Abstract

The study was conducted to find the effect of procurement unit (PU) on the performance of institutions that are under the government’s ministries. The study concluded that the constructional sectors that had PU offered more capable services by a relative important index (RII) proportion of 85%. The practical part of the study was done through a questionnaire that was distributed among 10 professional managers, who had actual experience in the process of constructional duties. The study was conducted on the percentage of each category factor that affected the PU. The theoretical part proved that a lack of management was the most sensitive factor with a frequency proportion of 11.6%.
