A mixed research design comprising of qualitative, quantitative and explanatory design research approaches were adopted for the study. A population of 200 staffs of five (5) public organizations namely Nasarawa State Universal Basic Education Board (NSUBEB), Nasarawa State Water Board (NSWB), Nasarawa State Ministry of Works, Housing and Transport (NAMWHT), Nasarawa State Electricity Power Authority (NAEPA) and Nasarawa State Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency (NARUWASSA). A sample size of 133 was adopted for the study, while structured questionnaire was utilized as instrument for primary data collection. The collected data were analysed using inferential statistics such as Spearmann correlation. The study found that Procurement Competitive Bidding are significant determinants of service delivery thus a unit change in bidding method will result in 62.3% change in service delivery. The study found a number of elements that have influenced public procurement implementation and compliance, both favourably and unfavourably, including competitive bidding, transparent bidder assessment, and safeguard considerations. If a successful implementation and compliance with the Nasarawa State Public Procurement Domestication Act are to be achieved, some of the recommendations made by this work include the necessity of separating the procurement decisions from political interference and the establishment of an independent body, the State Council on Public Procurement, to enable it to carry out its legitimate duties/roles against the current trend, where the government and other governmental bodies performing this role. The results of this study will give an empirical foundation for decisions regarding the sustainability of the procurement domestication act in Nasarawa State. Their experience may also be relevant to other states in the federation and offer helpful hints to the nation as a whole.
