Abstract

E-procurement is the use of ICT capabilities to decrease the human contact in procurement operations. E-procurement enables users to find goods in electronic catalogs, generate orders, route them for approval, create and transmit orders to suppliers, and automate the invoicing and payment process. The study's major goal was to look at the impact of E-procurement on the performance of construction projects in Kenya's Lake Region Economic Bloc counties. The study used an explanatory research design. A stratified random sampling approach was employed to choose 342 respondents from a target group of 2,346 County officers. Primary data were gathered through interviews and questionnaires. Data was analyzed for inferential as well as descriptive statistics using SPSS version 26 and theme analysis, respectively. E-procurement was established to be a strong predictor of the success of building projects in the Lake Region Economic Bloc counties. Electronic procurement can account for up to 76.2% of the variation in construction project performance (R2=0.762, P

Abstract

The framers of the Public Procurement Law envisaged to streamline how public procurement should be conducted in order to realize value for money in public procuring entities. The primary objective of the research thus was to determine the effect of green procurement on service delivery of County Governments in Western Region, Kenya. The study adopted a positivist research approach and was informed by ecological modernization theory. The study was conducted in Western Region, Kenya in the Counties of Kakamega, Busia, Vihiga, and Bungoma. The study's target population of 228 officials was broken down into chief officers, directors, finance officers, and procurement officers. The study selected 174 participants as its sample. Primary data was gathered through interview schedules and a questionnaire. A pilot study was carried out to test for validity and reliability. The data analysis made use of both descriptive and inferential statistics. SPSS version 26 was used to analyse quantitative data while qualitative data was analysed thematically alongside study objectives. Green procurement was found to be a significant predictor of service delivery in County Governments. Specifically the study's findings showed that Green Procurement explains 23% of variation in service delivery of County Governments in western Kenya Region. Green Procurement had unstandardized regression value of 0.368. This suggested that County Governments in the Western Region, Kenya will boost the delivery of services by 36.8% for each additional unit in green procurement. The study came to the conclusion that there is need for the County Governments to ensure legislation, enforcement and adherence to environmental laws and policies.
