Abstract

The main objective of the study was to determine the level of effectiveness of the procurement system in relation to the delivery of services. Specifically, it aimed to identify the following: (1) profile of the respondents; (2) level of effectiveness of the procurement system in terms of leadership, procurement strategy, procurement processes and policies, human resource management, procurement information technology, procurement performance management and organization’s economic performance, customer focus and supplier relationship management; (3) difference in the assessment of the respondents in the effectiveness of the system when they are grouped into profile; (4) and problems encountered by the respondents on the procurement system of the organization. Results showed that the procurement system is effective except in terms of customer focus and supplier relationship management. There was no significant difference in the assessment of the respondents on the effectiveness of the procurement system when grouped according to profile except in terms of role in the procurement process in the organization. The respondents agreed that the number one problem was slow processing of document/request, second was non-stocking of common supplies, and third was non-monitoring of inventory/stocks. The following are recommended: Root cause analysis should be done to resolve the slow processing of documents/ requests. Supply Office should practice stocking of common use supplies and regular monitoring of inventory of stocks, as well as advance and proper planning of the procurement of goods and services. This study is beneficial to SLSU as a whole where the best practices and recommendations were noted. The output of this study is primarily intended to improve the delivery of service of procurement and supply office as well as to improve the existing procurement system to achieve faster delivery of service through the implementation of recommendations stated here.
