desk officers. Convenience sampling technique
was used to select seventy (70) respondents within HEIs that are beneficiaries
of TETfund physical projects intervention within Bauchi State. After data
analysis, price / costs certainty quality level, speed, experience contractor
availability existing building condition and dissatisfaction with previous
method used are found to be most significant factors. In the final phase
weighted – matrix has been used to establish the deicson making matrix. This
matrix is proposed to be very easy for maintenance personnel and the management
of HEIs to use, while at the same time, providing tool that can be used in
making a decision for selection of a suitable maintenance procurement method.
