What barrier gives rise to the public procurement e-tendering procedures used in Tanzania's Morogoro Region

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the obstacles in Tanzania's Morogoro Region's public procurement e-tendering procedures. The study examined three specific procurement entities using a descriptive research design. The sample consisted of 101 responders. Questionnaires and in-person interviews were the two primary techniques used to collect data. The investigation included both qualitative and quantitative data. The data were then shown in mean and standard deviation tables.

According to the study's findings, e-tendering procedures which include e-advertising, e-tender evaluation, e-award of tender and e-opening of tender improve cost-saving, cash flow, competitiveness, accessibility, and the procurement process's ability to manage time. These procedures also reduce holding and ordering costs. The results of this study cannot be applied to other areas because it was limited to Morogoro and only two districts were studied. Furthermore, it is advised that the government and pertinent agencies implement a cooperative policy in order to build equivalent mechanisms for tender selection and issuance. According to Government Notice (GN) number 446 of 2013 (Public Procurement Regulations), this study demonstrates how ICT is used in contract awards, tender invitation publications, application submission, and the publication of selection and award criteria.
