objective, the findings revealed that e-tendering had a positive relationship to
procurement performance at at a P-value=0.000 (P<0.05). Results regarding the
second objective revealed a strong and positive relationship between e-sourcing and
procurement performance with P-value=0.001 (P<0.05). For the third objective, the
results observed thate-informing has positive influence to procurement performance
