| dc.description | The research was a case study of PCCB which adopted the implementation of Eprocurement system. Anderson, K. V., Juul, N.C and Pedersen, J. K. (2003) stated that an organization is able to realize the full benefits of ICT in procurement only when its internal financial system is interconnected with the procurement system. E-procurement system contributes significantly to national productivity growth through the removal of non-value-added activities in procurement process. However, the adoption has been slow in Tanzania and there is still a lack of studies assessing the impact of e-procurement. The research aimed at establishing the extent to which PCCB used ICT in procurement system and the strengths and weaknesses of the system. Data was mainly collected through questionnaires, interview and also using secondary data. It was established that whereas response from open ended questions was appealing, the level of neutral responses for closed ended questions was very high. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The study revealed gaps such as lack of enough procurement professionals, problems adhering to the annual budget since the budget module in PMIS is inactive. To utilize the good knowledge base of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the bureau, the research recommended the implementation of the basics of ICT in procurement such as advertisement of tenders via websites. This concept was used by government ministries in Tanzania, according to Nyandimo (2011). | |
