THE ROLE OF PROACTIVE PROCUREMENT ON STRATEGIC PROCUREMENT PERFORMANCE AT PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS IN KENYA: A SURVEY OF RONGAI SUB-COUNTY IN NAKURU COUNTY


John Kipkorir

ABSTRACT

The research study covered the role of proactive procurement on strategic procurement performance at public institutions in Kenya: A survey of Rongai Sub-County in Nakuru County. There was need to have direct interventions that would undo the complexities that bedevil the efforts of the government and international organization for supporting the public procurement performance initiatives. Despite of the presence of the current legal framework (PPDA, 2005), the efficiency and effectiveness of the procurement process had not been achieved. This was demonstrated by the continuous return of unutilized funds to the treasury by state agencies. The objectives of the study were: To assess the contribution of Early Supplier involvement to strategic procurement performance, to find out the role of procuring entity- supplier partnership(s) on strategic procurement performance and to establish the effects of information sharing on strategic procurement performance at public institutions. The study targeted a population of 200 persons from the user departments and prequalified suppliers engaged in procurement at Rongai Sub-County in Nakuru County. Both stratified sampling and Simple Random Sampling techniques were used to select the respondents. The study used questionnaires for collecting data that supported the intended objectives.
