    Contract management and procurement performance of local governments in Uganda: a case study of Bugiri district
    (Kyambogo University (unpublished work), 2016-12) Ampumuza, Gracious Jean
    This study describes the influence of contract management on procurement performance of Local Governments in Uganda using Bugiri District as the case study. The three specific objectives of this study were to: examine the influence of contract creation on procurement performance; to assess the influence of contract execution on procurement performance and lastly, to determine the influence of contract analysis on procurement performance. The researcher employed a case study research design. Using a researcher' made five point Likert scale questionnaire, data was collected from a sample of respondents. Seventy (70) respondents out of a population of eighty (80) were elected using purposive and random sampling techniques (response rate of 94.3%). Data was analyzed using means and the regression analysis. Findings revealed that the extent of which contract creation predicts performance was low (r2 = .36. Sig. Value= 0.000): the extent to which contract execution influences procurement performance was low ( r~ -= .34. Sig. Value -=- 0.003) and lastly, the extent to which contract analysis influences procurement performance was moderate (r2 = .44, Sig. Value = 0.00 l ). On the other hand. findings revealed that contract management at Bugiri District local government in Uganda highly and positively influences procurement performance (R2= .779 Sig. Value= 0.000). This implies that where each of these variables; contract creation, execution and analysts are handled separately, each has a low influence on procurement performance. of However if handled wholesomely, results show that high procurement performance (78%) will be achieved. in light of this. the researcher therefore concludes that: practitioner . manager and civil servants at Bug1ri District should adopt a holistic approach in contract management, if procurement performance is to be maximized.

    Contract management and road construction project performance under the municipal infrastructure development program :case study of Soroti municipal council
    (Kyambogo University (un published work), 2018-11) Onyait, John Stephen
    The general objective of the study was to establish the relationship between contract management and road construction project performance under the USMID program. The specific objectives of the study related to examining the relationship between contract implementation planning, supervision and variations management and road construction project performance in Soroti Municipal Council. A cross-sectional survey design using both quantitative and qualitative approaches was adopted. The study population included Soroti Municipal Council technical staff, elected leaders and contractor representatives. The study found a high positive and sign ificant relationship between contract implementation planning and USMID project performance (r = 0.691 **, p = 0.000). There was a high positive and significant relationship between contract supervision and USMID project performance (r = 0.751 ** and p = 0.000). There was a high positive and significant relationship between variations management and USMID project performance (r = 0.740** and significance p = 0.000). It was concluded that USMID project performance was dependent on how the projects management team undertakes to effectively carry out contract implementation planning, conduct contract supervision and manage cost and price variations during contract management. To enhance the present and future USMID World Bank project time, cost and quality performance, the study recommends that the municipal project management team and contractors should adequately conduct project resource planning, by identifying and availing the necessary construction equipment and laboratory fac ilities for testing quality of construction works; strengthen stakeholder management through active involvement and collaboration with technical, donor and political Municipal stakeholders in USMTD project implementation. On contract supervisions the projects should regularly convene progress review meetings, spot inspections with donor and Municipal political stakeholders. On management of contract variations, the project management team and contractors should promptly identify and resolve any project scope of works change, Bill of quantities, time and quality variations during contract performance; promptly identify and resolve any project cost variations arising from project scope, inflation, time and technical costs variations. The use of procurement legal provisions and industry standards could be sought for prompt project cost variations management.

    Contract management and service delivery in Public sector: a case of Uganda electricity transmission company
    (Kyambogo University [unpublished work], 2013-10) Mary, Ziribagwa Margaret
    Contract management has become a core competency critical to an organization's competitive advantage. Recent studies had shown that organizations with established and mature contract management practices are able to generate millions of dollars in additional savings and have a competitive advantage over their competitors. This study looked at the impact of contract management on service delivery in public sector with a case study of Uganda Electricity Transmission Company (UETCL). Specifically the study reviewed contract management practices and how they influence the service delivery of public organizations. The researcher adapted a case study design using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The data was generated from questionnaires, interviews and review of available documents in line with contract management and service delivery. Data collected was analyzed using Pearson product moment correlation coefficient (PMCC) to make conclusions. The findings of the study indicated that the contract management practices that is contract mobilization, contract monitoring, performance management and contract completion were effectively managed in UETCL. The service levels were in place and finally it was established that contract monitoring and performance management had a positive significant relationship on service delivery. It was recommended that if service delivery is to be improved in public sector organizations, the policy makers and other stake holders should enhance the contract management practices through data collection systems to create access to contract information and clear benchmarks to check supplier performance based on contract terms. This can be achieved through establishing a performance management framework that would provide a contract management framework with agreed targets for the providers to meet.
