dc.description.abstractE-procurement adoptions make purchasing activities more effective in terms of both time and cost. In Tanzania the adoption of e-procurement is at infant stage. The focus of this thesis is on adoption of e-procurement and value that can be achieved in Tanzania public institutions. In recent years, Tanzania has made a significant progress in ICT. Specific examples are on the adoption of mobile technologies, implementation of the national ICT broadband backbone (NICTBB). The ICT infrastructures which enable the government of Tanzania to embark on e-procurement adoption include: national fibre optic cable network, internet service providers (ISP) and internet cafes and increasing the number of mobiles network across the country. The research model was focused on TOE frameworks which elaborate in details the e-procurement adoption in three perspectives: 1. Organization factors: organization size, top management attitudes characteristics, relative advantage characteristics and user involvement characteristics 2. Technological factors: compatibility characteristics, complexity characteristics, technological infrastructures characteristics, and perceived benefits characteristics 3. Environmental factors: normative pressure, coercive pressure, and mimetic pressure The research methodology used in the study include the data collection techniques which focus on questionnaire as primary data collection, and secondary data collection involve books, journal and internet search engine like Google scholar. Non probability sampling was used in this study.
