Various studies were conducted in Tanzania trying to examine different factors
which cause most of the projects ends up failing to achieve value for money, but the
problem is still exist. This led the researcher to conduct this study so as to fill the
knowledge gap. The general objective of this study was to assess the influence of
APP in achieving value for money. The three specific objectives used in this study
were centered to examine the influence and contribution of each objective on
achieving value for money. The study was carried at National Social Security Fund
(NSSF). The study was guided by two theories which are Resource Based Theory
and Transactional Cost Theory. Purposive sampling and simple random sampling
were used to select 167 respondents to be included in the study. Both Primary and
Secondary data were collected using Interview, Questionnaire and Documentary
review. The data collected were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively.
Quantitative data were analyzed using Factor Analysis and Multiple Regression
Analysis while the qualitative data were analyzed using Narrative Analysis. The
findings from analysis indicate that preparation of APP, selection of procurement
methods and Implementation of APP contributes significantly to achieving value for
money as the study found both of the independent variables to have a sig. value of
0.000 which is lower than the level of significant of 0.05. Moreover, the study found
that these objectives have positive contribution to the dependent variable Achieving
value for money, whereby Preparation of APP has a positive contribution of .786,
Selection of procurement methods has a positive contribution of .837, and
Implementation of APP has a positive contribution of .486. This study has
implications to different procurement practitioners as will help them to have a deeper
understanding on the influence of APP in achieving value for money and suggested
future studies to take into account factors which hinders achieving value for money
