Latest Government Tenders in Tanzania: Opportunities via NeST (November 2025)

Government procurement in Tanzania offers a steady stream of opportunities for businesses, suppliers, and service providers looking to partner with public entities. At the heart of this process is the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA), an independent body established under the Public Procurement Act to oversee, regulate, and promote fair, transparent, and efficient public procurement practices across the country. PPRA ensures accountability, combats corruption, and supports value for money in government spending.

To modernize and streamline these processes, PPRA manages the National e-Procurement System (NeST), a digital platform accessible at nest.go.tz. NeST enables online tender publication, bidding, evaluation, and award notifications, making it easier for eligible participants to engage without the hassles of paper-based systems. Launched to enhance accessibility and reduce delays, NeST is now the go-to hub for all national tenders. In this post, we'll dive into the freshest listings from NeST as of November 2025, giving you the details you need to jump in.
