n the 17th Edition of the Tanzania Procurement Journal, we published an article on “Principles IFor Enhancing Integrity in Public Procurement” which have been adopted by the OECD Countries1. In the introduction to that article we mentioned that, although not a member of OECD Countries, these principles are relevant to our situation here in Tanzania. Although it is diffi cult to put a fi nger on it, problems which we are experiencing related to poor quality of works, services and products, late completion of works and delivery of services or products, and late payment to suppliers and contractors could somehow be attributed to problems of integrity in public procurement. According to the article in question integrity is defi ned as “the use of funds, resources, assets, and authority, according to the intended offi cial purposes and in line with public interests”. This is a wide defi nition of integrity, but fi ts well within the defi nition of procurement cycle that starts with needs assessment, to contract award stage, up until contract management and fi nal payment. In all those stages prudent use of public resources is very important if we want to realise value for money. In this edition, I want to focus on the 4th principle which calls on governments to “ensure that procurement offi cials meet high professional standards of knowledge, skills and integrity”. To this I link with Section 33(c) which requires the Head of a Procuring Entity (PE) to cause to be established a Procurement Management Unit (PMU) staffed to an appropriate level, and Section 34(2) which requires a PMU to consist of procurement and other technical specialists with the necessary supporting and administrative staff. In procurement audits carried out by PPRA, one of the noted areas where PEs are struggling is to get qualifi ed procurement and supplies professionals to work in the newly established PMUs. Problems of not preparing annual procurement plans, not using standard tender documents, poor record keeping, poor contract management, not seeking compulsory approvals and not publishing contract awards which were established in the procurement audits2 carried out by PPRA could all be attributed to lack of qualifi ed staff in the PMUs. Unfortunately even for some PEs that seriously want to overcome those problems they are challenged by lack of qualifi ed procurement staff in the market. This is compounded by government salary structure which is not competitive enough to attract qualifi ed procurement offi cials. There are noted cases where qualifi ed public procurement offi cials have left the government to work in the donor organisations and the private sector. To overcome problems highlighted above and to ensure that procurement carried out offers value for money to the government, as a matter of urgency, we need to embrace in full the fourth principle of enhancing integrity in public procurement as articulated by the OECD. The principle says “Recognising offi cials who work in the area of public procurement as a profession is critical to enhancing resistance to mismanagement, waste and corruption. Governments should invest in public procurement accordingly and provide adequate incentives to attract highly qualifi ed offi cials. They should also update offi cials’ knowledge and skills on a regular basis to refl ect regulatory, management and technological evolutions. Public offi cials should be aware of integrity standards and be able to identify potential confl ict between their private interests and public duties that could infl uence public decision making.” PPRA has already started a dialogue with National Accreditation Council for Technical Education (NACTE), Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU), National Board for Materials Management (NBMM) and President’s Offi ce – Public Service Management (PO-PSM) and Training Institutions to deliberate on setting of training standards, competence levels, certifi cation requirements and professional development path for procurement professionals. The law establishing the NBMM has been amended to give way to Procurement and Supplies Professional Board. A Procurement Policy Unit has been established in the Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs to oversee procurement policy issues and development of the procurement cadre soon to be shifted to the same Ministry. We think, as a country, we are in the right direction. We have set the ball rolling and what is needed is to make sure that the implementation of above interventions is hastened to enable our country have “procurement offi cials who meet high professional standards of knowledge, skills and integrity” within the next few years.
