Abstract
This study examines the implication of political regime change on public procurement practices in Tanzania. The study was guided by three hypothesis in which independent variables were government resources control, inclusion of digital system and reduction of duties on government entities and dependent variable was public procurement practices.
The study was mainly guided by quantitative research design whereas survey was the main stategy of inquiry. Data that informed the study was collected from 100 respondents working with TANROADS using questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple regression analysis were performed to reveal the existing relationship between the study variables. Results found that all three independent variables are positive and statistical significant in explaining the independent variable. This implies that a public procurement practice in Tanzania is strongly influenced by political regime change variables which are: government resources control, inclusion of digital system and reduction of duties on government entities. Therefore, it is recommended that the efforts which have been employed by the government as a result of regime change pattern in Tanzania on public procurement practices must be well embraced and improved further since they assure the realization of sufficient and adequate practices in government entities in line with public procurement for that matter. In that case, since the study has performed quantitatively, may also be envisaged qualitatively to facilitate knowledge generation.
