Assessing the Readiness of the Public Sector to Embrace Electronic Procurement in Uganda.
(Uganda Christian University, 2023-09-27) Dickson Sserulika
E-procurement adoptions make purchasing activities are more effective in terms of both time and cost. In Uganda the adoption of e-procurement is at infant stage. The focus of this report is on adoption of e-procurement and value that can be achieved in public sector. The study was guided by three objectives namely, to examine the already established electronic procurement systems in the public sectors, to assess the electronic procurement readiness in public sectors of Uganda and to assess the human capital in regards to embracing e-procurement in public sectors of Uganda. The study was guided by the UTAUT theory of adoption and several works by different scholars on adoption of E-procurement in state corporations. The research methodology used in the study include the data collection techniques which focus on questionnaire as primary data collection, and secondary data collection involved books, journal and internet search engine like Google scholar. Non probability sampling was used in this study. Public sectors Limited has adopted the E-procurement system even though several procurement functions are still carried out in the traditional manual system. Some of the functions that are yet to be done through the e-procurement system include increased transparency, cost saving because of reduced paper work, easy payment, traceability of documents. E-procurement is successfully implemented through business level of transaction i.e. organization to organization and not at individual level such as purchasing vehicles online. However, this progress cannot be ignored as it enlightens and exposes individual procurement experts to some practical knowledge on e-procurement such as the e-data interchange, e-sourcing, e-payment and risk management. At the country level they have made little progress towards full application of E-procurement and more efforts are required in order to fast track the process. Hence the government has to be more committed and needs to provide its full support.

Chapter one consists of introduction of the variables, their scope and statement of the problem, objectives of the study, research questions and the scope of the study. Chapter two draws down the literature review of all the objectives. Chapter three narrates the methods of data collection, population size and sample size of the study population while chapter four and five crown data analysis, presentation, interpretation and discussion of research findings, conclusions, recommendations and spot areas of further research respectively. New times roman size 12 and 1.5 line spacing was used to compile this proposal. The scope of this study is restricted to the barriers of sustainable procurement in local governments in Uganda with general objectives such as highlighting the factors perceived to be the most important barriers to implementing sustainable procurement in local governments in Uganda, investigating the value or benefits of sustainable procurement practices in public sector organizations and developing proposed interventions aimed to successfully implement sustainable procurement practices. Some of the barriers of sustainable procurement include; lack of awareness, cost implication, availability of suppliers of sustainable products, tools or services, knowledge and capacity, structural and organizational change, effective supplier engagement among others. The benefits include; the control of costs through whole life costing, compliance with environmental legislation, management of risk, and competitive advantage among others. Some of the interventions aimed at successfully implementing sustainable procurement include; conducting initial training in key sustainable procurement principles and coming up with a sustainability criterion when awarding key contracts. The research was exploratory in nature and that is to say that it adopted both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection. In qualitative, the researcher was able to analyze findings on the ground through interaction with the participants at the field in order to make the research study more meaningful while in quantitative method, the researcher presented the findings statistically in table form so as to make the analysis easy. A sample size of fifty-two (52) respondents was studied of which only thirty-seven (37) responded to the questionnaires issued to them. Fourteen respondents understood the concept of sustainable procurement while twenty-three had no idea about the concept and also didn’t observe any benefits articulated to sustainable procurement in the organization. However, the rest of the respondents stated some benefits of sustainable procurement such as; Value for money and the costs attributed to the procured products were controlled throughout its shelf life. The majority of them considered lack of top management support and sustainable procurement being a very costly venture as most important barriers to sustainable procurement. Amidst these barriers, the respondents suggested some interventions aimed at successfully implementing sustainable procurement including conducting initial training in key sustainable procurement principles and providing a sustainability criterion when awarding key contracts. The researcher discussed the results of the findings with respect to the general objectives of the study; he related his field findings with the literature review and found a good coloration between the two sets of data. He recommended these research findings to the students and all procurement practitioners, the organization and finally to the government. He also spotted areas of further research
Dissertation
(Uganda Christian University, 2024-09-18) Deng Malok
This research investigates how procurement planning affects public organization service delivery, concentrating on Wakiso District. Three main goals drove the research: first, to examine the roles that different stakeholders played in the procurement planning process; second, to assess the effect that high-quality planning has on service delivery; and third, to determine the extent to which the choice of procurement methods affects service delivery in Wakiso District. The study's findings reveal that effective stakeholder engagement during procurement planning significantly enhances service delivery outcomes. However, challenges such as inadequate training and resistance from external stakeholders hinder the full realization of these benefits. This is consistent with Grillitsch & Rekers (2016), who argue that stakeholder involvement is crucial for successful public sector procurement but is often insufficiently addressed. Additionally, the research highlights the positive impact of quality plans on service delivery, with a majority of respondents acknowledging improvements in accountability, transparency, and the reduction of project delays and cost overruns. These findings align with Smith, & Irani (2003), who emphasize the role of quality management in enhancing project efficiency. However, the study also identifies gaps in the regular review and updating of quality plans, which Oakland (2014) notes as essential for maintaining their relevance in dynamic service delivery environments. Finally, the study assesses the influence of procurement methods on service delivery, concluding that the choice of method significantly affects the timeliness and quality of service delivery. This finding supports the argument by Thai (2001) that procurement methods must be carefully selected to align with organizational goals and service delivery requirements. In conclusion, this research underscores the critical role of procurement planning in enhancing service delivery in public organizations. It calls for improved stakeholder engagement, regular updates to quality plans, and careful selection of procurement methods to optimize service delivery outcomes in Wakiso District. The study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing empirical evidence on the importance of these factors in public sector procurement, particularly within the Ugandan context
DISSERTATION
(UCU, 2024-09-23) KIRUNDA MEDY
ABSTRACT. Using Uganda Christian University as a case study, this study looked at the limitations impacting procurement procedures in private companies and how they affect operational effectiveness. The study focused on budgetary limitations, organizational design, and regulatory compliance. Budgetary restrictions were observed to frequently result in trade-offs between cost and quality, which had an impact on decision-making and procurement schedules. It was discovered that the organizations decentralized procurement procedures contributed to delays and inefficiencies. In addition, it was observed that delays were introduced by legal compliance and regulatory requirements because of the stringent documentation and approval procedures. The study aimed at identifying these constraints and evaluate their impact on procurement performance to suggest ways to improve procurement practices. Using a cross-sectional design, the study combined quantitative and qualitative methods, gathering data through questionnaires, interviews, and observations from a sample of 44 employees out of a total population of 655, selected via stratified sampling. Primary data was collected through direct observations and structured and semi-structured interviews. The study ensured validity by maintaining a Content Validity Index (CVI) of at least 0.70 and upheld reliability through consistent data analysis methods.In chapter four, the data collected is presented, analyzed, and interpreted using tables, pie charts, and bar graphs. Key findings reveal that budgetary limitations lead to compromises in procurement quality and efficiency, while the organizational structure affects the implementation of strategic procurement initiatives. Although regulatory compliance is crucial, it adds to delays and inefficiencies. The study's significance lies in its potential to improve cost efficiency and procurement practices at Uganda Christian University, offering insights that could lead to substantial savings and enhanced organizational outcomes. The research is geographically focused on Uganda Christian University's main campus in Mukono, Uganda, and spans a period of three months. Anticipated limitations include respondent availability and potential reluctance to share information, which will be managed through careful planning and confidentiality assura
Effect of Electronic Procurement on Organizational Supply Chain Performance: A Case Study of the Petroleum Authority of Uganda
(Uganda Christian University, 2024-09-17) Phionah Rwendeire
This study investigated the impact of electronic procurement on organizational supply chain performance, with a specific focus on the Petroleum Authority of Uganda. Employing a descriptive cross-sectional research design, the study aimed to evaluate the roles of electronic tendering, e-invoicing, and e-payments in enhancing supply chain efficiency and effectiveness. A sample of 45 employees from the procurement department and other related departments were selected through stratified random sampling, and quantitative data was collected using structured questionnaires and data analyzed using SPSS. The findings indicate that electronic tendering significantly enhances supply chain performance by increasing efficiency, reducing costs, and fostering competitive bidding. Despite these benefits, some challenges related to procurement cycle times and communication persist. Electronic invoicing has also demonstrated a positive impact, particularly in streamlining payment processes and improving cash flow management. However, the effectiveness of electronic invoicing in reducing errors and disputes with suppliers varies across organizations. Electronic payments have contributed to faster transactions, improved administrative efficiency, and enhanced financial security, though issues related to transaction accuracy and cash flow management remain. The study concludes that while electronic procurement systems offer considerable advantages in operational efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and supplier relationships, there are areas for improvement. Recommendations include enhancing system integration and user training for electronic tendering, fully integrating electronic invoicing systems into financial workflows, and addressing challenges associated with electronic payments. These measures will help organizations fully capitalize on the benefits of electronic procurement and achieve more consistent performance improvements in their supply chains.
