dc.description.abstractThe study sought to establish the relationship between supplier competences, buyer-supplier relationships and supplier performance in PDEs in western Uganda. The study adopted across sectional and correlation quantitative design using a sample size 39PDEs in western Uganda using where employees in the Procuring and Disposing Entity such as Accounting Officers, members of Contracts committee, Procurement and Disposal Unit, Evaluation Committee members and User Department Members where three Employees per PDE were selected as unit of inquiry. The data were tested for reliability and validity, analyzed using SPSS version 21 and results presented based on the study objectives. The correlation coefficient analysis revealed positive and significant relationships between supplier competences and supplier performance in PDEs, buyer-supplier relationships and supplier performance in PDEs in western Uganda which implies that when one variable is improved it leads to improvement of the other. Furthermore, the multiple regression analysis indicates that supplier competences combined with buyer-supplier relationship have a greater influence on the supplier performance in PDEs (Adj R2 of 0.481). However, it was further revealed that supplier competence has a more direct effect on the supplier performance in PDEs.
