“…Despite the anticipated benefits of the eprocurement system, studies have revealed some probable challenges are likely to be faced during its full implementation [26]. Hashim et al [42] noted that, the challenges to e-procurement inhibit the use of this platform and thus yield negative outcomes. Eadie et al [43] added that, these challenges should be eliminated since they prevent the smooth implementation of the eprocurement system.…”

Aims:The study investigated the critical success factors for adopting an e-procurement in public sector procurement activities in Ghana. Study Design: The study used descriptive survey design. Place and Duration of Study:The study was carried out among some selected public sector organisations in Ghana from October 2019-January 2020. Methodology: A total sample size of 215 procurement staff from public entities including: Department of Feeder Roads, Ghana Cocoa Board, Ghana Health Service, Koforidua Technical University and Tema Metropolitan Assembly. The data collection instruments were interview guide and questionnaires. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used as the analytical tools. Specifically, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used. Results: The study found that users and stakeholders of the e-procurement perceive the availability of reliable, affordable and fast Internet services as the most critical success factor for the adoption of e-Procurement technologies. Furthermore, the study discovered that the critical success factors (CSFs) for e-procurement adoption can be categorized into organisational support for infrastructure set-up, system features, Monitoring and control and supportive human factors. Conclusion:For e-Procurement technologies to adequately permeate the fabrics of the Ghanaian public procurement system, the government and stakeholders should put in place mechanisms that can help measure the metrics of physical ICT infrastructure provision; attract adequate internet infrastructure into the country and provide the necessary ICT infrastructure and leadership role in using e-Procurement technologies in their public procurement process.

“…The challenges faced during implementation often cause failures to meet the stated organizational objectives. This may be attributed to the highly fragmented ICT usage within the sector [33] and slowness in adopting ICT innovations due to the high capital investment involved [19,20]. Likewise, Rankin et al [24] advocate that the AEC organizations inherited the following challenges: "fragmentation, highly pragmatic, cost conscious, little institutional leadership, and no standards in technology and business models."…”

“…Notwithstanding the significant value of e-procurement to business practices, low adoption of e-procurement has been reported by various research across different industries (e.g., Au et al [16] in hospitality; Mettler and Rohner [10] in healthcare; Toktaş-Palut et al [1] in retail business; and Vitrauskaite and Gatautis [17] in construction). It is also worthwhile noting that little headway has been made in research pertaining to architecture engineering and construction (AEC) firms, which has led to the limited development of research frameworks to uncover the critical success factors (CSFs) responsible for e-procurement implementation [18,19]. Recent studies in the construction industry of developing countries by Altayyar and Beaumont-Kerridgea [20] in Saudi Arabia, Aduwo et al [21] and Afolabi et al [22] in Nigeria, and Ibem and Laryea [23] in South Africa further echoed the limited use of e-procurement practices.…”

Electronic purchasing or e-procurement saves millions of dollars yearly in transaction costs. E-procurement helps to cut down the supplier base, promotes paperless transactions, and increases transparency and accountability in the procurement process. Nonetheless, studies report that around 80% of e-procurement initiatives have met with failure and failed to achieve the desired results. Although studies to better understand the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) of e-procurement implementation involving various industries have been on the rise, little is known about architecture engineering and construction (AEC) practices, which has led to limited development of pragmatic frameworks to uncover the factors. Thus, this study aims to identify those CSFs (predicting variables) which significantly contribute to e-procurement implementation success in the construction sector and to put forward for better implementation. Results from multiple regression analysis revealed five factors to be statistically significant predictors of success. Three factors were determined to be predictors of user satisfaction. Finally, internet online procurement frameworks were developed for the success of e-procurement implementation in the construction sector.

“…This has resulted in the increasing adoption of web-based technologies and transaction processes in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. The benefits of web-based technologies in construction supply chain management have been identified to include increase in process quality and flexibility, reduction in procurement cost and time, increase user satisfaction, improved customer service and managerial effectiveness; reduction in errors, fraud and corruption as well as promoting faster response time [5], [6]- [10].…”

e-Procurement adoption in the Nigerian building industry: Architects’ perspective

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

e-Procurement adoption by architects in the Nigerian building industry was investigated using data derived via a questionnaire survey of 75 architects in consulting and contracting firms, government and clients' organizations. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson product-moment correlation and content analyses, and the results reveal that most of the organizations employing architects were not using e-Procurement. However, the very few adopters identified used e-mails and websites in communicating, exchanging project information, and sourcing for building services, materials and equipment. The key barriers to the uptake of e-Procurement among architects in the survey were unreliable power supply, low level of awareness among people; and the lack of forum to exchange ideas on e-Procurement use. The paper emphasized the need to address these challenges to ensure a critical mass uptake of e-Procurement by architects in Nigeria.
