Abstract
Framework agreement type of procurement has become very important in developed as
well as developing countries. Few researches have been conducted to review factors
affecting framework agreement procurement efficiency in public procurement and
property disposal service of Ethiopia. Therefore, this research aims to examine factors
affecting framework agreement procurement efficiency: the case of public procurement
and property disposal service of Ethiopia. The researcher identified three factors that
affect framework agreement procurement efficiency. These includes: criteria for supplier
selection, Terms and conditions of framework agreement, and external factors. The
hypothesis of the study was factors of framework agreement (independent variables) and
their impact on framework agreement efficiency (dependent variable) of PPPDS. The
research design used was based on both descriptive and explanatory research
approaches. The researcher distributed 86 questionnaires and 81were filled and
returned. Both primary and secondary data were used throughout this research. For
primary data, both structured and semi structured type questionnaires were prepared.
The results of this study indicate that the independent variables (criteria for supplier
selection, Terms and conditions of framework agreement) positively affect the dependent
variable (framework agreement efficiency) but challenges in FA implementation
negatively affect FA efficiency to a significant extent. These factors contribute 74.7% of
FA efficiency, while the rest 25.3% is explained by other factors, which are not subject of
this study. Therefore, with this study finding, PPPDS is advised to emphasize more on
challenges that hinder FA efficiency and should be able to create efficient and responsive
procurement system. It is critical to know the common items that need to be included in to
the FA and particularly consider price fluctuations while going through the tender
process to attract suppliers for FA.
