“…Moreover, [4] studied e-tendering in China and discovered that the understanding of e-tendering among management team, political and institutional support, are required for e-tendering implementations, but are not the only factors needed to achieve success. The extent of development in e-tendering within the public sector does not necessarily measures up with the extent of development of these countries.…”

The growth of any developing and even developed country can be traced or ascertained by the myriad of standard, sophisticated, and profit-oriented projects that have been executed and others still under construction. Many countries in the world, especially Nigeria has suffered huge deficit in the procurement of construction works, since the procurement segment of the construction industry is the largest segment and, holds the promise of efficient and successful project delivery, coupled with client expectations being met adequately. This book chapter is to address the pitfalls or backdrops in the procurement process, viz.; bulky paper-work, corruption, poor assessment of tender documents, human errors, etc. Therefore, Utilizing the e-tendering system will foster transparency, accountability, proper documentation and also to encourage competitiveness among various class of contractors, which are the main findings in the book. The authors, prepared a myriad of questions that portray the tendency of enhancing quality projects delivery. The authors shared 30 copies of the questionnaires, and the 30 copies were received with feedback. The data filled in the questionnaire were examined, using the SPSS software, that is usually adopted for data analysis. After the results of the questionnaire were examined, it was discovered that all the factors highlighted in the questionnaire were required to be in the contractor’s portfolio.

“…Bulut and Yen (2013) studied e-procurement in China and found that the perception and understanding of eprocurement among decision makers and other key stakeholders, in addition to political and institutional support, are prerequisites for E-P implementations and yet are not the only factors that lead to success. And the level of development of E-P within the public sector does not necessarily correlate with the level of development of these countries [7]. Dominic (2014) aimed to establish the e-procurement practices employed by Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), and to establish the factors influencing application of e-procurement at KRA.…”

Development of a country is measured by the number and quality of modern and contemporary projects that have been and are being established. As the construction industry is the nucleus for the development of any country, the stages of each project are tracked and monitored. It was found that the procurement stage has the biggest and most important influence in the successful completion of the project with the desired results. This research aims to eliminate corruption in the procurement process, identify the additional factors relating to a contractor’s qualification that contribute towards an increase in the quality of the project; designing a computer programme that conducts the tender process electronically to avoid any human contact. The researcher designed a questionnaire which contains a number of factors that would increase the efficiency and quality of the project. The researcher distributed 50 questionnaire forms and received back 46 completed forms. The questionnaire outputs were analyzed by using the SPSS software which can be defined as a software package used in statistical analysis for data. After analyzing the results a nominal group session was held. This consisted of eight employees with technical, financial, legal, and supervisory and IT expertise. The work was collective and many questions were asked. All relevant factors were discussed. It was agreed to cancel three factors only as being irrelevant to the contractor's qualification process. The most significant findings were that if the organizations adopt the E-T system in the tendering process, corruption cases will disappear, the tendering process will be achieved with high level of integrity and transparency, and in order to implement the E-T system, the organization must be ready to change, the employees should have enough courage to adopt the system, and there would be a need for at least one person to play the role of champion/leader.

“…Independent Variables Dependent Variable Figure 1: conceptual Framework Source: Author (2018) Empirical Review Bulut and Yen (2013) found that e-tendering is mainly used to accommodate the requirements of the government sector units. Government sector units make use of e-journals to advertise tender notices rather than publishing newspaper advertisements.…”

The study sought to establish factors that influence the implementation of e-procurement in public technical vocational education and training institutions in Kenya. This study was informed by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Technology, Organization and Environment model and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Adoption Model. The study employed cross-sectional research design and targeted 86 Public Technical Vocational Education and Training institutions in Kenya. Closed and open ended questionnaires were distributed to heads of procurement functions in the institutions. Descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The results of the study revealed that Technological factors had a positive and statistically significant influence on the implementation of eprocurement in Public Technical Vocational Education and Training institutions in Kenya. The results further indicated that organizational factors had a positive and statistically significant influence on implementation of e-procurement in Public Technical Vocational Education and Training institutions in Kenya. However, environmental and financial factors were found not to have statistically significant influence on the implementation of e-procurement in these institutions. Additionally, the results indicated that the joint influence of technological, organizational, environmental and financial factors had a statistically significant influence on the implementation of e-procurement in Public Technical Vocational Education and Training institutions in Kenya. This study recommended for enhanced technological and organizational support for effective implementation of e-procurement in public institutions. This study had implications to knowledge and practice since it had not only evaluated the robustness of the Technology Acceptance Model in assessing factors that influence e-procurement implementation but also informed that organizational and technological factors were the most dominant factors hindering effective implementation of e-procurement in these institutions.
