| dc.description.abstract | This research studied an analysis of the tender process in the government of Namibia. The findings of the study revealed that ethics, awareness and training influence the compliance of procurement regulations in government. The study acknowledges the importance of ethics, awareness and training in compliance to procurement procedures and regulations. However, a lot needs to be done to improve ethical conduct, knowledge of employees on procurement regulations and training because failure to comply with the regulations tendering committees and suppliers can lead to major losses of government funds. The study used guided interviews approaches to gather data. Interviews with ministerial tender committees’ chairpersons were carried out to collect information on the process of tendering used in the respective ministry. The study also recommends the following; it is important to offer ethics education to tendering committee members in order to ensure they serve in ultimate objectivity, accountability, and non discrimination. The government should organize both in-service and external training sessions for procurement staff and the members of the ministerial tender committee, especially those officer bearers who were involved in procurement procedures. Accounting officers (Permanent Secretaries) should, whilst setting standards and assigning responsibilities, promote the development of a tendering process management system that conforms to all regulations or directives as might be applicable. | en_US |
