Abstract
The main objective of our research on procurement procedures applicability in public Institutions
case of the National University of Rwanda was to analyze the public procurement system within the
aforesaid University by highlighting management of the public funds, characterized by
accountability, transparency, equity and economy. We resort to various techniques and methods
of research such as the questionnaire, the interviews, documentation and analysis of the files. On
the basis of procurement regulation and manual in force, we tried to check the level of
application of these tools by the concerned university. We insisted on the respect of times for
various operations which intervene throughout procurement process, the choice of procurement
method to be used and procurement record keeping. The results of our research revealed some
weaknesses and we used them to direct our recommendations in order to streamline the public
procurement system. These recommendations concem public institutions, national university of
Rwanda and its intemal tender commission, the RPPA the govemment as well as the private
sector.We would like to extend our research on the other official institutions and to the
decentralized entities. This will enable us to see how laws, rules and other guides related to the
public procurement are applied, in order to suggest appropriate measures. Other important point
shall be related to bid evaluation because the methods and criteria used in evaluating bids are
not the same in all procurement services.
