Abstract: The main objective of this study was to determine factors affecting implementation of public procurement and asset disposal act 2015 in Kenya. Regulated public procurement plays a very vital role to the economy of Kenya. However, a report by Rapid Response Initiative established that though most of the public procurement reforms have been achieved and procurement policies and institutions are in place, the level of implementation of such policies by the state corporations is still low. This study therefore sought to determine the effect of procurement funding, procurement staff competence, procurement leadership and enforcement on the implementation of public procurement regulations in Kenya.. The study adopted descriptive research design. The target population is Kenya Ferry services Limited with a workforce of 320 employees. The study adopted stratified random sampling in selecting only participants that were directly involved in the implementation of public procurement regulations in Kenya Ferry services Limited. The population was sub divided into clusters to help in selecting sample size that is representative of the population. A total of (5) employee from procurement department of Kenya Ferry services Limited was therefore incorporated as the sample. The study adopted a descriptive research design in order to provide a framework to examine current conditions, trends and status of events. Data was collected and analysed with the help of a social science statistical package (SPSS 024). The study found out that 18.7% of the variations in the dependent variable (implementation of public procurement regulations) were explained by the independent variable (procurement funding, procurement staff competence, procurement leadership, procurement regulations) as measured by the goodness of fit (R-square). ANOVA test showed that the p value (0.000) is less than α (0.05) thus indicating that the result is significant. The study found out that there was a significant relationship between procurement funding, procurement leadership, and procurement regulations. However, there was no significant relationship between implementation of public procurement regulations and procurement staff competence.
Keywords: Procurement Funding, Procurement Staff Competency, Procurement Leadership and Procurement Regulation.
