dc.description.abstract | Public procurement often constitutes the largest domestic market in developing countries.
Depending on how it is managed, the public procurement system can thus contribute to
the economic development of these countries; it is because of this that the study aimed at
determining Factors Influencing Tendering Process In The Implementation Of Road
Construction Projects: A Case Of Mau-Narok –Kisiriri Road Project By Kenya National
Highway Authority, Narok County, Kenya under the following objectives to establish the
extent to which tendering duration influences tendering process, examine the extent to
which ethical practices influences tendering process, to examine the extent to which
records management influences tendering process and determine the extent to which ICT
usages in tendering influences tendering Process in KENHA. The study was supported in
both the theoretical and conceptual frameworks where the relationship between the
variables was displayed. The study employed descriptive survey research design that was
then subjected to a target population of 114, the sample size was then derived from the
target population using census sampling methods that yielded still 114 member group of
sample size. An analysis of how ethical practices influence tendering processes in Kenya
was done and the findings revealed that 14(11%) and 38(27%) of the respondents
strongly agree and agree that withdrawal of bids can be used to favor certain preferred
entities or individuals; there was a significant difference between respondents who
agreed, 56(44%) and those who disagreed at 20(16%) on the tendering process at
KENHA being transparent with information equally available to all interested bidders;
The findings indicate that most of the respondents at 40(31%) are undecided on whether
use of IT in the tendering process enables KENHA to save on time and money in terms of
operation costs- in disagreement were 17(13%) of the respondents who cited that the
statement was a policy issue with set durations of tendering process. The study concluded
KENHA administrations invest heavily in ICT and should keep the trading community
informed about their investment objectives. An effective procurement begins well before
a request for tenders is released. The procurement life cycle begins with strategic
planning and continues through procurement and on into the planned obsolescence of
both hardware and software. The study recommends that Equal opportunity when
tendering is whereby any type of discrimination demoralizes interest in open tendering
process and undermines any push to accomplish esteem for cash through open
competition thus no officer should oppress any potential bidder based upon sexual
orientation, ethnicity, religious affiliation, physical incapacity or gathering affiliation in
the open tendering process. | en_US |
