Abstract

The study aims to assess the impact of the force account method on construction projects quality in Muleba District. Utilizing Multiple Linear Regression analysis, it investigates the influence of Force account guidelines, human resource competence, and community involvement on project quality under the force account approach. It involves 100 respondents from Muleba District Council, including supply officers and tender board members, and employs a structured questionnaire for data collection. Results indicate significant associations between the factors and project quality. Effective record keeping is shown to have a positive effect on the quality of community construction projects conducted through the force account method in public procurement. Moreover, a noteworthy link between human resource competence and project quality under the force account approach is established, emphasizing the importance of skilled personnel for successful outcomes. Engaging local communities during planning and execution phases is found to lead to more effective results. The study's outcomes have practical implications for project stakeholders and policymakers focused on enhancing construction project quality in community development. The study underscores the significance of meticulous record keeping, capable human resources, and community engagement in elevating the quality of construction projects executed through the force account method within the framework of public procurement.
