摘要：Contract management is one of the essential aspects of public procurement act that ensures openness, accountability and fair contract administration among state agencies. Despite the emphasis of this aspect in the PPAD Act, very little has been achieved with award of contract being irregular an overpriced as well as unfair distribution of the contracts and tenders in government agencies. This study therefore seeks to establish the influence of contract management on the performance of state corporations in Kenya. A descriptive survey research design was employed in the study with the target population of 187 state corporations in Kenya. A sample size of 374 respondents drawn from 187 state corporations in Kenya was surveyed. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the primary data. The data obtained was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics through SPSS. The findings revealed that contract management through contract administration, contract monitoring and contract documentation significantly influenced the performance of state corporations. It was concluded that contract management was an essential aspect of PPAD compliance that influenced firm performance hence the recommendation that the management of state agencies should uphold the use of contract management to achieve better performance.
