Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions regarding public procurement portals and ICT supply services in Tanzania.

What is the difference between NeST and TANePS?

NeST is Tanzania's new National e-Procurement System, built by the government to manage the complete procurement cycle, including e-contracting, e-payments, and e-catalogue. It fully replaced TANePS, which was retired in July 2023. All government bids must now run through NeST.

How do I register my company with the Government Procurement Services Agency (GPSA)?

To register with GPSA, your company must hold active BRELA credentials, a TRA Tax Clearance, and a valid business license. We compile and file these materials through the GPSA portal to secure your approved status.

What are the key eligibility requirements to participate in public tenders?

Bidders must hold active BRELA and TRA registrations, a current municipal business license, a clean tax history, and active profiles on the NeST portal. Some tenders also require sector-specific certificates (like CRB, ERB, or TCRA).

How long does the NeST portal registration and verification process take?

NeST registration takes approximately 3 to 5 business days, assuming all uploaded documents (TIN, certificate of incorporation, business license, and directors' NIDA details) are accurate and match perfectly.

What kinds of ICT hardware and technology supply can Upcraft procure?

We procure a wide range of enterprise equipment, including rack servers, UPS backups, managed switches, enterprise database licenses, cloud storage setups, and complete business cybersecurity packages.

Does Upcraft assist with bid security, bank guarantees, or joint venture (JV) agreements?

Yes. We advise clients on structuring required bank guarantees, bid bonds, and joint-venture frameworks to ensure compliance with the target tender guidelines.
