The general objective of this research was to examine the effectiveness of procurement contract management practices on performance of public institutions in Rwanda. The specific objectives of the study were to assess the effect of contract cycle on performance of Integrated Polytechnic Regional College (IPRC) Musanze, analyze the effect of contract execution on performance of Integrated Polytechnic Regional College (IPRC) Musanze, examine the effect of contract relationship management on performance of Integrated Polytechnic Regional College (IPRC) Musanze and assess the effect of contract monitoring on performance of Integrated Polytechnic Regional College (IPRC) Musanze. This study utilized descriptive and correlation analysis as its primary research methods. A descriptive study also was used to describe the participants’ demographic information. A correlational analysis also was performed. The researcher was able to identify the relationship among contract management and performance of public institutions through a correlation study. The study population for this study was 72 Staffs of IPRC Musanze including Principal, Deputy Principal in Charge of Academics and Training, Corporate services Division Manager, Legal officer, Internal auditor, Logistics officer, Store keeper, Procurement Officer, Administration & Finance department, Workshop Assistants (End users), Instructors (End users), Receiving committee, Contract management team and public tender committee. Given the limited number of individuals or units in the population under study, the researcher has chosen to use a census inquiry method rather than sampling. Documentary, interview and questionnaire sources used as tools of data collection for the study. Questionnaires were distributed to 72 employees of IPRC Musanze. Using SPSS, the researcher determined descriptive statistics such as frequency distributions, percentages, means, and correlations. The correlation results show that a strong contract cycle exhibits highly significant positive correlation with the Performance of public institution (r=0.668, p=0.000<0.05). Effective Contract execution is significantly correlated with Performance of public institution (r=0.627, p=0.000<0.05). Contract relationship significantly correlates with Performance of public institution (r=0.699, p=0.000<0.05). Contract monitoring demonstrates a significant positive relationship with the Performance of public institution (r=0.699, p=0.000<0.05). The findings show that contract execution shows the highest effect (β1 = 0.264, t=2.760), followed by contract monitoring (β2= 0.239, t=2.069), contract cycle (β3= 0.232, t=1.884), and relationship (β4=0.212, t=1.592). IPRC Musanze should strengthen performance through enhanced contract cycles, execution, relationships, and monitoring, while focusing on sustainability and technology integration.
