According to Correlation Table 4.4, electronically submission
bids strongly correlates with the effectiveness of public tendering at Kabaya
District Hospital (r=.839 with a p value of 0.044, which is less than 0.05).
This indicates that the relationship between electronically submission bids and
the effectiveness of public tendering at Kabaya District Hospital is
significant, implying that having electronically submission bids has the
potential to increase the effectiveness of public tendering at Kabaya District
Hospital.
The study in supporting with Flynn et al. (2010) Moreover,
companies using e-procurement system reported that they achieve saving up to
42% in purchasing transaction cost as a result of less paperwork, which enabled
transaction processes to be less prone to errors, leading to more efficient
purchasing.

The model summary was used to present the coefficient of
determination, which explained how well changes in the independent variable
explained variations in the dependent variable. The independent variable
(Electronically submission of bids) has effect of 80.2% on effectiveness of
public tendering at Kabaya District Hospital as represented by R Square.
The coefficient of correlation value of 0.839 indicates that
there was a positive strong correlation between independent and dependent
variable. The findings support prior findings Berger & Zeng (2006) Any
good e-procurement software system today is designed to greatly reduce effort
and time required to complete purchasing transactions by eliminating
traditional paper chain of payment reconciliation, approvals, requisitions and
receiving. The key features of e procurement approaches enables users to find
an item in an electronic catalog, create a requisition, route the order
requisition for approval, create and transmit the order to vendors, and also
help to automate the invoicing and payment process.

The findings in the table 4.6 indicate that the overall model
was significant. The overall model was significant as shown by a calculated F
statistic of 19.042 (p value 0.044). The calculated F statistics was large than
the critical F statistic. The findings indicated that the variable
electronically submission of bids are good predictor of effectiveness of public
tendering at Kabaya District Hospital, hereby the alternative hypothesis of the
study: H1a: Electronically submission of bids has effect on
effectiveness of public tendering at Kabaya District Hospital was confirmed.
The findings support by Eadie et al. (2007) argues that
e-procurement allows sections of electronic documentation to flow through the
supply chain; it improves the speed of returns and subcontractor price
visibility. He further notes that since it is easier to communicate
requirements in a quicker more accessible manner, it will result in a better
understanding of requirements and due compliance besides allowing clients to
gauge the state of the market by seeing how much interest is shown in the
tender.
