The study em- ployed a stratified random sampling technique. The study made use of the sampling table found in Appendix III by Krejcie and Morgan (1970), which shows that 92 is the sample size when the population is 120. The information was gathered through surveys, secondary sources, and annual reports. Quantitative methods were used to analyze the data. The SPSS program, version 21, and descriptive statistics like the mean, percentages, and standard deviation were used to examine the quantitative data. The dependent and independent variables in the study were compared using var- iance analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results of the analysis were displayed in tables. The study found out that respondents perceive the companies undertaking the projects to have some level of experience. The companies taking part in the bidding process, according to the re- spondents, are participating at a somewhat lower level. The majority of respondents think that oversight procedures have a significant impact on a project's financial performance. The majority of respondents firmly concur that contract definitions can significantly affect a project's financial performance. It can be concluded that respondents generally perceive the companies undertaking the projects as having some level of experience. Respondents generally believe in the importance and effectiveness of pre-qualification practices in project management. Respondents generally be- lieve in the importance and effectiveness of supervision practices in project management. Most respondents concur that contracts with clear definitions improve projects' financial performance. The study recommends that companies involved in these projects should communicate their expe- rience, reputation, financial stability, and compliance with regulations more effectively to alleviate any concerns among stakeholders. Companies should work on promoting their participation in the bidding process to improve their perception among stakeholders. Companies should communicate their effective supervision practices more effectively to stakeholders, emphasizing the impact on financial performance and the avoidance of delays. Given the importance of clear contracts in project management, it may be beneficial to focus on improving contract clarity and communica- tion regarding financial aspects and associated penalties.enfinancialperfor- manceMandera CountyGovernmentThesis
