| description | The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between procurement planning and the performance of public entities of the Kisoro district local government. lt was guided by objectives namely; the relationship between procurement needs assessment and performance, procurement budgeting, and performance. The study adopted a cross-sectional study design and a selected size of 131 was used. Primary data was collected from procurement officers and staff from the accounts/ finance department using both questionnaires and an interview guide. Secondary data was mainly obtained from annual reports, manuals, the PPDA Act, 2003, policy guidelines, and journals among others. Based on the data analysis results, it was found that there is a relationship between procurement planning and the performance of public entities. It was also found that PDU prepares a consolidated procurement work plan subject to the approved annual budget, it also implied that generally, the respondents agreed that the consolidated procurement plan is strictly followed. The study also found that procurement budgeting and planning are influenced by the market environment. The procurement activities planning is dependent on annual budgets. it was concluded that adhering to the procurement planning procedures and methods as prescribed by the PPDA Act, 2003: empowering the PDU procurement officers and training them on public procurement laws. policies regulations and policy guidelines especially the PPDA Act, 2003 will enable them to independently handle and manage procurement needs assessment and budgeting and mn compliance with procurement planning procedures and methods and improve the overall performance of the KDLG PDU. The study recommends that PDUs in Uganda should train and sensitize procurement and tendering/contract committee members, suppliers, bidders/ contractors on appropriate procurement procedures and practices as required by the PPDA Act, 2003 to enhance compliance with the Act, reduce costs, and enhance timely delivery. The researcher recommends further research in the areas of public procurement policy guidelines and performance, corruption in PDUs and performance, and, procurement budgeting and performance of PDUs in Uganda. |
