Abstract: The study examined the relationship between capacity building in procurement and regulatory compliance in government Procurement entities of Rwanda. The objective of the study was to assess the effects of training, coaching and leadership development in public procurement to influencing regulatory compliance of government Procurement entities. A descriptive survey research design was adopted using quantitative methods and used closed ended questionnaire as a data collection instrument. The study targeted 86 respondents from government Procurement entities namely Rwanda Social Security entities, Rwanda Development entities and Rwanda Governance entities. Purposive and stratified sampling techniques were used to select respondents. Data was then analyzed on quantitative basis using Pearson’s correlation, multiple linear regression analysis and descriptive statistics. The regression model used was LogY= βo + β1LogXit1 + β2LogXiit2 + β3LogXiiit3 + ɛt and multiple R (correlation) value obtained was 0.843 (84.3%). The model summary depicted from the regression analysis with multiple R (correlation) value of 0.843 (84.3%) indicated a highly positive relationship between the dependent and independent variables and, the overall contribution of the independent variables: Training (TR), Coaching (CO), and Leadership Development (LD) to the effective regulatory compliance in public procurement (RCPP) which accounted for 70% (R2 = 0.700) of the variation in the RCPP. Therefore the researcher concluded that training, coaching and leadership development in public procurement had the significance influence on regulatory compliance which led to confirm the relationship between capacity building in procurement and regulatory compliance of government Procurement entities in Rwanda. The study recommended that government Procurement entities should continue to focus more on capacity building framework of the staff involved in public procurement to ensure their sustainability and compliance in the future. And finally, the study proposed different major areas of regulatory compliance in public procurement and different scenarios that indicated the necessity of further research in this area.
