The Effectiveness of Contract Management on Procurement Performance in Tanzania

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of contract management on procurement performance in Tanzania, specifically in the public sector. While there are related studies on the determinants of procurement contract management and their effect on organization performance, as well as the relationship between supplier development and procurement performance in the public sector, there is a lack of research on the specific case of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA) in the Arusha region. The study will identify the factors leading to poor contract management in public procurement works towards value for money, and explore the relevance of procurement methods and variables in the context of local government authorities. The findings of this study will contribute to the understanding of procurement performance and contract management in the public sector in Tanzania, and provide insights for improving procurement practices in the NCAA and other similar organizations.
