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.
