Abstract
In any institution, success is majorly determined by the procurement practices adopted and how well these procurement practices are implemented. The study sought to establish the effect of procurement practices on the supply chain performance of selected public Universities in Kenya. The study adopted a cross-sectional descriptive survey research design and the target population was all public Universities in Counties in the Eastern and Central Region of Kenya. The sample size comprised of 66 staff members. The study used multiple regression analysis to determine the significance of the relationship between the dependent variable and all the independent variables pooled together. Principle component analysis was used to obtain the regression models. Kaiser Meyer Olkin (KMO) sample adequacy and Bartlett’s sphericity tests were used to identify whether the output from the principal component analysis were suitable for regression. The results indicated strategic partnerships ranked first, followed by inventory management, procurement planning, and finally financial resource management in terms of significance influence on supply chain performance. The policy implication is that Universities should embark on training of supply chain players to equip them with relevant knowledge. The research findings will be of help to both public and private entities in improving on their supply chains.
