| Summary: | Procurement practices have been identified as the bedrock
to achieving value for money within both private and
public sector organisations. This study investigates the
effect of procurement practices on public service delivery,
by analysing the perspectives of respondents collected
using questionnaires. The response rate of sampled
respondents was 96%. From the analysis of demographic
characteristics of the respondents, majority has the
following the attributes: (i) tertiary level of education, (ii)
are males, (iii) aged between 30 to 39 years, and (iv) have
experience ranging from 1 to 5 years. There is absence of
multicollinearity in the variables. The estimates from the
multiple regression analysis suggest that procurement
policy; procurement planning and sustainable
procurement have positive and significant effect on public
service delivery at the 5% percent significance level. The
researchers therefore conclude that procurement practices
have positive and significant influence on public service
delivery. A major managerial implication of these findings
therefore is that procurement practices is a key driver of
service delivery in public institutions. |
