Ndio hivyo nashangaa kwanini hawajatembelea Kenya wakati wanyama wanaowafata Tanzania, kenya wapo pia

Mjiulize, kwanini watalii wengi wanatumia Nairobi kama connection tu to tanzania

ONE-STOP APP

Tanzania: Zabuni app shaking up procurement landscape​

A free procurement app is transforming the tenders landscape in Tanzania, broadening supplier participation due to an increased supply of data.

In 2015, when Victor Vincent graduated with a bachelor’s in business studies from Tumaini University in northern Tanzania, he didn’t think that six years later he’d be shaking up how the government and private sector spend money.

Vincent’s creation, the Zabuni app, links government and private sector contractors with suppliers throughout Tanzania. More than 4,000 suppliers had registered with Zabuni as of late April 2021.

“Many are just startups,” says Vincent, 30, a startup entrepreneur based in the commercial hub of Dar es Salaam.

One of Zabuni’s key unique selling propositions (apart from being free for all end users) is that it collates all tenders from the government, the private sector and international development in one place. This gives suppliers a reference point for new opportunities. Within half an hour of this editor downloading the Zabuni app, at least 10 new tenders had been published.

​

Continuation of paper-based system​

Tanzanian law dictates that all public procurement entities should publish tenders, awards and related procurement information on the Tanzanian National E-Procurement System (TANePS), which is the online portal managed by the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA).

"Technology is still something new in Tanzania.

“Despite the potential provided by e-procurement, Tanzania is yet to fully migrate all its procurement systems,” said Hivos – a netherlands-based NGO – in a 2019 report. It adds that “only 71 procuring entities out of 540 procuring entities have started to use the platform, pointing out continuation of the electronic and paper-based system.”

Zabuni (which means ‘tenders’ in Swahili) does not have a formal relationship with TANePS, although it does source data from the national procurement agency’s portal. “Other agencies just send us their tenders and procurement information directly,” says Vincent.

Cost is a factor in the reluctance of public procurement entities to publish data through the traditional portals. Before Zabuni, government tenders were published in the state-owned newspaper Mwananchi, as well as other media, or on the national procurement portal. These mediums all charge entities to publish their data, providing little incentive for compliance.

Zabuni does not charge contractors to publish tenders yet some data can still be hard to source. “Not all procurement entities are waiting to give you information,” says Vincent. “Some will say: ‘We don’t have to give it to you’ and they won’t.”

Zabuni has helped many suppliers based outside of Dar es Salaam to engage in the national procurement landscape. While the majority of Zabuni’s users – 76% – are based in Dar es Salaam, at least 24% of users are from outside the port hub, according to Vincent.

The entrepreneur, originally from Kagera – a town on Lake Victoria – says all kinds of sectors use Zabuni. Some in particular are thriving: ICT, ICT equipment, medical equipment, cleaning services, fumigation and spare parts are but a few examples, adds the Zabuni founder. “Young entrepreneurs are benefitting the most,” he told The Africa Report in a telephone interview from Dar es Salaam.

​

Giving Zabuni traction​

Alfred Manyara, a 28-year-old construction engineer working on contracts for government projects, says he uses Zabuni to source materials, recruit personnel and monitor the competition. “Zabuni publishes which companies have won awards for materials,” says Manyara: this helps him understand which suppliers are fast, cheap and reliable.

“A lot of tenders with a value below TSh1bn ($431,261) are not published on the government procurement website,” says Manyara. He adds that not everybody has access to state-owned dailies where many tenders are published. Zabuni does advertise these kinds of tenders, which is perhaps why SMEs have given Zabuni traction.

“I use Zabuni to find work opportunities,” says Henri Buuni, 32, owner of Vikweli Digital – a web development company based in Morogoro. Buuni says he has already won two contracts on Zabuni. “I also use it to contract when I need X, Y or Z.” In the absence of a developed digital landscape serving Tanzania’s workforce, Zabuni inadvertently acts as both a procurement portal and a recruitment and jobs portal.

Following a partnership with Hivos in April 2020 – and consultations with Open Contracting Partnership – Zabuni began to publish procurement data in September 2020 as Open Contracting Data Standard, the global standard. This facilitates monitoring by civil society organisations, international comparisons, and general data flow.

Zabuni’s founder says future steps include launching more content in Swahili and monetising the app to cover overhead costs. Vincent says the growth has not however compromised the app’s security or integrity: he has not identified any cases of fraud or manipulation so far.

For now, he is enjoying the feedback he is getting from contractors: procuring entities are saving time. Vincent says the number of bidders is increasing because many new suppliers are being brought into the procurement landscape.

“Technology is still something new in Tanzania,” concludes Vincent. “But we have been able to save time and money for everyone by getting all the data in one place.” Zabuni, in the words of its website, aims to be ‘the richest place for procurement information in Tanzania.’

Ndio hivyo nashangaa kwanini hawajatembelea Kenya wakati wanyama wanaowafata Tanzania, kenya wapo pia

Mjiulize, kwanini watalii wengi wanatumia Nairobi kama connection tu to tanzania

Mimi binafsi nataka hata hiyo $600-1000 ya tiketi!

Tukiweka mipango mizuri hata hii New York to Nairobi flight inapaswa kuwa Air Tanzania! Ila kufanya hio tunapaswa kuwa na long route aircraft (B787s or A330 neos) zisizopungua 10 maana saahii tayari route ya China itakayoambatana na Bangkok aircraft hazitoshi na kama tutaenda London pia ina maana B787s au A330 neos zinapaswa kuwa 5-6 at least kabla ya kwenda New York! It is safe kusema tunapaswa kuwa na kama 12 (B787or a mix with A330 neos) to be a serious aviator and fully benefit from our tourism! Mama asithubutu kufungua Bolongoja gate!


A little reminder...

Domestic market tayari tunayo, ATCL wapewe rights na uwezo wa kujibudumia wenyewe, sijui mkataba wa swissport ni wa miaka mingapi lakini literally hiyo huduma ingepaswa kutolewa na ATCL kwenye viwanja vyote

Nimeona juzi wapewa lounge ni hatua nzuri, kabla ya kuelekea kujiimarisha kwenye Regional routes na hatimae overseas kama Newyork, ATCL inapaswa kutengenezewa mazingira mazuri zaidi nyumbani kuhusika na shughuli zote za airlines kwenye Airports zote Tanzania

Tulikua na matumaini makubwa awali ila baada ya kauli ya CAG naona kama future ya ATCL ni wao wenyewe wagangamale, wasitegemee mbeleko kama zamani sababu wa kuwabeba hayupo.

Pandemic imeharibu mengi sana kwenye airlines business, lakini bado wana potential ya kufika huko.

Angalia video hiyo, hawajapoteza hata second huko kwenye slums

Kumbe hujui chochote kuhusu airline business, lazima wapitie nairobi.

Umeshaiona growth plan ya ATCL? Ina route ya London after Guangzhou ndo maana nasisitiza kununua long route aircraft maana watalii (abiria wakuu) wako huko! Local market sidhani kama itailinda saana Air Tanzania kulipa uwekezaji unaofanyika hata kama Air Tanzania itamiliki soko 90% (kumbuka kuna Precisionair na many charter flights pia)! Ukisikiliza hiyo clip kitu cha kwanza walichoongea hao watalii ni umbali wa flight (jumlisha na connection)! Sasa kama tunataka tuwe na watalii 5 mln in the near soon, hatuwezi kuacha fursa ya kuwaleta hao watalii yaani hata kama ni route 3 kwa wiki! Maji ukiyavulia nguo sharti uyaoge!

Ni wapi umesikia eti hawakutembelea Kenya before coming to Tanganyika? Have you heard any tourist saying so in that video ama hizi zote umetoa tu akilini?

Secondly, the fact that these tourists can only come to Tanzania through Kenya/Nairobi only confirms what we've been saying here all along - that Kenya and Nairobi in particular is the region's aviation hub. Does this even bother you?
