This study examines the effect of the new procurement act on government purchases, with a specific focus on the Kwara State Ministry of Health. The research aims to evaluate the impact of the Act on procurement practices, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and the overall quality of healthcare services. Using a case study approach, the research employs both quantitative and qualitative methods. Primary data is collected through structured questionnaires administered to procurement officers, administrative staff, and suppliers within the Kwara State Ministry of Health. Additionally, in-depth interviews are conducted with key stakeholders to gain deeper insights into the practical implications of the Act. Secondary data sources include official procurement records, government reports, and relevant literature. Key findings reveal that the new procurement act has significantly improved the transparency and accountability of procurement processes in the Ministry of Health. Enhanced regulatory compliance, competitive bidding, and better supplier management are among the notable improvements.
