There are five major factors that enhance governance procurement: strict e-procurement process, public officer, political official, vendor, and policy and regulation requirements. A strict e-procurement process has positive effect on good governance practice in terms of enhancing cost effectiveness and transparency, and decreasing collusion among vendors.
