According to Table 4.12, there was a moderate positive
relationship between viable communication between bidders, Procuring Entity and
the effectiveness of public tendering at Kabaya District Hospital (r=.779, p of
0.019 which is less than 0.05). This means that a viable communication between
bidders and Procuring Entity will improve the effectiveness of public tendering
at Kabaya District Hospital.
The findings complement the previous study of Behnam Bahreman
(2010) that e-procurement is a rapid efficient method of finding and connecting
new sources, being a lean channel for communication. A lot of time is spending
on paper invoicing in terms of writing, filing and postal communication but
while in e-procurement, staff have sufficient time to engage on strategic
issues of procurement The time wasted in moving from one town or country to
another to look for a potential supplier or buyer is greatly reduced since with
a click of a button, you can readily get the information in the internet.

Table 4.13 displays the coefficient of determination, which
was calculated using the model summary and revealed how well changes in the
independent variable explained variations in the dependent variable. The
independent variable (viable communication between bidders and Procuring
Entity) according to R Square has a 71.4 percent has effect on effectiveness of
public tendering at Kabaya District Hospital. The coefficient of correlation of
0.779 indicates a moderately positive correspondence between the independent
and dependent variables. H1c: Viable communication between
bidders and Procuring Entity has significant effect on effectiveness of public
tendering at Kabaya District Hospital.
The findings are complementary to those made previously byEgbu
(2007) stated that it also enables clients to gauge the state of the market by
seeing how much interest is shown in the tender. For the purposes of this study
these three benefits have been combined and considered under the broad category
of improving communication.

Table 4.14 demonstrates that the overall model was
significant. A value of 2.317 for the estimated F statistic indicated that the
entire model was significant (p value 0.029). Estimated F statistics were
greater than the critical F statistic. The findings indicated that viable
communication between bidders and Procuring Entity is a predictor of the
effectiveness of public tendering at Kabaya District Hospital, thereby
supporting the study's alternative hypothesis.
The findings are in complement with Juliette (2013) that
e-procurement is on the rise and it is said to be one of the most efficient
ways to conduct business. This is evidenced by studies showing that
organizations are spending as much as 50 to 60% of total revenue on
e-procurement activities. E-procurement is generating great excitement because
of its potential to reduce-procurement costs and improve strategic sourcing.
