Abstract

Public construction projects in Edo State are frequently challenged by delays, which undermine project objectives, inflate costs and reduce stakeholder satisfaction. The study examines the impact of risk factors associated with procurement process on the time performance of public institutional building projects in Edo State, Nigeria. It identified a generic procurement process; the key risk factors associated with procurement process, the impact of risk factors on time performance, and propose strategies for mitigating risk factors associated with procurement process to improve time performance in selected public institutional building projects. A quantitative survey research design was adopted for the study; primary data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to construction professionals, procurement officers and contractors involved in public institutional projects in Edo State. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis to establish the strength and significance of relationship between risk factors and time performance. Results indicate that preparation of bidding documents and evaluation criteria were the most important procurement process and the most frequently occurring risks are fraud and corruption. Furthermore, the results reveal that there is a significant high relationship between risk factors associated with procurement process and time performance and comprehensive procurement planning and early risk assessment was identified as the most effective mitigating strategies. The findings underscore the need for streamlined procurement procedures, enhanced capacity building for procurement professionals and the adoption of transparent and efficient contractor prequalification systems. The study concludes that mitigating procurement risk factors is essential to improve the timely delivery of public institutional building projects in Edo State and recommends that there should be policy reforms and the implementation of best practices in public sector procurement to strength project time performance and enhances value for public investment.
