From the research findings the researcher investigated that, majority of the respondents 71.4% agreed that the application of ICT increases costs in supplier and buyers that can cause delay or placing order by a buyer due to lacking skills. This imply that, even if the organizations have tried to adopt ICT there is insufficient training to the staff engaging in procurement even some of the suppliers, contractors and service providers still lack ICT knowledge and adoption.

Therefore, both buyer and supplier should make sure that those who are involved are trained well on the use of ICT software so as to shorten the lead time and make service delivered as it prior planned.
