    Analysis of Value for money in Public procurement in Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA)
    (Makerere University Business School, 2018-08-24) Rubinga, Ronald Robert
    This study sought to analyze the perception of selected stake holders on value for money in procurement conducted in Kampala Capital City Authority. The study was initiated as a result of continuous compromise of value for money as reflected in the three components that is, economy, efficiency and effectiveness. The objectives that guided this study were to examine the level of economy, efficiency and effectiveness of procurement in (KCCA), to establish the challenges facing KCCA in achieving value for money and to identify ways to enhance value for money in KCCA. To achieve this a sample of 110 procurement stakeholders comprising of both technical and political staff in KCCA was used to gather the required evidence. The tool that was used in data collection was the questionnaire. The key findings from the study were that value for money in KCCA was compromised because of many factors, such as the practice of not following procurement procedures as stipulated in the public procurement guidelines, unethical practices of the procurement staff like corruption, their desire to satisfy personal interests without considering public interest. These practices among other resulted in engaging un qualified suppliers who have no history of supplying in public institutions, other results of this has been poor quality services and products, late delivery of goods and services. Basing on the above conclusions recommendations were made among which included putting in place policies of user consultation before the statement of requirements are drawn and establishing and emphasizing a policy of procuring from accredited and competent suppliers. This would help in minimizing the procurement of goods and services of low quality and late delivery of supplies, thus maximizing value for money.

    Examining public private partnerships in solid waste management: A study of A & M executive cleaning services and Kampala capital city authority
    (Makerere University Business School, 2014-06) Aguti, Patricia
    The study sought to evaluate public private partnerships in solid waste management.Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) refer to arrangements for the procurement of goods and services utilizing franchising and similar arrangement with the private sector, the private sector is contracted to provide goods and services on behalf of government (Regan 2005). This study was carried out at A & M Executive cleaning company and Kampala Capital City Authority. Therefore a total of 64 staff made the study population of this study. The sample size of 52 was determined based on Kreijcie and Morgan (1970) table. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect responses and measurements were done, subjected to rigorous data processing and analysis using statistical package for social scientists (SPSS). The results after examining public private partnerships in solid waste management revealed that the private sector is more efficient than the public sector in solid waste management though they both have to be committed to the partnership to successfully handle the challenges meaning that neither the public sector nor the private sector could do it alone successfully. The recommendations were that Policy guidance on public private partnerships should be revised, the government should give tax incentives like tax holidays to private firms that are willing to get involved in public private partnerships, the government should properly oversee PPP projects, the private sector should provide technical support to government organizations, Capacity building of both public and private sector employees involved in PPPs should be provided, and there should be independence of departments handling public private partnerships and a clear decision making process and sensitization of management and other government bodies on the importance of PPPs.
