East Africans embrace multi-stakeholder approach toaddress governance challenges in pharmaceuticalprocurement

47TH UNION ANNIVERSARYThe Board of Directors, Management and staff of the Public Procurement Regulato-

ry Authority join all Tanzanians in celebrating the 47th anniversary of the Union

between Tanganyika and Zanzibar.

We wish to express our commitment towards improving the welfare of the Tanzani-

ans through creation of an enabling regulatory environment in which public procure-

ment achieves the ultimate goal of delivering value for money to the Country.

Our Vision: To become a world-class model, effective and sustainable public procure-

ment oversight body.

Our Mission: To foster and promote value for money in public procurement for

national development.

Practitioners from the three East African

countries, namely Tanzania, Kenya and

Uganda have joined efforts to address

governance challenges in procurement and

supply chain management of pharmaceuticals

in the region. This follows a five-day region-

al workshop that was held in Nairobi from

11th to 15th April 2011. The workshop on

“Strengthening Governance in Pharmaceuti-

cal Procurement” was organised by the World

Bank Institute (WBI). It brought together

stakeholders from governments, private sec-

tor, civil society, academia, and media to

identify governance gaps and challenges in

pharmaceutical procurement.

During the workshop, it was realized that

countries within the region were in different

levels of development with respect to gover-

nance and capacity issues in pharmaceutical

procurement and supply chain. There was

therefore a strong feeling that efforts need to

be integrated and leverage on the strength of

multi-stakeholders was found to present a

good opportunity. In his opening remarks on

behalf of the Kenyan Minister of Health Serv-

ices, the Head of Kenya Medical Supplies

Agency (KEMSA), Mr. John Munyo, talked

about dissatisfaction in health service deliv-

ery, a problem which appears to cut across the

region. He attributed this to lack of trans-

parency and accountability and urged all

actors in the pharmaceutical procurement and

supply chain to be actively involved in

addressing the governance challenges which

are already known. Mr. Monyo said “We

should now focus on getting the right solution

to address the disease rather than putting too

much effort on symptoms.”

Participants in the workshop were introduced

to the key concepts of “Flagship for procure-

ment reforms” by a renowned professor of

economics in health systems from Harvard

University, Dr. Marc Roberts. Professor

Roberts explained the most important health

system outcomes, the way of measuring them

and issues to consider when choosing out-

come priorities. Based on these important

concepts, participants were introduced to the

diagnostic tree methodology which they used

to identify major issues to address in their

respective countries. Interestingly, all three

countries seem to have a convergence of

health issues.

Stakeholders in public procurement

have a vital role to play in ensuring

that professionalism prevails in all

public procurement processes, the Chief

Executive Officer of the Public Procure-

ment Regulatory Authority (PPRA), has

said.

Dr. Ramadhan Mlinga said this in the

speech he gave as Guest of Honour during

the Procurement and Supplies Profession-

al Annual Day, which was held on 16

April, 2011 at the University of Dar es

Salaam.

Highlighting the fact which calls upon

every stakeholder of public procurement

to guard against malpractices in the pro-

fession, Dr. Mlinga said that public pro-

curement related issues account for about

70% of Government expenditure, which

implies that unethical procurement and

supplies professionals, if allowed to pre-

vail, would undermine the nation’s devel-

opment plans significantly. “Stakeholders

should play a vital role in ensuring that

professional competencies and the profes-

sion’s code are maintained throughout,” he

said.

Dr. Mlinga said that for keeping abreast

with the latest news and best practices in

public procurement, professionals should

make use of the online procurement

forum, which is available at the PPRA

website as a simple way of exchanging

views among professionals.

He further reiterated that regulatory frame-

work in Tanzania requires various steps to

be taken as prerequisite for effective pro-

curement and which are stipulated in the

various guidelines issued by PPRA from

time to time, including Standard Tender

Documents, the Public Procurement

It became quite clear to everybody that pharma-

ceutical system processes are complex as they

involve; registration and quality testing, manu-

facturing, tracking inventories and use, forecast-

ing needs (quantification), tender process as well

as supply chain (distribution). Other processes

include diagnosis and prescriptions, dispensing to

and purchasing by patients, utilization by

patients, inspection and enforcement of related

laws and regulations. All these processes involve

many stakeholders and complex relationships,

thus contributing to serious transparency and

accountability challenges. It is for this reason that

PROCUREMENT ARTICLE

CAG report on the review of procurementprocesses in public authorities in FY 2009/10This report is an extract from the

report of the Controller and Auditor

General (CAG) on the financial state-

ments of the public authorities for the

financial year ended 30th September

2009, 31st December 2009 and 30th

June 2010. It is reproduced in TPJ

with the Permission of CAG.

As part of its mandate, PPRA shall

make a follow up on the various short-

comings raised in this report to assist

the procuring entities in improving

their procurement procedures.

CHAPTER FOUR

4.0 REVIEW OF CON-

TRACTS AND COMPLIANCE

WITH THE PUBLIC PRO-

CUREMENT LEGISLATIONS

IN LGAsThe Public Procurement Act No. 21 of

2004 defines procurement as the process

involving buying, purchasing, renting, leas-

ing or otherwise acquiring any goods or

works or services by a procuring entity

spending public funds and includes all

functions that pertain to the obtaining of

any goods works or services including

description of requirements, selection and

invitation of tenderers and preparation and

award of Contracts. Given the fact that sub-

stantial amount of the government

resources devoted into the procurement of

goods and services, there is a need for

enhancing financial discipline and trans-

parency throughout procurement process

for the sake of achieving optimal level of

value for money.

4.1 Compliance with Procure-

ment LegislationsSect. 44(2) of the Public Procurement Act

No.21 of 2004 and Reg. No. 31 of the Pub-

lic Procurement (Goods, Works, Non-con-

sultant services and Disposal of Public

Assets by Tender) Regulations, 2005

requires me to state in my annual audit

report whether or not the audited entity has

complied with the provisions of the law and

its Regulations. In view of this responsibil-

ity to procuring entities including Councils,

my general statement is that, the status of

compliance with the Public Procurement

Legislations learned from the transactions

tested as part of my audits is still not satis-

factory as far as the legal requirements is

concerned.

4.2 Effectiveness of Procure-

ment Management Unit

(PMU)The Public Procurement Act No.21 of 2004

Sect. 34 and Reg. 22 of the Local Govern-

ment Authorities Tender Board Regula-

tions, of 2007, requires that, in every

procuring entity (PE) there shall be estab-

lished a PMU staffed to an appropriate

level. The PMU shall consist of procure-

ment and other technical specialists togeth-

er with the necessary Supporting and

Administrative Staff.

Review of effectiveness of PMU during

this year in various Councils as compared

to the preceeding years shows deterioration

of their performance. During the year under

review, 29 Councils were noted with inef-

fective Procurement Management Units

compared to 11 Councils reported in the

previous year’s audit report.

The noted weaknesses includes; Suppliers

providing services before signing the con-

tract documents and failure to prepare

monthly procurement and other reports for

Tender Boards as per Sect. 35 (o) and (q) of

PPA, 2004 and Reg. 23 of LGATBR, 2007.

Summary of the noted weaknesses is as

detailed in the table 1.

During audit, it was noted that the major

cause of non-compliance with PPA of

2004 and its underlying Regulations of

2005 is lack of established or effective

PMUs within the LGAs as procuring

entities. In some cases, the existing

PMUs are not staffed to an appropriate

level and some staff and members lack

appropriate procurement qualifications

and training.

4.3 Appraisal of Contract

management and procure-

ment of goods, works and

services in LGAsThis paragraph highlights general aspects

of compliance with the Public Procure-

ment Act No.21 of 2004 and its related

Regulations of 2005 and the Local

Authority Financial Memorandum of

1997. It also, deals with contract man-

agement and compliance with procure-

ment legislation matters that were found

to be material to be included in this report

and that were reported in the manage-

ment letters to the respective Councils

during the financial year ended 30th

June, 2010. My review of the general

aspects of compliance with the above

cited legislations noted the following

shortfalls:

4.3.1 Stores not recorded in

Ledgers Shs. 577,578,107Order No. 207 of the Local Authority

Financial Memorandum of 1997 requires

a record of receipts, issues and physical

balances of each item of stores to be

recorded on a separate page of the store

ledger showing details of purchase like;

date of purchase, the goods delivery note,

number and the rate per item. Further, it

requires the record on date of issue, the

quantity of issue, the store issue number,

and the physical balance. However, test

checks on the management of stores

observed that, 24 Councils did not adhere

to the above Order as shown in Annexure

21.

delivered Shs. 240,494,600Reg. No. 122 (1) of PPR (Goods, Works,

PROCUREMENT AND SUPPLIES PROFESSIONALS

AND TECHNICIANS BOARD

ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION FEE REMINDER NOTICE

Procurement and Supplies Professional and Technicians Board (PSPTB) established 2007 by

Parliamentary Act No.23 of 2007 is the successor of the National Board for Materials

Management (NBMM) founded in 1981 by Parliamentary Act No.9 of 1981. PSPTB is, therefore,

a regulatory body to oversee, register and regulate conducts of Procurement and Supplies

Professionals and Technicians.

The Board intends to deregister and publish the names of all Professionals and Technicians who

have not paid their outstanding annual subscription fees. You are therefore reminded to settle all

unpaid annual fees before 30th April, 2011. After that date names of all defaulters will be pub-

lished in newspapers together with the outstanding amounts against their names.

For those who will fail to comply with this notice, will be deregistered and hence pursuant to sec-

tion 11 of Act no 23 of 2007, and thus become ineligible to practice any procurement and sup-

plies activities in Tanzania.

Public assets by Tender) of 2005 requires

a procuring entity to obtain reports on the

receipt of goods that have been delivered

against contracts in order to authorize

promptly payment to the supplier. To the

contrary, goods worth Shs. 240,494,600

ordered and paid for in eight Councils

were found undelivered as shown in the

table 2.

4.3.3 Procurements made

without competitive bidding

Shs. 570,589,420

Review of procurement records for the

year ended 30th June, 2010 noted a sum

of Shs. 570,589,420 paid by twenty six

(26) Councils for procurement of works,

goods and consultancy services without

following competitive bidding process

contrary to Reg. 63 of the PPR of 2005.

This is an increase of Shs. 402,062,833

compared to Shs. 168,526,587 reported

in my previous year’s report where six-

teen (16) Councils effected payments of

this nature. Non-adherence to standard

procurement procedures may cast doubt

on whether the value for money was

achieved.

The table 3 shows the amount paid for

each Council without competitive bid-

ding.

Councils’ management should ensure

that, at least three competitive quotations

are sought from the suppliers of goods

and services before the procurement is

effected to comply with the standard pro-

curement procedures. In case of single

sourcing, justification has to be provided

and approved.

4.3.4 Inadequate documenta-

tion of contracts and project

records Shs. 1,755,429,901Adequate documentation of contracts

and project records is crucial for easy ref-

erence and effective execution and mon-

itoring of the contracts and projects.

A systematic documentation would also

facilitate easy access to information by

the Councils themselves and other inter-

ested parties including Development

Partners and Auditors.

However, review of contracts manage-

ment during the year under review

revealed a number of inadequately docu-

mented contracts where, vital informa-

tion/documents were noted missing in

the respective contract files including

contract agreements, Bills of Quantities

(BOQ), Engineers’ estimates, interim

certificates and procurement made out-

side the Procurement Plan.

The level of compliance to procurement

legislations is still inadequate although

there is an improvement in monetary

terms where, during the year under

review, a sum of Shs.1,755,429,901 as

detailed in Annexure 22 was noted to

have been incurred in expenditure of this

nature compared to Shs.1,930,772,578

reported in my previous year’s audit

report.

The Councils’ management is once again

called upon to strengthen the procure-

ment processes in order to obtain value

for money in funds used on this area.

Pursuant to Order No. 281 of LAFM of

1997, the respective Councils should

appoint contract officers to be specifical-

ly responsible for the management of

each contract and the mornitoring of con-

tracts performance.

The Ministry of Informa-

tion, Culture and Sports

(MICS) was found not

publishing tender awards in

2009/10 as required by the law

for reason that it was expen-

sive, the report by PPRA on

post-audit review released in

September 2010, revealed.

According to the report, the

action by the Ministry not to

publish, contravened the public

procurement act and regula-

tions, which require all tender

awards by procuring entities to

be published. In addition,

copies of notifications of

awards were not sent to PPRA

for posting on website and

journal as required by section

55(8) of the public procure-

ment act which states:

‘The procuring entity shall

notify the Authority, within the

time set out in the Regulations

made under this Act, the name

of the person or body to whom

the contract is awarded, the

amount of tender or proposal

and the date on which the

award was made’.

As a result of the Ministry’s

failure to comply with the

above provision, Regulation

21(1) of Government Notice

no. 97 which states that ‘The

Authority shall publish in the

gazette, local newspapers of

wide circulation in United

Republic of Tanzania, and in

its journal and website, the

names of those who have been

awarded the contract, the con-

tract amount, the date when

the award was made, contract

period, and the final contract

amount paid to the supplier,

contractor, or service provider

and the price at which the

assets disposed off by tender

have been sold’, could not be

implemented by the Authority.

By and large, the Ministry has

improved in complying with

public procurement require-

ments as indicated by 58%

compliance level in 2009/10 as

compared to 23% in 2007/08.

A complete audit follow up

report for MICS starts on page

6.

Ministry claims tender publication expensive

Professor Roberts elaborated

to the participants that the role

of Regulation is to improve the

private sector performance in

the pharmaceutical sector in

which case he emphasized on

developing a proper regulatory

strategy that is aimed at low

hanging fruits, high value tar-

gets, public and political sup-

port and behaviours that can

easily be noticed.

The workshop finally agreed

on seven priority areas to

address governance issues in

pharmaceutical procurement,

namely; improved information

flow in pharmaceutical

Procurement and Supply

Chain Management (PSCM),

improved mobile drug track-

ing, enhancing good gover-

nance in the health sector,

multi-sectoral PSCM capacity

building, corporatization of

pharmaceutical procurement

agencies, citizen empower-

ment for access to medicine,

and recognizing multi-stake-

holder groups as a legitimate

partner to improvement of

good governance in pharma-

ceutical procurement. Each

country chose its priority area

and prepared its key mile-

stones and activities including

the timeframe. The action

plans will further be refined in

subsequent country meetings

and WBI will continue to offer

support to such initiatives.

Tanzania was represented by a

multi-stakeholder group of 11

people from PPRA, TFDA,

MSD, Private Sector, Univer-

sities, and CSOs.

To facilitate information shar-

ing and consultations, WBI has

on 11th April 2011 launched an

electronic platform called

ENEPP. The platform is acces-

sible at www.enepp.net. Pro-

curement practitioners can

access a wealth of information

about the initiative reported

here upon registration.

PROCUREMENT REPORTS

Procurement audit follow-up results for financial year 2009/10On 17th September 2010, the Monitoring and Compliance Committee of the Board of

Directors of PPRA approved the report on the audit follow-up exercise which was conducted

in 91 procuring entities to assess implementation of audit recommendations issued after the

procurement audits in the financial years 2007/08 and 2008/09. The follow-up audits indicat-

ed a remarkable compliance improvement from average levels of compliance of 50% and

55% in the financial years 2007/2008 and 2008/09 respectively, to an average level of com-

pliance of 73% which was above the target. PPRA had a target of ensuring that the average

compliance level of procuring entities reaches at least 69% by the end of the FY 2009/10 and

eventually 80% by the end of the financial year 2010/11.

This report is a continuation of results of 91 audited procuring entities.

Ministry of Information Culture and Sport (MICS)

After the assessment, it was observed that the average level of compliance of the entity

increased from 23% to 58%. On one hand, the performance was above the target of 69% in

six out of thirteen indicators namely: Establishment and Composition of Tender Board;

Advertisement of Bid Opportunities; Time for Preparation of Bids; Use of appropriate meth-

ods of procurement; Quality assurance and Contract Implementation. On the other hand, the

average performance was below the target on the following seven indicators: Establishment

and Composition of PMU; Functioning of AO, TB, PMU and User Department; Preparation

of Annual Procurement Plan; Complying to compulsory approvals; Publication of contract

awards; Use of Standard Tender Documents; Records Management.

Observations during the 2007/2008financial year procurement audit

Observations during the 2009/2010financial year audit follow-up

Establishment and Composition of Tender

Board

MTB was in place but had 6 members instead of

the 8 members as required under Section 28(2) and

Second Schedule of the PPA No.21 of 2004.

Establishment and Composition of Tender

Board

Permanent Secretary appointed the Chairperson and

six other Heads of Departments to be members of

MTB accordance with the requirements of Section

28, 33(b) and the Second Schedule of PPA of 2004.

However, there was no formal appointment of

Secretary to MTB verified for audit.

Establishment and Composition of PMU

PMU was not existing in accordance with the

requirements of the PPA No. 21, 2004 and its

Regulation of 2005.

Establishment and Composition of PMU

PMU had been established with all composition

Section 33(c) 34(1) and (2) of PPA No.21 of 2004,

however all PMU members continued working with

their core offices, PMU was not seen as full time job.

PMU did have adequate tools, spacious and con-

ducive office and spaces for proper carrying out their

duties. However, there were no room to maintain and

archive records.

Functioning of AO, TB and PMU

50 out of 151 tenders were concluded without

functional interference, it was recommended that

PE should ensure all the functions and power for

each individual activity are not interfered.

Functioning of AO, TB and PMU

It was noted interference of powers and responsibil-

ities between AO, TB, PMU and Userv Department

still exist as shown below:-

• Some Staff from User Department intervened with

function PMU.

• Members of TB Secretariat were coming from staff

outside PMU.

• Procurement Contract files were maintained by

General Registry instead of PMU contrary to

Section 35(m) of PPA 2004.

• Chairperson of MTB had been communicating

award and signing letters of Unsuccessful Bidders

contrary to Section 38 of PPA of 2004.

• Negotiation Team was appointed by AO instead of

Preparation of Annual Procurement Plan

The APPs were not prepared, and also not sent to

PPRA as required under Section 45 and

Regulations 46 and 48 of GN 97 of PPA 2004.

Preparation of Annual Procurement Plan

PMU prepared APP FY 2009/2010 with limited

knowledge on both methodology of preparing and

setting strategies of procurement plans. The plan

described list of individual items without being prop-

erly aggregated, a single tender with no Lots which

were implemented were procured from more than

one supplier.

The PMU did not also update APP accordingly; ten-

der stated as Minor works, however, during imple-

mentation quoted Restricted Tendering Method at

Assessment of the implementation of specific audit recommendations

Observations during the 2007/2008financial year procurement audit

Observations during the 2009/2010financial year audit follow-up

Advertisement of Bid Opportunities

3 out of 151 contracts were advertised.

Advertisement of Bid Opportunities

All tenders under open competitive method were

publicly advertised and submitted to PPRA for pub-

lications.

Publication of Awards

Publication of awarded contracts were not substan-

tiated as having been done contrary to the require-

ment under Regulation 97 (12) of GN. No. 97 of

2005.

Publication of Awards

The Ministry claimed publications of tender awards

were expensive, for FY 2009/2010 no procurement

awards were disclosed to the public and there was

copies of notification of awards letter, submitted to

Authority for posting into PPRA website and

Procurement Journal contrary to Section 55(8) of

PPA of 2004 and Regulation 21(1) of GN 97 of

2005.

Time for Preparation of Bids

NCT was 30 days, shopping more than 7 days.

Time for Preparation of Bids

Most tenders and quotations reviewed and which

required wide attraction of bidders were provided

sufficient time as per the Third Schedule of GN No.

97 of 2005.

Methods of Procurement

31 contracts under Direct shopping had cummula-

tive total of T.shs 50,000,000/=, threshold 117

exceeded annual threshold under Direct shopping

stated in Second Schedule of GN No. 97 of 2005.

Methods of Procurement

Most procurement contracts reviewed were using

appropriately authorized methods of procurement in

accordance with the limits of application in Second

Schedule of GN 97 of 2005. However, during

implementation processes most tender diverted

from proposed NCT to RT method of procurement.

Use of Standard Tender Documents

PE did not make use of standard tender documents

issued by PPRA.

Use of Standard Tender Documents

PE used appropriately standard solicitation docu-

ments for goods, works and non-consultancy servic-

es issued by PPRA as provided under Regulations 83

of GN 97 of 2005. But most of required BDS were

improperly amended by the PMU and at time com-

bined nine (9) packages in form of lots for Goods,

and Provision of Services in a single BD for Goods,

contrary to Regulation 83(3) and (4) of GN 97 of

2005.

Record Keeping

The audit revealed that all tenders have no complete

records.

Record Keeping

The system of Record Keeping generally is poor,

Procurement Contract Files were maintained in the

Registry rather than in PMU custodian.

Quality Assurance

No evidence for goods Inspection Committee con-

trary to Regulations 126 (1) and 127 of GN 97 of

2005.

Quality Assurance

The following was observed currently:

• PE appointed Standing Inspection and Acceptances

Committee of seven (7) members.

• Goods were inspected at each store before they

were received by User Department, however,

PROCUREMENT REPORTS

Procurement audit follow-up resultsfor financial year 2009/10

Continued from page 6

Observations during the 2007/2008financial year procurement audit

Observations during the 2009/2010financial year audit follow-up

Contarct Implementation

43 out 151 contracts which complied to Terms and

Conditions of the signed contract concluding that there

is supervision of works contracts.

Contarct Implementation

The follow up team observed that contracts

implementation compliance were for some proj-

ects only. Most payment documents to deter-

mine the set in terms and conditions of contract

fulfilment were not available.

Other issues observeda) The Ministry PMU staff are well trained,

academic qualified and experience in sup-

plies roles, nevertheless prove weakness

in their understanding of salient features

of PPA No. 21 of 2004 and its Regulations

of 2005. It is hereby advised that, the PE

has to build capacity of MTB members,

PMU and staff from User departments on

PPA and its Regulations applications to

cope effectively with procurement

arrangements.

b) Regulation 90(4) of GN 97 and

Regulation 58 of GN 98 of 2005 requires

Evaluation Committee to evaluate tenders

using explicitly Terms and Conditions set

in bidding documents. It was noted that

failure to amend appropriately

Qualification and Evaluation criteria in

the Tender Evaluation Committee, result-

ed to evaluators using insufficient qualifi-

cation and evaluation criteria. For exam-

ple, in consultancy services, Proposal

Data Sheet had no sub criteria inserted to

be appropriately used by evaluators to

give the award the best responsive bidder.

Recommendationsa) PE should ensure that capacity building is

done to all dealing with procurements.

AO should carry out in-house training to

enable members of MTB, PMU and user

departments comprehend the salient fea-

tures of PPA 2004 and its Regulations

2005, mechanism of preparing Annual

Procurement Plan and their effective con-

tribution towards effective implementa-

tion of procurement activities;

b) AO should allocate a separate office that

could be used to improve procurements

archive and smoothen record keeping and

reporting by having all information relat-

ed to tenders/contracts in one file; includ-

ing the necessary supporting and adminis-

trative staff;

c) PMU is streamlined in terms of command

by reporting directly to AO and working

as department and not committee. Carry

out situational analysis to identify all

those engaged in procurement activities

in the PE, identify skills needed to staff it

appropriately;

d) PE should ensure PMU is involved in con-

tributing towards preparing Medium

Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF)

and when preparing Annual Procurement

Plan, user department do participate to

clarify objectives. APP should be pre-

pared using standard templates issued by

PPRA as it has been done in 2010/2011

and is being updated whenever one activ-

ity is accomplished;

e) PE should ensure that when AO delegates

his authority as CEO should be done to

person outside members of TB or PMU to

avoid intervention with functions of each

organ in procurement process;

f) TB should ensure that approves all solici-

tation documents and that PMU does not

delete some rows or amend improperly

ITT in BDS when preparing solicitation

documents, and all modified procurement

contract and solicitation documents are

ratified by the competent State Attorney

and PPRA respectively;

g) PE should ensure that there is proper filing

system established within the

Procurement Management Unit. The

PMU should ensure that each

Procurement Contract File must include

all information concerning procurement

process, contracts management, inspec-

tion and acceptance reports and payment

documents;

h) Inspection teams for the purpose of veri-

fying the authenticity of the goods , works

and non-consultancy services are formu-

lated as when need arise and the team pre-

pares inspection and acceptance reports

performed; and

i) PE must ensure that contracts are imple-

mented according to the terms and condi-

tions agreed.
