Abstract: Aim: To investigate the influence of IFMIS on public procurement performance in Kinshasa Province. Methods: The study adopted a descriptive research design, where the target population comprised of 100 individuals in top management, departmental staff, and supervisors. A sample of 80 respondents was selected, representing 80% of the population. Statistical software for social sciences SPSS (version 16) was employed in data analysis. Qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis. Quantitative data was analyzed through the use of descriptive statistics which include: frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations as well as multiple linear regression model. Results: Study found that IFMIS has a significant positive relationship with public procurement performance, as demonstrated by the four study variables. Since significant relationships were established between IFMIS control systems, online tendering, automated planning, and automated supplier engagement on public procurement performance. Conclusion: The study concluded that changing either IFMIS control systems, online tendering, automated planning and automated supplier engagement would significantly affect public procurement performance.
