7.1.7 Unadvertised tenders without plausible reasons for single<br />
sourcing<br />
We note significant deficiencies on advertisement <strong>of</strong> tender<br />
where by tenders for financial year 2007/08 were not<br />
advertised by procuring entities. Examples include:-<br />
Entity Tender not advertised<br />
<strong>Tanzania</strong><br />
Communication<br />
Regulatory Authority<br />
Tender for provision <strong>of</strong> health service<br />
awarded to AAR Health Services (T)<br />
Limited worth Shs 75.67 million <strong>and</strong><br />
tender for provision <strong>of</strong> digital<br />
documentation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> construction <strong>of</strong><br />
TCRA building amounting to Shs. 32.38<br />
million<br />
National Social Security Procurement <strong>of</strong> one unit <strong>of</strong> Motor<br />
Fund<br />
vehicle for Shs. 120 Million<br />
Institute <strong>of</strong> Social Work Procurement worth Shs.107,610,800<br />
were made without competitive<br />
bidding<br />
7.1.8 Irregular tender board composition<br />
A review made on <strong>the</strong> composition <strong>of</strong> Tender Boards noted<br />
that <strong>the</strong> Boards comprises members less than required<br />
number <strong>of</strong> members as required by part 2 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> second<br />
schedule made under section 28(2) <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> PPA <strong>of</strong> 2004. In<br />
some instances TUICO representatives were appointed to<br />
<strong>the</strong> tender board by virtual <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir TUICO positions.<br />
For example at <strong>the</strong> Institute <strong>of</strong> social work tender board<br />
comprises seven members only <strong>and</strong> at Bank <strong>of</strong> <strong>Tanzania</strong><br />
TUICO representative was appointed to <strong>the</strong> tender board by<br />
virtual <strong>of</strong> his position.<br />
