Efficiency Hypothesis Testing in an e-Procurement Implementation Assessment Model Framework: A Case Study of Bangladesh's Roads and Highways Division

Abstract

In 2011, the e-Government Procurement (e-GP) guideline 2011 is adopted to start electronic procurement in public sector. However, since the e-GP system was first implemented, a great deal of investigations or analyses have not been conducted to determine how well its tender efficiency measured. This research aims to investigate the essential variables that contribute to the successful implementation of an electronic procurement system in Bangladesh. Another goal is to identify e-procurement implementation issues and build an efficient e-procurement implementation assessment model. Survey questionnaires were employed to collect data from eleven Roads and Highways Division (RHD) zones as a population. The study sample size of the bidders was 139. Hypothesis test has been done choosing MLR model of SPSS software. Efficiency was one of the eight hypothesis tests in the study. Findings proved that model was fit. The article helps readers comprehend the key elements that could affect the efficiency of public procurement. By attaining efficiency in public procurement, the study promises a significant contribution to saving public money.
