Abstract
This study presents experience of implementing contract management risks of Major Capital Projects (MCP) in Public Sector in Tanzania (Tanzania Building Agency). It aimed to assess the way government institutions use contract management risks plan and treatments to avoid the worst impact of those risks so as to encourage a focus on outcomes and results of Major Capital Projects (MCP) in Public Sector. The study used multiple methodologies including survey questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and documentation analysis so as to increase richness of the research findings.
It was found that most of the TBA staff know the importance of Contract Management Risk management system but they acknowledged that there is no formal existence of this system. It was also observed that, the agency is facing four categories of Contract Management risks in its MCP which are on the Contract Management Capability, Contractors' performance, changes of circumstance and requirements and stakeholders' relationship. Similarly, their treatments were not done in a formal manner and in that sense very little has been done to address them. An overall conclusion is that the Tanzania Building Agency lacks an effective, integrated risk-management approach to manage Major Capital Projects. The study identified significant problems in the Agency's risk-mitigation activities and processes. A Major Capital Project needs to have an action plan for implementing integrated risk management that indicates to the senior management how it will proceed—who is responsible for doing what, the sequence and timing of key activities, the nature and extent of the resources required.
