Abstract
The study was conducted to examine the relationship between organizational factors, ICT infrastructure and implementation of e-procurement projects in West Nile local governments. The study sought to determine the extent e-procurement projects implementation is attributed to organizational factors and ICT infrastructure. The study used a cross sectional survey design where 144 usable questionnaires were used to collect the data and was analyzed using SPSS version 25. Pearson correlation and regression analysis were used to determine the degree of relationship between organizational factors, ICT infrastructure and implementation of e-procurement projects in West Nile local governments. Findings of the study revealed a significant positive relationship between organizational factors, ICT infrastructure and implementation of e-procurement projects. The regression analysis results show that organizational factors and ICT infrastructure predicts 47.4% of the observed variance in e-procurement project implementation. This implies that there are other predictors of e procurement implementation besides organizational factors and ICT infrastructure; thus, further research is called for to find the other predictors of e-procurement project implementation in addition to what is already in place. The researcher recommends that to successfully implement e-procurement projects, top management support should be sought and there should be deliberate effort to provide users with IT knowledge and skills through training. Similarly, local government leaders should pay attention to ICT infrastructure by ensuring there is enough hardware and software facilities to support e-procurement in the organization.
