Purpose: The study aimed at establishing how reverse logistics management, supply chain outsourcing, strategic collaborations, and supply chain benchmarking influence the performance of NCA registered building projects
Methodology: To achieve this, the researcher reviewed both theoretical and empirical literature and proposed the research methodology that addressed the gaps identified in the literature as well as answered the stipulated research questions. A descriptive survey design was adopted by the study. A total of 289 commercial building projects registered by National Construction Authority in Nairobi City County was the target population, as shown in NCA (2020) directory. Using Kothari (2015) sample size formula, the study got 167 commercial building projects. This study used simple random sampling to get the firms. The study preferred this method because it allowed an in-depth study of the subject. To gather data, structured questionnaires were used to collect data. Once collected, data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Quantitative data was analysed using multiple regression analysis. The qualitative data generated was analyzed by use of the Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21
Results and conclusion: The current study obtained an R2 of 64.7% and should therefore be expanded further in futhe ture in order to include other procurement best practices that may as well have a positive significance to the performance of NCA registered build projects.The findings of the study indicated that reverse logistics management, supply chain outsourcing, strategic collaborations and supply chain benchmarking have a positive relationship with performance of NCA registered building projects in Kenya.
Policy recommendation: the study recommended that institutions should embrace procurement best practices so as to improve performance and furtherresearchs should to be carried out in other institutions to find out if the same results can be obtained
