| dc.description | One of the big challenge facing public sectors in most developing countries to day is prevalent in exposure to procurement risk. The aim of the study was to access how procurement risks are managed in public sector in Tanzania using NHC consistently as a case study. Specifically, this study was conducted with four specific objectives; (i) to identifying procurement risks along the procurement process at NHC, (ii) to assessing the effect of procurement risks on procurement performance at NHC, to find out effect of knowledge management on procurement performance at NHC and (iv) to identifying the appropriate risk management strategies to address the challenges facing public sector in mitigating procurement risks. Data collection for this study was through questionnaires and interviews guide. SSP was used to analyze both descriptive and inferential statistics. Inferential statistics involved use of Pearson Chi squire test and least logic regression analysis. Descriptive results of the study indicate a wide range of procurement risk in public sector including; cost overrun (51.9%), unfair dealings with suppliers (44.7%); difficulty in evaluation of some products/materials from suppliers (42.6%); recurring selection of inappropriate methods (42.6%), none adherence to procurement schedule (27.8%); purchasing inappropriate products/services (27.8%); inadequate response from tenderers (27.8%) and cost underestimation by Suppliers (28.7%). The findings also revealed that cost overruns, cost underestimation by suppliers, purchasing inappropriate products/services and inadequate responses from tenderers were statistically significantly associated with procurement performance at NHC (PV= 0.000). Appropriate evaluation of procurement products/materials and right procurement cost as effective and effective procurement performance were significantly associated with employee’s competency and skills. Staff training, risk management policy, buyer-supplier relationship, and inter functional relationship and communication among departments in the organization were identified as key procurement risks management strategies. It was recommended that, public procuring entity should ensured that all procurement practioners in supply chain are adequatly trained on identification of risks in the supply chain. | |
