This Special Issue focuses on the application of Best Value Procurement / Performance Information Measurement System (BVP / PIPS) methodology in The Netherlands. After the US, the Netherlands is the country where BVP is applied on the largest scale. BVP in the Netherlands is applied in and outside construction (ship building, IT, health care), in the public sector as well as in the private sector and across numerous phases in (different) supply chains. As of 2010 BVP is on its way to becoming the new way of procurement in The Netherlands, which is reason enough to publish this special issue.
