This research was prompted by the inefficiencies that have been experienced in public procurement procedures, especially with regard to procurement cycle times. The study aimed at examining the impact of the implementation of the E-GP system on procurement cycle time, identifying the challenges faced in the implementation process, analyzing the importance of the electronic payment system, and suggesting ways of enhancing the system. The research employed quantitative case study design. A sample of fifteen respondents consisting of procurement officials, financial officials, ICT officials, top-level managers, and suppliers was selected purposefully. However, the overall decline in the cycle time of procurement processes is still impeded by various issues, such as the poor state of ICT infrastructure, lack of user training, poor integration of the system, and resistance to change. Also, it has been noted that despite contributing to higher transparency and tracking of payments, e-payment did not have a significant influence on the pace of transactions because of some extraneous economic and institutional reasons. In conclusion, it is possible to say that, while being highly effective in terms of procurement efficiency enhancement, the use of the E-GP system depends on some additional conditions, such as system integration and institutional and technological support for procurement.en
