In Kenya, most County Governments continue to lose a lot in community-based organization projects as a result of poor procurement management practices. There is an increase number of community projects that have worsened despite an advance increment in government and private initiatives. In Machakos County, Kenya the inefficiency and ineptness of project performance in CBO has revealed that, despite multiple efforts, projects are barely completed, neither are these projects within the budget nor meeting the timelines set thereby leading to these projects being abandoned or failing.

Precise goals for this investigation: to measure; the impact of tendering, supplier sourcing, contract management, and inventory management on the accomplishment of community-based schemes in Machakos County.

The study utilized descriptive statistics where mean and standard deviation were utilized to analyze data through the assistance of Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) software version 22. To evaluate the link connecting procurement management practices and community-based projects performance within Machakos County, Kenya where inferential statistics was involved with the use of regression analysis. The discoveries were demonstrated by the use of tables and charts. The coefficient of correlation R was 0.812, showing a high positive connection between variables, according to the study findings.
