Abstract: This paper proposes a conceptual model for the effective and efficient implementation of the public procurement Act of Ghana. The paper was inspired by the incessant and constant violations of the Public Procurement Act even after its amendment after decade of the enactment of the law. This has largely been attributed to the lack of a model to operationalize its effective and efficient implementation. The study was descriptive in nature and leveraged largely on reviews of theories and extensive literature of secularly works, reports, documents and records, to develop a framework which identified six (6) critical variables Political Interference, Media Publicity, Professionalism, Organizational Culture, Familiarity with Rules and Regulations and Effective Monitoring as Compliance/Non Compliance variables categorized as explanatory variables. The paper further developed three (3) predictor variables: Value for Money, Fairness and Transparency. Also the paper premised some hypotheses as grounds to enable future studies to test through impact assessment or analysis on the predictor variables. This model also confluences the six (6) most critical compliance/noncompliance into a single framework moderated by motivation; thus affording future researchers to measure pre and post introduction of the moderating variable and its impact on effective and efficient public procurement delivery.
