Abstract

This research was conducted in Kabale District Local Government to examine the effect of procurement producers on contract management. The predictor variables under study were procurement standards, procurement advertising, and bid evaluation while contract management was the outcome variable. The study followed a cross-sectional survey. Data from 86 respondents was collected and analyzed quantitatively complemented with qualitative analysis. Since descriptive analysis entailed a description of a single variable and its attributes, frequency tables were used to present the data. At the bivariate level, a Pearson correlation matrix was conducted to ascertain the relationships between the predictor variables and the dependent variable. A linear regression model was used to fit the data. Research findings from the regression model show that procurement standards (R=862), procurement advertising (R=656 and bid evaluation (R=899) have a positive significance on the contract management at Kabale District local government. The main conclusion drawn from this research is that procurement standards, procurement advertising, and bid evaluation have a significant effect on contract management. The study therefore recommends that there is a need to put more efforts on procurement standards, procurement advertising, and bid evaluation determinations to make contract management sustainable at Kabale District local government.
