dc.description.abstractSound public procurement policies and practices are among the essential elements of good governance. Good practices reduce costs and produce timely results; poor practices lead to waste and delays and are often the cause for allegations of corruption and government inefficiency. Nearly a decade after the introduction of Public Procurement Act, there still exist some Quality problems. The study therefore sought to assess the casual relationship between procurement quality problems and specifications in public procurement in Ghana. The objectives are to establish the problems faced by Public Procurement Authority’s (PPA) in the utilization of specifications in the procurement process, to identify the procurement quality problems in public procurement planning in Ghana and to model the impact of specifications on procurement quality problems. Using a purposive sampling approach, questionnaires were given to professionals. The analyses used was the mean score ranking, one sample t-test and relative importance index The results show that, respondents found two major factors that does not serve as a problem to the utilization of specification as these factors failed under the one sample t test. These factors were; selection criteria for consultants and the standard details and specification to minimize workload. Also, delaying completion of project, lack of satisfaction by the end user, failure of constructed project was the impact of specification on quality problems. The research therefore recommends that, several aspects of quality problems and specification can be looked at in case there is to be a research on relationship between quality problems and the use of specification in Public Procurement. It is also advised that the research can be done on a larger scale considering other professionals in procurement.en_US
