Abstract
Circular procurement occurs when the buyer purchases products or services that follow the principles of the circular economy, supporting the assessment of designing, making, selling, reusing and recycling products to determine how to get the maximum value from them, both in use and at the end of their life”. The need to reduce waste and resource inefficiency in public procurement and the need for a transition to a Circular Economy (CE) led to the development of circular public procurement (CPP). Despite the benefits of CPP, the adoption remains very low. The aim of this study is to assess the interrelationships amongst CSFs for the successful adoption of CPP. The study adopted a quantitative research approach using a questionnaire survey. The population of the study was made up of 943 Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) while the sample size was 281 MDAs. Descriptive statistics was carried out (mean, standard deviation and frequency table) using SPSS and structural equation modeling was performed with the aid of PLS to assess interrelationships amongst critical success factors for the adoption of circular public procurement. The findings revealed that organizational circular public procurement competency has a significant and positive effect on planning and monitoring (P Value < 0.01). Also, organizational circular public procurement competency has a significant and positive effect on change management program (P Value < 0.01) and lastly organizational circular public procurement competency has a significant and positive effect on re-engineering program (P Value < 0.01). They are also mutually influential. It is therefore recommended that Procuring entities should initiate planning and monitoring, change management program and re-engineering process geared towards circular public procurement competency.
