The study was about the effect of contract management on procurement performance at the Ministry of Environment (MoE) in Rwanda. Findings showed that there is closer the correlation is to either +1 or -1, the stronger the correlation. If the correlation is 0 or very close to 0, there is no association between the two variables. Here, we have a strong correlation (r = .697**). The direction of the correlation tells us how the two variables are related. If the correlation is positive, the two variables have a positive relationship (as one increases, the other also increases). If the correlation is negative, the two variables have a negative relationship (as one increases, the other decreases). Here, we have a positive correlation (r = .697**). As contract management is effectively done, the Performance of the public procurement increases. Based on the findings obtained above, the research problem was solved, research objectives were achieved, and the research hypothesis was verified where the level of significance was .000(b) which implies that the regression model is significant in predicting the relationship between contract management represented by (contract closure, contract administration, contract delivery management, contract relationship management, contract dispute resolution) and performance of the public procurement in Rwanda. The findings also showed a level of fitness model of 41.162 which is positive with a p-value of 0.000b less than 0.01, set as the standard significance level.
