This study has adopted three theories theory which are “Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Transaction Cost Theory and theory of price determination”. The technology could be used based on its expected contribution in services delivery, or in improving efficiency of service delivery from a specific institution. This how also electronic procurement was adopted in Rwanda for making easy tendering process and other procurement functions. The transaction cost theory states that the goal of any organization is to minimize costs associated with transactions.

Data was collected using questionnaire. Analysis of data was performed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Scientists) and results obtained were presented in form of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The results were presented as follows: The Bivariate correlation analysis results indicate Pearson correlation or “r” which is equal to 0.620 and Sig. (2-tailed) equal to 0.000. This means that, there is a positive correlation between electronic procurement and Performance of tendering process and this correlation is moderate. The correlation is also statistically significant as p-value of 0.000 is less than 1% level of significance. In other words, Electronic procurement contribute 62% in Performance of tendering process. Heath sector is important to the public as hospital is not working for business but for saving people’s lives. As recommendations, there is a need to increase efficiency in procurement process and to make highly improved tendering process from highly qualified bidders.
