Abstract

The study focused on the variables affecting Tanzania's adoption of sustainable procurement. It was conducted at Tanzania electric Supply co. Ltd - Kinondoni Office. The specific goals were to evaluate how the legal framework affected the implementation of sustainable procurement, how stakeholder competence affected the implementation of sustainable procurement, and how financial resources affected the implementation of sustainable procurement. A cross-section research design was used. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire. Simple random sampling was employed to obtain a sample of 167. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics through SPSS version 23. The finding relating to the first objective revealed that compliance level in procurement audit has a significant and positive effect on organization performance. Findings showed that the presence of a proper legal framework, the availability of competent stakeholders, and adequate financial resources increased the effectiveness of the adoption of sustainable procurement practices in Tanzanian public organizations. Correlation analysis indicated legal framework, stakeholder competence and financial resources as having significant effects on the implementation of sustainable procurement in Tanzania. The study concludes that legal framework, stakeholder competence and financial resources had major contributions to the implementation of sustainable procurement practices in Tanzania. It is recommended that to effectively implement sustainable procurement, TANESCO, policymakers, and other stakeholders should invest more in gaining procurement competence for their employees, develop an appropriate legal framework that serves as guidelines for practitioners, and allocate adequate financial resources. Keywords: Sustainable procurement, Financial resources, Stakeholder’s competence
