Abstract

Procurement in public organizations constitute an important activity which involves a colossal amount of money. Public Higher Educational Institutions (PHEIs) in Nigeria procured infrastructures on yearly basis through grants for infrastructures development. The use of public money for this purpose requires that the principles of transparency, openness and accountability are observed. However, compliance with due process in the procurement process by these institutions remain a contentious issue. This study examines the contributions of institution location on the Levels of Compliance (LOC) with Public Procurement Act (PPA) 2007 in the procurement of building projects in all PHEIs in Southwest Nigeria. The objectives are to investigate the LOC with public procurement Act 2007 and the effects of institution location on LOC with the Act. In all, 44 PHEIs comprising 17 Universities, 17 Polytechnics, and 10 Colleges of Education were used for the study. A questionnaire survey approach covering the entire 44 PHEIs in Southwest, Nigeria were adopted for the study. Data collected were analysed using mean and ANOVA. The results revealed that the LOC with only two (2) provisions of PPA 2007 namely; funding of capital projects by PHEIs and procedure of payment for contractors/suppliers that handled capital projects varied according to the location of the institutions. The study therefore concluded that the location of the PHEIs had effect on the level of compliance with the PPA, 2007.
