Abstract The purpose of the study was to develop a framework for public sector sourcing strategies to improve organisational performance in the agricultural sector in Zimbabwe based on evidence from the ministry of Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development. This was triggered by the lack of due diligence, methodical and thorough approach to supplier selection against the background of public procurement scandals, non-delivery of paid supplier contracts and delivery of substandard materials or products in the public sector. In line with the positivism research philosophy adopted, the study used the quantitative research method, descriptive research design and a structured questionnaire on a sample of 97 participants drawn using simple random sampling. Both descriptive and inferential statics were used to analyse data. The study revealed supplier selection significantly impact on organizational performance in terms of economy (cost savings). It was also established that challenges such as technological gaps and procurement corruption are severe in the ministry of Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development. Hence, a public sector sourcing framework to close these gaps and enhance organisational performance was designed and presented accordingly.
