    (Mzumbe University, 2013) Evans, Adrian
    The study is about the assessment of the challenges facing the enrolment of EProcurement in public sectors in Tanzania. With a case study of Medical Stores Department (MSDs). The study has the following specific objectives, to explore the perception of e-procurement in public sectors, to examine the e-procurement enrolment process in public sectors, to determine the contribution of e-procurement performance in public organizations. The Research methodology concerned where the researcher applied systematic approaches in data collection. Both qualitative and quantitative were used to the 34 respondents from MSD. Closed and open ended questions were used where the collected data were coded and analyzed by using Statistical Package for social Science (SPSS) and Microsoft excel where table and figures were drawn. Results of the analysis showed that, E – Procurement application in Public sectors is a very important aspect in achieving Value for Money and efficiency in Procurement activities. At MSD various initiatives such as adoption ERP system, use of Internet and E – Mail are measures to ensure effective implementation of E – Procurement. E – Procurement application in the organization of the study is not effective because it covers some parts such as generation of Procurement requisition, and generating Purchase order through EPICAR 9 system which is done within the organization and no access to the Supplier to view the Purchase orders. It is recommended that, E - Procurement enrolment needs to be considered effectively by MSD so as to alter the reduction of unnecessary cost, risks associated with delays of delivery, Stock out, unequal opportunity to suppliers, and corruption as the results not realizing value for Money in Procurement. Organization should conduct every now and then training to all staff since it cuts across E – Procurement applications, and its importance to the organization so that employees will be capable of using E –Procurement tools. The organization in collaboration with the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania should have different sources of funds so as to ensure that the project is implemented.
