IntroductionPublic procurement is the acquisition (through buying or purchasing) of goods and services by government or public organizations. Arrowsmith (2016) contends that the concept of public procurement can be referred to as procurement planning, contract placement and contract administration. Procurement framework has been used as a significant apparatus for accomplishing financial, social, and different destinations (Arrow, 2016). The open division's procurement framework is broadly defined as the purchasing, hiring, or acquiring of goods, development works, and administrations via other legally obligatory ways (Kipchilat, 2016). It is a major government function that organizes the largest home display in many countries. If properly managed, the procurement system may contribute to a country's financial development by increasing its economy and proficiency.Procurement, as a global activity, seeks to accomplish a number of goals. Economy, efficiency, fairness (nondiscrimination among prospective suppliers), responsibility, and openness are just a few of them. Savings in buying transaction costs as a consequence of less paperwork, fewer errors, and a more effective purchasing process are some of the advantages of implementing modern procurement (Eyaa & Oluka, 2016). Green procurement, ethical procurement, such as avoiding labor abuses in the supply chain, and social impact procurement, which aims to create economic possibilities for local companies and targeted employee groups, continue to be successfully blended in North American nations. In Asia, nations like China, Thailand, and Malaysia are gradually embracing SPP, following the regional giants such as Japan and the Republic of Korea. A growing number of nations in Latin America are creating, adopting, and implementing SPP policies (United Nations, 2015).The procurement process in the Nigerian construction sector is characterized by a lack of fundamental understanding of electronic procurement and the absence of basic equipment required for the procedure's use. Other issues influencing electronic procurement implementation include inconsistent power supply, financial consequences of setting up electronic procurement infrastructure, and low telecoms infrastructure rank (Oyediran & Akintola's, 2016).
