Abstract: Electronic procurement is one the critical functions adopted by county governments in their procurement departments to shorten lead time, increase transparency and increase levels efficiency. Despite these, reports indicate that many counties in western region Kenya are still having challenges of longer lead times, poor supply performance and inadequate efficiency in procurement processes. The objective of this study was to establish the effect of electronic tendering on supply chain performance. The study was guided by technology acceptance theory. The target population of the study was 216 respondents and stratified random sampling was used to select 140 respondents from the county government employees. Both primary and secondary data was collected. A pilot study was done in Kisumu County. Cronbach’s Alpha was used to test reliability. Validity was tested by experts and factor analysis. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 27. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were obtained. Descriptive statistics comprised of variance, standard deviation and mean. Inferential statistics comprised of multiple regression analysis. Data was presented using tables. Multiple regression analysis indicated that electronic tendering electronic tendering had a significant effect on supply chain performance by reducing the inventory cost with a coefficient of -0.771. The study depicted that 46.0% variation in supply chain performance is caused by electronic tendering. The study may help policymakers to create e-procurement regulations and the information from the study findings may also be used by investors to help in deciding how much money they should spend on electronic purchases in order to cut costs and increase profits. The study concluded that electronic tendering affected supply chain performance negatively and significantly through reduction of inventory cost. The study therefore recommended county government should effectively adopt electronic tendering and train its employees on how to use electronic tendering efficiently in order to help in preparation of documents during tendering process.
