having a significant positive (0.436) relationship with procurement performance at 5% level of
significance (2-talied test). Thus the higher the chances of pre qualification, the higher the level
of procurement performance. The findings also revealed that tendering has a great influence on
the procurement performance of public institutions especially Mukwano Group of Companies.
Tendering was found to be having highly significant positive (0.599) relationship with
Procurement performance at I% level of significance (2-talied test non directional). Thus,
tendering leads to higher the level of procurement performance. The findings further revealed
