Application of Information communication Technology has become a hot topic in
recent years. Despite this, there remains a scarcity of critical academic literature on
the subject, and relatively little is known about how information communication
technology can be implemented management in an organization.
The study main objective is to assess the challenge and prospect for using ICT in
public procurement in Tanzania using Marry Land Global Initiative (MGI) in Dar as
Salaam as the case study. The study used both purposive and simple random
sampling where by the sample of 40 workers was obtained from all the departments
and the top managers of the organization.
Data were collected using the triangle approach that was Documentary review,
observation and questionnaire method where by the data collected were analyzed
presented by using distribution tables
The findings revealed that the ICT faces implementation difficulties, among them are
cost related to investment and the support from top management since they do not
really understand the benefit that will be derived from the application of ICT.
ICT professionals have to select the best for their organization to utilize, the
selection should fit the business need and should not deviate from organizational
view of business.
The research suggested that further studies should be done in public sectors since
most of the Information communication technology studies have focused on private
organization and well developed contrives.
