ABSTRACT
The study intended to establish the relationship between Procurement contracts and compliance
with procurement procedures among manufacturing industries in Uganda, a case of steel rolling
mills in Jinja Municipality, Uganda This study was guided by three objectives; (i) To
determine the extent of Procurement contracts. (ii) To determine the level of compliance with
procurement procedures (iii) To establish whether there is a significant relationship
Procurement contracts and compliance with procurement procedures among manufacturing
industries in Uganda, a case of steel rolling mills in Jinja Municipality, Uganda. A descriptive
conelational, cross-sectional and expost-facto design were used. Data analysis was done using
frequencies, percentages, means, and Pearson linear conelation coefficiency (PLCC). A
descriptive correlational, cross-sectional design was used. Data analysis was done using
frequencies, percentages, means, and Pearson linear correlation co-efficiency. Data collection
was mainly through questionnaires, interviews and document analysis. All aspects of
Procurement contracts were found to be good for example assigning ownership contracts
(mean=2.98), designing the structure of contracts (mean=2.90), reviewing contracts
(mean=2.90), signing and filing of contracts (mean=2.87), ensuring records retention of
contracts (mean=2.94) executing the contracts and ensuring support for the contracts
(mean=2.92), and overall (mean=2.91). All aspects of compliance with procurement procedures
among manufacturing industries were found to be good for example, compliance to regulatory
requirements (mean=2.94), screening for product changes (mean=2.97), model changes
(mean=3.07), product updates (mean=3.01), inspection and acceptance (mean=3.10),
performance management (mean=2.87), accountability and value for money (mean=2.98) and
overall (mean=2.98). results show that compliance with procurement procedures was
significantly correlated with assigning ownership contracts (r=0.571, at sig=O. 000), Designing
the structure of contracts (r=O. 491 at Sig=O. 000), reviewing contracts (r= 0.481, at Sig=O.
000), signing and filing of contracts (r=O .. 577, at Sig=O. 000), ensuring records retention of
contracts (r= 0 .. 578, at Sig=O. 000), executing the contracts and ensuring support for the
contracts (r= 0 . .498, at Sig=O. 000). It was recommended that; there is need top provide
appropriate training and documentation; develop strategy, policy, procedures and systems;
negotiate corporate purchasing agreements; review preferred vendors for performance, offer
assistance with any purchase; offer high level discussions with suppliers regarding compliance
with procurement procedures the following were suggested; furnishing essential facts in the
event of a dispute ; supplier responses must also be submitted in writing with quoted prices,
terms and conditions clearly documented in the response among others.
