Abstract: The public procurement function in local government assemblies facilitate the implementation of government policies which may translate into significant social and economic outcomes that improve communities' wellbeing. Consequently, strategic procurement participation and role conflict have attracted great attention as these concepts have the potential to influence the procurement function's contribution to public organisations' performance. This study examines the effect of strategic procurement participation and role conflict on the procurement function performance of local government assemblies in the Upper East of Ghana. Institutional theory underpins this empirical research and the study follows a quantitative research approach, using a questionnaire to collect data from nine municipal and district assemblies (MDAs). A multiple regression model was used to test the theoretical model and the research confirms that strategic procurement participation activities have a strong direct influence on procurement function's performance. However, role conflict was found to be negatively related to procurement performance.
