Annual general report of the controller and - Parliament of Tanzania

of appropriate procurement methods and integrate its
procurement budget with its expenditure program.
However, during year under review most of Public
Authorities lack procurement plans in place as a result
much procurement was done as the need arise and splitting
procurement was noted in some of the transactions done by
the procuring entity.
For example,
ENTITY
Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority
Mwanza Urban Water and Sewerage Authority.
Bank of Tanzania
Institute of Social Works
Tanzania Institute of Education
Cashew nut Board of Tanzania
7.1.3 Performance of the Tender Boards
In most cases Chief Executive Officers appointed Tender
Boards as per requirement of Section 28 (1) & (4) of the
PPA, 2004. However, the following weaknesses were
generally noted in appointing and functioning of the Tender
Boards:
Appointments of tender boards were delegated by Chief
Executive Officers contrary to reg. 33 (2) (a) which
prohibits the delegation of establishment of tender board
and appointment of members. There were not evidences
that PPRA was notified on the constitution of the tender
boards as required by Section 29 (1) of the PPA of 2004. I
further observed material deficiencies in tender board
proceedings in relation to resolutions which showed lack of
understanding of board’s functions and powers as per
section 30 & 32 of the PPA, 2004. For instance, post
qualification is done for all bidders before award is given to
the lowest evaluated bidder.
