To fight corruption in public procurement, one must comprehend the interplay between e-procurement system quality, digital transparency, and accountability. The purpose of this research is to quantify the relationship between procurement corruption and factors including digital transparency, system quality, vendor satisfaction, and user issues. For this study, 93 procurement users from MSMEs, SMEs, and big enterprises filled out a standardised questionnaire. The major data collected included quantitative data, descriptive information, and correlations. Descriptive statistics, multiple regression, and Pearson correlation were all conducted using SPSS. We looked at concerns with system transparency, vendor satisfaction, user difficulties, and reducing corruption. There are statistically significant correlations between important components. There was a large negative correlation between procurement corruption and vendor happiness and transparency, suggesting that a more open and happy vendor community reduces the likelihood of corruption. Because user problems exacerbated corruption reduction, technical or operational hurdles may impede anti-corruption initiatives, even if system quality enhanced it. In order to promote responsibility, confidence in vendors, and ethical purchasing practices, the research highlights the need of enhancing the digital transparency and system quality of e-procurement platforms. In order to create a procurement environment that is resistant to corruption, administrators and policymakers should prioritise a user-friendly system design, active vendor engagement, and rigorous monitoring. This study contributes to the literature on digital governance by investigating potential elements at the system and stakeholder levels that might forestall the corruption of government contracts.
