Journal Title: International Journal of Civil Engineering and Technology - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
Timely delivery of construction projects is a very vital issue that cannot be overlooked if the goals of the projects are to be achieved and for the projects to be completed to client’s requirements at reasonable cost. This study investigates the relationship between time overrun and project delivery in projects procured in compliance with Public Procurement Act, (PPA) 2007 among Public Tertiary Institutions (PTIs) in Southwest, Nigeria. The objectives of the study are to determine the level of compliance with PPA, 2007 among PTIs in Southwest Nigeria, the extent of time overrun in projects they procured and the relationship between time overrun and compliance with PPA, 2007. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data from Procurement Officers representing the 44 PTIs in southwest, Nigeria. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics for the level of compliance with the act and the extent of time overrun. Pearson product moment correlation was used to express the relationship between the level of compliance with the Act and project time overrun. The study concluded that the level of compliance with the Act is low and that there were time overruns in projects procured by PTIs, but that the level of compliance with the Act does not contribute to delay among the Institutions. The study recommended additional efforts by the regulatory authorities monitoring and over sighting the implementation and compliance with the Act so as to ensure the achievement of the goal of the procurement Act as well as successful project delivery in the Institutions
