This study investigates the impact of supply chain management on the performance of Nile University of Nigeria, focusing on strategic supplier partnership as independent variable, and procurement success as a proxy for organizational performance. The population of the study comprises 996 Academic and Non-Academic staff members, with a sample size of 285 determined using Taro Yamane’s formula. Primary data collection methods were employed, utilizing a 5-point Likert scale to gauge respondents’ perceptions. Inferential statistical analyses were conducted to assess relationships. Results indicate a significant and positive association between strategic partnership and procurement success, as evidenced by significant p-values of 0.000. Based on these findings, recommendations are proposed for Nile University to enhance supply chain management practices. These include prioritizing strategic partnerships with key suppliers, strengthening customer engagement through personalized communication and proactive problem-solving, implementing quality control measures to ensure order accuracy, and conducting a thorough assessment of information needs within the procurement process to optimize performance. By implementing these recommendations, Nile University can leverage supply chain management practices to improve procurement success and overall organizational performance. Future research could delve deeper into the dynamics of information sharing within supply chains to address the observed insignificance and further optimize supply chain strategies.
