Abstract
The study attempted to investigate the moderating role of supplier collaboration in the relationship between supplier selection (strategic and operational supplier selection) and procurement performance in the Ghanaian Public sector. The study employed quantitative methodology and adopted both descriptive and explanatory research designs. The study population comprised all public procurement departments in the various Ministries, departments, and Agencies. The study found that supplier selection and supplier collaboration positively and significantly affect procurement performance. Also, the results demonstrated that at the mean level, supplier collaboration inversely and significantly moderates the relationship between supplier selection and procurement performance, however, the effect turned out to be positive at low levels of supplier collaboration. Conclusively, the study has yielded significant findings about the complex interplay among supplier collaboration, supplier selection, and procurement performance. The results of this study emphasize the intricate characteristics of these connections, providing insight into the importance of supplier collaboration as a moderating element. The study recommends that companies should consider diversifying their levels of supplier collaboration by embracing a varied approach that is tailored to the unique requirements of certain procurement categories or projects.
