Abstract

Procurement is one of the major events of the Government which is highly interconnected to the quality of public service delivery. It captures a significant amount of the budget allocation making it an interesting topic for a lot of critics including researchers. This review paper was conducted to identify and categorize the procurement challenges encountered by the implementing units in the Local Government of the Philippines. It also aimed to explore the relationship between these challenges and the unnecessary delays in the program and project implementation. Such unnecessary delays in the purchase of goods and services including infrastructure project implementation are inimical to public service delivery, hence, this article premised a well-informed conclusion and recommendation for the existing phenomena under review. A systematic review of related literature and content analysis was conducted to encapsulate the recurring themes resulting in procurement delays. Results showed that the legal framework, human resources, methods of procurement, and the procurement process itself are among the repetitive issues causing procurement challenges and delays.
