The Influence of the National E-Procurement System on Employees’ Performance in Selected Public Institutions in Tanzania

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study evaluates how the Tanzania National E-Procurement System (TANePS) affects worker productivity in a country’s public institutions. The Government Procurement Services Agency (GPSA) and the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) were the two organizations where the study specifically investigated the adoption of TANePS and its impact on employee performance. With 200 employees from the chosen institutions participating in the sttudy’s self-administered questionnaire survey, 66 percent of the respondents responded. According to the study, 84% of the respondents frequently used TANePS for e-tendering and e-payment, but only a small percentage utilized it for user registration and e-contract administration. While internal resistance negatively impacted management policies and system adoption, good software design and IT readiness promoted TANePS deployment. The introduction of TANePS was successful due to supportive policies and IT, increased performance, and enhanced procurement efficiency.
