INFLUENCE OF PROCUREMENT PROCEDURES ON PERFORMANCE OF PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS PROJECTS IN KENYA
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of procurement procedures on the procurement performance in the public-private partnerships projects in Kenya. Descriptive research design was used in collecting the data. The target population was 228 respondents which in the PPPs projects. Data collection instrument used was the questionnaires. The pilot test was conducted to ensure the validity and reliability of the instruments. The findings were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences and presented tables. It was notable that there exist strong positive relationship between the indepedent variables and depedent variable. The coefficient of determination (R2) explained the extent to which changes in the dependent variable could be explained by the change in the independent variables or the percentage of variation in the dependent variable and the four independent variables that were studied explained 79.70% of the performance of PPPs. The tendering procedures improve the performance of PPPs projects in Kenya. Tendering application procedures should clearly contain the design and specification of the projects. The study established a positive relationship between procurement appraisal procedure and procurement performance. The organization should therefore invest on modern appraisal criteria that have been proven to have greater procurement performance. The study recommended that there should be a centralized material management team co-ordination between the site and the organization, proper control, tracking and monitoring of the system is required. The study therefore recommended that ethical procedure should be enhanced to reduce the cases of unethical practices relating to procurement in the PPPs in Kenya. Conflict of interest should be put on a check since it affects the setting of projects. Tender bids evaluation need to be improved to take lesser time. The tender committee needs to be investigated for allegations of corruption and specifications should be made clear in the projects.
