The research used descriptive andrnexplanatory types of research design, and also used the quantitative and qualitative approach. Therntarget populations were employees who are involved in procurement, contracting team, Propertyrnadministration team, Market research and valuation team of the two organizations and their totalrnnumber were 81. Primary data, through the use of questionnaire and semi structured interviewrnwere used and secondary data such as; Public procurement proclamations, directives and variousrninternal documents, books, journals were reviewed. The collected data, from the questionnaire,rnwas analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics by aid of Statistical Package for SocialrnScience version 20. The major finding of the study indicates that the practice of sustainable publicrnprocurement in the two public procurement organizations, is in its infancy stages. Very fewrnvariables of the sustainability considerations were incorporated in their public procurementrnproclamation, directives, working manuals, framework agreement, and General and SpecialrnConditions of contract and also very few variables of the sustainability considerations werernpracticed in the day to day procurement activities by the procurement professionals. Among thernthree Sustainable Public Procurement dimensions; environmental and social sustainabilityrnconsiderations were almost absent in their policy day to day procurement practices. In additions,rnthe non-inclusion of majority of the sustainability considerations, as a policy or in their day tornday procurement activities, has potentially bring undesirable consequences in to the environment,rnand exacerbated the social and economic aspects of Sustainable Public Procurement. Therncorrelation result indicated that there were positive relationship between all of independentrnvariables (Level of knowledge on Sustainable Public Procurement, Adequacy of training onrnSustainable Public Procurement, Various challenges) and the dependent variable (Practices ofrnSustainable Public Procurement).The researcher recommends that, initiative has to be started onrnthe formulation of sustainable public procurement policy and national implementation strategy,rnby Public Procurement and Property Disposable services, and Public Procurement and PropertyrnAdministration Agency and in consultation with responsible stakeholders that translates howrneconomic, environmental and social sustainability considerations need to be addressed throughrnpublic procurement. In additions, a wider procurement reform will be required, by the two publicrnprocurement organization, considering sustainability at the different stages of the procurementrncycles.
