Abstract: 
Environmental and social issues are increasingly being included in the strategy plans of public organizations. The people and variables that affect the pace with which sustainability measures are implemented are the subject of this article. The researchers looked at Selected Second Cycle Institutions in Bono East and Bono Regions of Ghana. The target group of this research were the Headmaster/Headmistress, Accountants and Procurement officers. A total of Forty-Eight 48 respondents answered the questionnaire posed to them by the researcher. Close-ended Questionnaires questionnaire was used in attaining views of respondents. Despite the fact that sustainability efforts were given, some of the institution stalled with fusing sustainability in the procurement cycle and lack of stakeholders’ involvement. Procurement practitioners have little have relatively little impact on the sustainability implementation process.
