Abstract: Aim: The goal of this study was to examine the variables influencing Kenya's SCM compliance with public procurement. Methods: To answer the research questions, an exploratory design was used in the study. Supply chain management directors from Kiambu, Kenya's central government departments participated in the study. Respondent information was gathered through personal interviews. Structured questionnaires with both open-ended and closed-ended questions served as the tool. Quantitative approaches were used to analyze the study's data. The results were analyzed using a Likert scale and SPSS software. The cause-and-effect connection between the dependent and independent variables was ascertained using regression analysis. The information was presented using tables, graphs, and charts. Results: Using SPSS, the information gathered from seven of the eight respondents who were specifically targeted was analyzed and presented using tables, charts, frequencies, and percentages. 87.5 percent of those who responded did so. Compared to the predicted reply rate of 75%, this response rate was quite high. The majority of the targeted respondents returned the questionnaire, which allowed the study's goal to be met. Conclusion: The majority of respondents agreed that seminars and training sessions are hardly offered. Recommendation: It is advised that PPOA supply more copies of the Act and regulation to every procurement officer in every public procurement agency based on the findings of the research. To make reading more appealing, PPOA could adopt friendlier wording in the copies.
