| dc.description.abstract | The study assessed how Procurement Management contributed to the Performance of
Construction Projects in Uganda, the case study of National Housing and Construction
Company Limited. The research objectives were; To Establish the Relationship between
Procurement Planning and the Performance of Construction Project in NHCCL; To
Establish the Relationship between Supplier Selection and the Performance of
Construction Project in NHCCL; To Assess the Role of Contract Administration in
Facilitating the Performance of Construction Projects in NHCCL and to Find out the
Moderator Effect of the Procurement Legal Framework on Procurement Management and
the Performance of Construction Project in NHCCL. A case study research design was
used. Data was collected using questionnaires and interview guide from a sampled size of
166 respondents, from a targeted population of 183 individuals. The study established a
positive, strong relationship between Procurement Planning and Performance, between
Supplier Selection and Performance, and between Contract Administration and
Performance. However, without The Procurement Legal Framework, the relationship
between Procurement Planning, Supplier selection and Contract Administration with
Performance would be weakened. The study recommends an improvement in
Procurement Planning, through industrial training of procurement officers and the follow
up of the consolidated procurement plan. The researcher recommends an improvement in
Supplier Selection through monitoring suppliers’ cash flow, mentoring and development
activities, general and operating management training and through capacity building.
Contract Administration should be improved through the adoption of best practices,
introduction of project management skills and identifying risk mitigating factors. The
researcher further recommends the use of sensitization programmes, to create awareness
of the importance and role of The Procurement Legal Framework. | en_US |
