The collection of data, processing, analyzing, and presentation of primary data which were acquired by use of observation, interview, questionnaires and face to face techniques were used. Secondary data was collected by consulting various literature and documents such as management reports, text books, manuals and internet. The information represented in different forms such as tables, percentages and few narrative notes. The findings revealed that: Tendering processes at CBE was not executed within the time limit thus leads into much of procurement emergencies. After award of tender being made, bidders are not informed at the right time while users were not informed at all. Tendering procedures at CBE do not follow time frame stated in the procurement plan as the result took much of time in offering tenders to prospective suppliers, contractors or service providers. In the view of findings the following recommendations were made; Management should find out or put strategy to reduce time taken or spent in processing tender. CBE should stick on the laid down procedures while conducting procurement activities. There is need of employing more procurement personnel in order to add work force in the organization so as to avoid tendering procedures to be skipped.
