- Abstract
- The primary focus of this study is to examine how public procurement procedures affect operational efficiency in Zimbabwe's public sector, with the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency serving as a case study. A qualitative survey approach was employed, and judgmental sampling was used to select a random sample of 35 employees from a population of 58 while adhering to ethical considerations. The study revealed that most respondents are familiar with the Act, as observed from their interviews, participation in questionnaires, and engagement with the Procurement Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe website, which offers freshly updated information. Qualitative data was analyzed through Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The study's findings highlight that sustainable procurement practices significantly impact profitability positively. The research aimed to explore the effects of critical components, such as adherence to the PPDPA Act, procurement planning, and documentation, on procurement procedures in Zimbabwe's public sector. Therefore, it is also recommended that future researchers look into the e-procurement environment.
