Abstract
The purpose of this study was to test the null hypothesis of no
significant difference on the existing procurement and supply
management system and the proposed E-PSMS for KIU and to
validate the proposed E-PSMS for Kampala International University.
The general objective of this study was to design, develop and
implement the proposed E-Procurement and Supply Management
System (PEPSMS) at KIU. The specific objectives were to: (i)
determine the demographic characteristics of respondents in regard to:
age, gender, level of education, department of service, number of
years working with KIU and ICT knowledge. (ii) Examine appraisal
level of the Existing Procurement and Supply Management SYSTEM
(EPSMS) by users in regard to customer satisfaction, business process,
learn and growth plus finance. (iii) design, develop and implement a
PEPSMS for KIU. (iv) determine assessment level by the "users" of the
proposed PEPSMS after implementation. (v) establish whether there is
a significant difference in the level of assessment between the EPSMS
and the PEPSMS. Quasi-experimental design (assessment of the
EPSMS) - post test design (after the implementation of the PEPSMS)
was used on a total sample of 29 respondents and t-sample test was
used to test the null hypothesis. Findings show that, the Level of
assessment of the existing procurement and Supply Management
System (EPSMS) by the respondents was fair in terms of customer
satisfaction, business process, finance, learn and growth. Further more
there was a significant difference in level of assessment of the EPSMS
and the PEPSMS before and after implementation. However, the
researcher recommends that KIU provides opportunities to its staff
members who had low ICT knowledge to go for further training as
revealed by the study; and full support by management of KIU should
be accorded to the PEPSMS because without it, sustainability of the
system will not be realized.
