Notwithstanding this importance, very little research has been done to scrutinize the magnitude to which efforts in procurement planning can contribute to effective local governance. Local government authorities, being among the public service institutions, have the responsibility to ensure that procurement planning achieves what it intends for national development programmes and specifically, the procurement activities. It is therefore important for the public organizations to approach the procurement planning as critical success factor for the organizational success and for the value for money in the whole procurement process. The aim of this research was to assess the effect of procurement planning on service delivery within the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly. In order to achieve the aim and objectives of this study, the purposive sampling technique was used. In all questionnaires were administered to 62 workers at the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly.
