Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to develop a comprehensive
framework of achieving supplier delivery performance based on contract
governance mechanisms, justice perceptions and ethical behavior using
cross sectional survey data from public procuring and disposing entities
(PDEs) in Uganda. Public procurement contract governance covers the
design, development, implementation and enforcement of contracts. It
serves to align interests of the contracting parties, reduce opportunistic
behavior, lower transaction costs, promote justice perceptions, improve
ethical behavior and achieve value for money procurement. Poorly managed
procurement contracts result in conflicts, yet in many developing countries
only rich suppliers can afford to resolve disputes through courts. For other
suppliers, justice is out of reach. While it has been assumed that contracts
result in good performance, little research has been carried out to
corroborate this assumption. In this paper we provide theoretical, empirical
and policy implications of supplier delivery performance.
