Closed-loop systems refer to procurement processes that incorporate continuous monitoring, feedback, and corrective actions to improve decision-making and efficiency. In public institutions, procurement performance is often challenged by delays, limited transparency, and weak monitoring mechanisms. The study therefore sought to establish how feedback mechanisms, monitoring systems, and performance evaluation influence procurement outcomes within parliamentary operations. The study adopted a descriptive research design using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Data were collected from staff involved in procurement, finance, and administration within the Parliament. Primary data were obtained through structured questionnaires and interviews, while secondary data were obtained from procurement reports, policy documents, and institutional records. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis to establish relationships between closed-loop system practices and procurement performance indicators such as efficiency, accountability, cost control, and service delivery. The findings of the study indicate that effective implementation of closed-loop systems improves procurement performance by enhancing transparency, strengthening monitoring processes, and enabling timely feedback for corrective action. The study concludes that institutions that integrate feedback mechanisms into procurement processes are more likely to achieve improved accountability and operational efficiency. The research therefore recommends that the Parliament strengthen digital procurement systems, enhance monitoring and evaluation practices, and promote continuous feedback mechanisms to improve procurement performance.enThe effect of closed loop systems in sustainable procurementDissertation
