Abstract

The traditional procurement methods have been used in the award of public contract in Nigeria. This method has been criticized for its non-performance in project execution and delivery. To avoid the adverse effects of this contract procurement methods, the Due Process mechanism was introduced by the Federal government in 2001. This study investigated the effectiveness of Due Process on contract awards by the Local Government Areas in Ogun State with the view of evaluating its effect on the development of rural infrastructures in the areas under investigation. The survey was carried out by administering structured questionnaires to professionals involved in contract award, supervision and certification in the selected Local Government Areas of Ogun State. The professionals considered for the administration of questionaires are Engineers, Builders, Quantity Surveyors,and Accountants who functions as Client's representatives, Consultant’s, Contractors and Contractor’s representatives. The data collected were analyzed with the use of Relative Importance Index (RII). The study reveals that the core objectives of the Due Process - Economy and Efficiency, Competition, Value for money and Transparency have been achieved to a great extent. Conclusively it can be stated that the Due Process policy, from evaluation and analysis, has laid necessary foundation for producing beneficial change in the process of awarding contract in Local Government Areas of Ogun State. Consequently, it has enhanced the strategies for sustainable funding of rural engineering infrastructures in the areas considered in this study.
