Abstract

Public Procurement Act, (PPA) 2007 is the regulatory framework for all procurement made by government entities and functionaries in Nigeria. This study investigates the levels of compliance (LOC) with the Act by Public Tertiary Institutions (PTIs) in Southwest, Nigeria. The objectives are to evaluate and compare the LOC with the Act in PTIs and Tertiary Educational Trust Funds (TETFUND) sponsored projects. A questionnaire survey approach covering the entire 44 PTIs in Southwest, Nigeria was adopted. Data collected were subjected to descriptive statistics and t-test. The result reveals that the institutions did not comply with one provision of the Act while they recorded same levels of compliance in one other provision, however the LOC was generally low averaging 57%, and 55% for projects funded directly by PTIs and those funded by TETFUND respectively (P< 0.05). None of the institutions complied with the Provision of the Act that commanded unrestricted access to unclassified procurement records by the public. The result of test of research hypothesis revealed that the difference in the compliance levels by the two categories of sponsors differ significantly only in eight provisions of the Act. It is therefore concluded that PTIs did not perform to the expectation of the dictate of the provisions of the Act. The study therefore recommended an improved compliance generally in all the provisions particularly in areas where extreme low compliance was recorded by the PTIs.
