Abstract
This study was initiated with the purpose to establish the role of procurement process
administration on project success in Juba construction company Bosaso Somalia. The institution
had had a spell of low project success levels where effectiveness, quality and efficiency had
become an issue. The research was guided by three objectives including; to establish the factors
influencing procurement administration practices in Juba Constrnction Company, to establish the
factors contributing to project success and procurement administration in Juba Constrnction
Company and to establish the relationship between procurement administration practices and
project success in Somalia. The researcher adopted descriptive cmrelational and cross-sectional
study designs which involved both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Using this method,
the researcher used a structured questionnaire ( close ended) and an interview guide (for
qualitative responses). A research population of 320 was identified and a san1ple size of 178
respondents was computed using the Slovene' s fmmula. In selecting the respondents the
researcher used simple random, pmposive and convenience sampling techniques. From the
findings it was found that procurement process was ineffective. On the other hand, project
success was found to be very low. Analysis of relationships suggested that there was a significant
relationship between procurement process and project success of the entities and it was
computed at a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.734. Regression analysis computed the R
Squared was to be at 0.535. As a probable solution, the researcher suggested sound procurement
process environment, competent procurement planning staff, good procurement policies on
clients and clients' involvement in designing procurement policies. The study concluded that
invitation of a limited number of bidders also increases the chance for lasting relationships and a
continuous workload over time for the selected contractors, which facilitate improved im10vation
and the development of knowledge about the clients and their demands, which is important for
client satisfaction and influencing project success in the organization. Recommendations were
made and required that in order to design an effective procurement process system need to
establish a suitable procurement environment.
