Annual general report of the controller and - Parliament of Tanzania

(a) Tender Evaluation Documents
We could not obtain the original evaluation report as
it was stated that the same was in possession of
Prevention and Combating Corruption Bureau
(PCCB). Though photo copy of the report was
available, it was not dated hence we could not
ascertain whether the evaluation was done as
required by section 33 of the Public Procurement Act
of 2004.
(b) Tender Evaluation Committee
Evaluation of the tender was done by six members in
the evaluation committee contrary to Regulation 90
(1) of the Procurement Act of 2004 which requires
the procuring entity to establish the evaluation
committee comprising of not less than three and not
more team than five members.
Further, the evaluation committee was appointed by
Director of Human Resources and Administration
rather than being recommended by Procurement
Management Unit and approved by the Chief
Executive Officer as per section 33(e) of the Public
Procurement Act of 2004.
(c) Opening Ceremony Register and Bidder Documents
Opening ceremony register signed by both Fund’s
representative and bidders` representatives which is
a binding document for read out prices was not
availed to us despite several requests made by
auditors. Further, Original bid documents could not
be read since they were destroyed apparently by
water.
Therefore, some of the important information
contained therein, such as bidders’ names and the
corresponding prices could not be established. The
fund contravenes regulation 19 (5) G.N. 97 which
