dc.description.abstractThis study delves into the intricate dynamics between the government procurement system and the performance of the Ministry of Health in Osun State, Nigeria. Focusing on procurement policies, procedures, and practices within the Ministry, the study employs a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative analysis of procurement policies with quantitative data collected from 300 employees involved in procurement activities. Through purposive sampling and Yamane's formula, the sample size is determined, and a structured questionnaire is utilized for data collection. Descriptive statistics and inferential methods, including multiple regression analysis, are employed for analysis. The research aims to assess the existing procurement system, identify challenges hindering the Ministry's performance, and explore potential consequences on healthcare outcomes. Three hypotheses are formulated and tested. Hypothesis one revealed a moderate positive impact of the existing government procurement system, its policies, procedures, and regulations on the Ministry of Health's performance (R=0.401, R2=0.161, F(1,293)=56.214, p= 0.000). Hypothesis two revealed a moderate negative relationship between the challenges and inefficiencies within the government procurement system and the Ministry of Health's performance in Osun State (R=-0.483, R2=0.233, F(1,293)=89.029, p= 0.000). Hypothesis three revealed a small significant but positive relationship between procurement related issues and healthcare outcomes, including the quality of care provided and the Ministry of Health's performance in Osun State companies in Nigeria (R=0.240, R2=0.058, F(1,293)=17.942, p= 0.000). Overall, the findings underscore the necessity for reforms in the procurement system to enhance healthcare service delivery. The study concludes that a well- structured and efficient procurement system is crucial for supporting the healthcare sector. Recommendations include reforms, addressing challenges, monitoring procurement-related issues, and building the capacity of healthcare professionals and procurement officials to improve overall performance.
