Abstract
The purpose of this paper study is to provide evidence on whether contract completeness is
a foundation to relationship building among stakeholders in public–private partnership projects
in Uganda. Data were collected by means of a questionnaire survey from a sample of 135 public–
private partnership projects in Uganda. Partial Least squares structural equation modeling was
used to analyze the data. All the Contract completeness dimensions were found to be positively
and significantly associated with relationship building among stakeholders in PPP projects in
Uganda. This implies that contract completeness is a cornerstone to relationship building. Results
imply that when all the relevant issues are included in the contract, contract terms are explicitly
stipulated, unanticipated changes are described and when all the parties involved are restrained
by a binding force of a contract, relationship building will be boosted among stakeholders in PPP
projects. Since little is known on how to build lasting relationships among stakeholders in public–
private partnership projects, this study thus extends a debate on how a complete contract can
build lasting relationships among stakeholders.
