    Assessing the compliance on public procurement act no.7 of 2011 and it’s regulations on road construction projects in Tanzania Local Government Authorities (TLGAs): A case of selected LGAS in Dodoma region
    (Mzumbe University, 2016) Matembo, Fridolin
    The aim of this study was to assess the compliance on PPA of 2011 and its regulations on Road Construction Projects in Tanzania Local Government Authorities (TLGAs): The case of selected LGAs in Dodoma Region. Specifically, the study focused on; examining the compliance on signing contract documents after funds commitment and approval by Tender board, determining the compliance on achievement of value for money and identifying the major challenges facing LGAs on compliance with PPA of 2011 on road construction projects at Kongwa DC, Chamwino DC and Dodoma MC. The study adopted cross sectional survey design, whereby the data from three LGAs in Dodoma region were collected through Interview, Questionnaires and documentary review. The respondents were purposively and randomly selected, finally data were analysed through both qualitative and quantitative approach. The findings revealed that: The Dodoma LGAs have achieved to a great extent by ensuring that all contracts related to road construction were signed after funds commitment and approval by Tender board, the relationship between compliance on time, cost and quality of road works has rated as insignificant for almost to all Districts; this meant that, most of the implemented contracts were of late completion, above estimated budget and below stipulated standards. Unfamiliarity with laws and regulations, lack and poor use of technical expertise for preparation of procurement proceedings especially in designing stage, unstable flow of funds and lack of enough competent and committed contractors and suppliers for road construction materials were revealed as major challenges that faced the PPA No. 7 of 2011 and its regulations on implementation of roads construction projects in Dodoma LGAs. Finally, the researcher concluded and recommended that the best initiatives for improving compliance to PPA and its regulations towards procurement performance on road construction projects are; frequent seminars and workshops, promoting own source collections so as to cover funds gap, emphasizing the collective responsibility within and outside the organization during preparation of BOQ and specifications.
