Abstract

The study was aimed at assessing the factors that hinder the adoption of E-Procurement systems in the Public Sector organisations in Malawi. The study adopted a survey method. The study has established that poor supplier readiness, lack of end user training, bureaucracy in the public sector, failure by the ODPP to provide a suitable environment for the adoption of e-Procurement, users’ lack of knowledge the benefits of the system, resistance to change by procurers system incompatibility, lack of staff motivation, low or lack of data security and lack of proper legal framework affect the adoption of E-Procurement. It is recommended that Public Sector organizations should be staffed with well-qualified IT professionals. The Government should encourage innovations at the ODPP and that this Directorate should initiate studies that will foster the establishment of E-Procurement Portal.
