Abstract: This study was conducted to determine the impact of e-procurement practices on the supply chain performance of public institutions within the Upper East Region of Ghana. Five prime e-procurement practices were analysed in relation to supply chain performance. Purposive sampling technique was employed to collect quantitative data from 251 employees of public institutions using a structured five-point Likert scale questionnaire. The findings of the study suggest that e-catalogue, e-invoicing, e-sourcing and e-supplier selection have a positive and significant impact on the supply chain performance of public institutions. The findings of the study further revealed that e-tendering did not have any significant impact on supply chain performance. Hence, the study's findings suggest that public-sector procurement managers can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their supply chain operations and services by properly implementing e-cataloguing, e-invoicing, e-sourcing, and e-supplier selection technologies.
