Electronic procurement (E-procurement) is one of the rapidly expanding digital form of
procurement in both public and private institutions in Kenya and Tanzania. E-procurement
is used by most public and private institutions to strengthen buyer-supplier relationships,
cut transaction costs, eliminate maverick purchases, increase organizational coordination,
and supply chain performance. It is perceived that most of the business operations were
automated during the COVID-19 era to minimize the spread of novel corona virus.
Therefore, this study intended to do a thorough empirical literature review on the
determinants of E-procurement adoption in Kenyan and Tanzanian institutions during the
COVID-19 era.
