The findings were coded from the questionnaires and presented using frequencies, tables, graphs and percentages. The findings of the study showed that outsourcing policy in KCC was not properly done mainly because of lack of competent and skilled staff, contract management policies have also been poorly implemented because of bureaucratic procedures used in awarding tenders.
