Description
Over the years, strict adherence to public procurement processes has become a major challenge in public institutions rendering them ineffective and inefficient.
The aim of this study is to assess the factors impeding the effectiveness and efficiency of Public Procurement Delivery. From literature reviewed, a conceptual framework was constructed to serve as a robust model using dependent variables for Effectiveness and Efficiency of Public Procurement Delivery. A mixed method approach (qualitative and quantitative) was adopted for this research.
The data collected was then analyzed using SPSS version 20 for the quantitative section and the qualitative data collected through in-depth interviews was analyzed using content analysis. The study documented that the correlation between independent variables comprising Political interference had a negative influence or outcome on all three (3) dependent variables (Fairness, Transparency & Value for Money). Social factors on the other hand had a weak influence or outcome on the Fairness and Transparency variables but had a negative influence on the Value for Money variables. However, the other independent variables comprising Economic, Environmental factors & Policy had positive influences and outcomes on the dependent variables in determining the levels of effectiveness and efficiency.
The study therefore recommended that, this model be applied due to its capacity to measure and test the strengths of the objectives in determining the levels of effectiveness and efficiency.
