IMPROVING THE LEVEL OF COMPLIANCE OF THE PUBLIC PROCUREMENT ACT 2003 (ACT 663) OF GHANA IN THE COLLEGES OF EDUCATION; THE CASE OF THE BRONG AHAFO REGION
Abstract
Governments all over the world spend a lot on the procurement of public goods and services.
Many countries have therefore, enacted procurement laws to achieve efficient and effective use
of the state‟s resources. In Ghana, the Public Procurement Act, 2003 (Act 663) was enacted to
address the real and perceived challenges of the public procurement of goods works and services.
However, compliance with the act among entities remains a challenge. Attempts by many
empirical studies to address the challenge have exclusively focused on areas outside the Asante
Akim North Municipality. The objective of this study is to analyse the level of compliance and
factors influencing compliance in the Asante Akim North Municipality. A mixed research
approach was used to gather both primary and secondary data from public entities in the local
government, health and education which are involved in procurement process. The results
provide that local government institutions in the Municipality have overall best scores in
compliance while educational institutions were observed to have low compliance level. Main
determinants of compliance include professionalism, transparency, efficiency and value for
money. The results of the study have implications for management of procurement activities in
the Asante Akim North Municipality.
