      abstract = {The successful implementation of construction projects is usually predicated on the procurement systems adopted. This study aims to assess Sustainable Procurement Practices in the Cross River State using an Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) Approach. 100 copies of Questionnaires surveys were carried out using a close-ended questionnaire. The questionnaires were administered to experts and professionals in the engineering management field who were carefully selected. A study shows a response rate of 50.1%.  A survey design approach was used in this study. A purposive sampling technique was adopted to select one hundred construction professionals. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) and MICMAC approaches were also adopted for the analysis. The study to assessed the practices of sustainable construction procurement in the study area, evaluated the key factors influencing the practices, and explore strategies for improvement. In the ISM approach, Reduction in the disruption of civic activities, Security and the promotion of ethical practices, and pollution hampers the success of sustainable procurement were found to be leading factors influencing sustainable procurement practices in the Cross River State. The result shows that factors such as Reduction in the disruption of civic activities will provide an allowance for the seamless transportation of construction materials to site, thereby promoting timely construction activities, security and the promotion of ethical practices, and pollution hampers the success of sustainable procurement, as it poses obstructions to transportation, communication and health. These factors ranked higher compared to other factors, hence having a greater influence in sustainable procumbent practices. Hence, to Foster collaboration and innovation: Collaboration and innovation are key to driving sustainable procurement practices. Organizations should foster collaboration with suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders to identify new and innovative solutions to sustainability challenges.},
