INTRODUCTION
In every organization public and private sectors, no matter how small they are, management will not like to lose a huge sum of money due to ineffective supply management.
Therefore, the need for efficient supplies management functions in the public sector (e.g.) the ministry of finance Imo State is aimed at identifying the importance and impact of supplies functions in the overall performance of the public supplies management.
Public supplies management are basically the same as the industrial supplies and materials management. It is a system of materials management associated mainly with governmental agencies (i.e.) federal, state, local government, municipal councils, public school system, public libraries, colleges and universities, health institutions and various government commissions.
It covers also the materials management functions as practices in intergovernmental parastatals or extra ministerial departments including various board authorities and public Corporations e.g. Power Holdings, NNPC, Nigeria Airways, Railways Corporations, water boards, port authority, River Basin Development Authorities, KASCO etc.
The fund spent by public supplies officers that is those officers who manage the government and supplies functions for government and agencies at all levels deserve the same attention as Naria spent in industrial purchases. Since the source of these funds is the taxpayer.
If public purchasing funds are spent effectively and efficiently benefit will accrue to all those people who pay for and obtain the benefit from the services provided by the government.
