frequencies and correlations analyses. The study found out that project
procurement processes had a significant relationship with project performance. The

project cost, quality and schedule performance and project managers who need to
achieve desired levels of project cost, quality and schedule performance need to
ensure that project procurement planning, supplier solicitation and selection
processes, and contract management during project management need to be
harnessed.
The study recommended that international NGOs should always ensure that
there is effective and adequate project procurement planning and implementation
strategies, supplier solicitation and selection processes, and contract management
to achieve the desired project costs, quality and schedule requirements. The study
suggested other studies that need to be conducted to identify the effect to which
