“…A contract is a form of agreement that can either be oral or written legal and binding agreement between two or more parties, the contractual terms must be formulated in a manner that favors both parties with a vested interest in the contract, especially in group purchasing (Aluonzi, Oluka & Nduhura, 2016). Sexena, ( 2016) has viewed contract management as a process whereby contracting parties meet their obligations for the successful delivery of the project.…”

The Purchasing consortium has been used to describe a form of cooperation in a diversified view to pool resources and manage supply risk. Depending on the anticipated advantages, the function of a purchasing group might be expanded more or less. The objective of the study was to determine the influence of contract management on purchasing consortium. The study was done in the County Referral Hospital in the Coast Region, Kenya. Theoretically, the study was anchored on competency theory, MacNeil Relational Theory. The study used the descriptive research design in undertaking this study. The study population comprised of 212 officials drawn from across the county referral hospitals in the coastal region of Kenya. The stratified random sampling technique resulted into having a total sample size of 139 units of analysis. Data was collected by use of questionnaires, analyzed, and presented scientifically in tables and graphs. The study findings revealed that Contract Management has a significant positive on the purchasing consortium. The study recommends that government and regulatory authorities implement policies and incentives to encourage healthcare organizations to adopt a portfolio approach to procurement. Given the significant financial and operational implications of purchasing consortiums, robust regulatory mechanisms are essential to safeguard against corruption, fraud, and collusion. Regulators should establish clear guidelines, standards, and monitoring mechanisms to govern consortium formation, operation, and performance evaluation. The study also recommends that government and regulatory bodies leverage technology and data analytics to enhance procurement efficiency and effectiveness in the healthcare sector. Furthermore, the study recommends that hospital management adopt a strategic approach to contract management that aligns with their organizational objectives and resource constraints. While the correlation analysis revealed a weak relationship between contract management and consortium participation, it is imperative for hospitals to prioritize effective contract management practices to mitigate risks and maximize value from procurement activities.

“…A couple of researchers have gained interest in the administration of contracts of road construction projects in Uganda. A study by Aluonzi, Oluka and Nduhura (2016) deduced that there was a positive relationship between contract management and the performance of road construction projects in Uganda. This study looked at contract management in different dimensions paying attention to relationship management, grievance handling, payment mechanisms, communication channels and contract variations.…”

“…Some of the reported highlights included project delays, shoddy works, lack of records and inadequate management of funds. In fact, it was recognised that less than a quarter of road construction projects in Uganda were completed on time (Aluonzi, Oluka and Nduhura, 2016). Much as the study mentioned aspects of Contract Administration, the general objective was to establish a relationship between contract management and the performance of maintenance projects.…”

Uganda's road construction industry has experienced growth over time because of increased budget allocations. Although the industry has dramatically improved, projects are still experiencing challenges, including but not limited to cost overruns, time overruns, incompetent staff, poor designs, site-related challenges, inadequate resources, low innovation and shoddy work. These are the factors affecting the performance of road projects in Uganda. Therefore, as a way to address the mentioned issues and improve the road construction industry, this paper, through the literature review, looked at the concept of construction contract administration and its context on project implementation. A scoping review of the most relevant work in the field of road construction with emphasis on contract administration and the performance of road construction projects in Uganda presented a salient gap in the area of contract administration. The purpose of this study is to review the literature on the impact of contracts administration on road construction projects which is forming the basis of ongoing research to develop a contract administration strategy that will be used on road construction projects with the aim of improving the performance of road construction projects in Uganda.

“…A strong relationship with an open communication system, mutual trust and collaboration in the contract management process improves on organization performance, (Kimundu andMoronge, 2018, Njagi andShalle, 2016). An effective management of contract relations improves the performance of projects, (Aluonzi, Oluka and Nduhura, 2016). This reduces on inefficiency, cost risks and timely deliverables of the intended purpose, the idea being public service delivery.…”

This study determined the effect of procurement contract management on performance of select County Governments in Kenya. The specific objectives of the study were: To determine the effect of contract cycle, contract execution, contract relationship and contract monitoring on performance of select County Governments in Kenya. Descriptive research design was employed to collect data from the respondents. The target population was 564 employees from select County Governments in Kenya. Strata sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 234 employees from the departments, administration, procurement and supply chain management, finance and accounting who represented the entire population under study. A carefully crafted questionnaire was employed to collect data. Collected data was processed and analyzed using inferential and quantitative statistics through the use of SPSS version 22 and with the aid of Microsoft excel. Multiple linear regression model was used to show the relationship between the dependent variable and independent variables. The pilot study reliability result indicated that all Cronbach's Alpha coefficients were above 0.7, implying the research instruments were reliable. The response rate was 85%. The study findings revealed that contract cycle, contract execution, contract relationship and contract monitoring have positive and a statistical significant relationship with procurement performance in selected County Governments in Kenya .The study recommended that the county governments should, harness their skills in contract cycle process through a continuous training, should be clear and precise on what their expectation entails, improve on their communication mechanism and should continuously keep updating their key performance indicators to cater for any dynamics that may be experienced. The study further recommended that studies should be done using different variables such as technology, political and environmental and in other areas such as non-governmental organizations.
