This chapter explores how tendering for construction projects can support sustainable urban construction logistics. It also explores the potential for tendering construction projects, by both public and private clients, for sustainable urban construction logistics and presents a conceptual framework for specifying 'logistics quality' as a quality criterion for economically most advantageous tender (EMAT). The chapter looks at the relevance of construction logistics in urban areas and the logistics concepts available for urban construction logistics based on a literature review and research. It also presents an overview of literature on tendering construction projects and use of the EMAT procedure. The generally accepted definition of logistics, when applied to the construction industry, results in the following definition of construction logistics: the scope of construction logistics concerns all supply and disposal shipments of building materials, construction equipment and construction personnel to and from the construction site.
