The planning for procurement in public organizations has been one of the
problematic areas. In recent years many public organizations, have shown poor
performance in preparation and implementation of the annual procurement planning;
as 68% of tenders are awarded without annual procurement plan and payments made
without complying with the annual procurement planning in public organizations
(Utouh L.S 2012) .Recent studies show that there is poor performance in the area of
procurement planning. This marks as a foundation of this study. The study aimed at
assessing the effective annual procurement planning in Tanzania immigration
department, finding the root causes of these irregular procurement practices, delays
in preparation and submission of annual procurement planning, and why most public
organizations fail to implement procurement plans despite of the presence of legal
and regulatory framework.
The study was conducted at Tanzania Immigration Department at the Headquarter in
Dar es Salaam region, where face to face interviews and questionnaires were used to
obtain primary data from 30 selected respondents; documentary review will be used.
Data were analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative approaches/techniques
and presented using tables and charts for easy understanding.
Therefore, procurement planning and compliance in public organization is still an
area which requires a close attention so as to overcome those challenges. There must
be a policy of ensuring better participation in the overall organizational plans since
procurement planning is most derived from the organizations plans. Thus why this
study intends critically to make assessment of procurement function at Tanzania
