“…Power purchase agreements have been affected due to poor negotiation practices. It was reported that lack of due diligence during the time of procurement and negotiation of power purchase agreements resulted in an increase in indirect costs due to prolonged and legal disputes (Peng and Poudineh, 2017).

PurposeThis paper analyzes procurement negotiators' skills and attributes by considering perceptions of procurement professionals in Tanzania.Design/methodology/approachThis study employed a cross-sectional research design in which procurement professionals' opinions were collected through questionnaires. The study proposed that the skills and attributes of procurement negotiators are necessary for negotiation proceedings, and they were tested through confirmatory factor analysis.FindingsFindings suggest that listening skills, persuasion skills, communication skills and planning skills are all important skills that contribute to overall procurement negotiation skills. Furthermore, trust, flexibility, honesty and emotion are statistically determined to be necessary attributes for procurement negotiators. All of the observed variables were statistically significant (p < 0.001) and contributed positively to explaining the skills and attributes of procurement negotiators.Research limitations/implicationsThe sample included only respondents from a single country. This may affect the generalization of results as there is a variation in institutional regulatory compliance governing public procurement undertakings in different countries. Also, the study did not include the outcome of negotiation proceedings and relied only on opinions collected from the procurement professionals in Tanzania.Practical implicationsThis study's findings provide suggestions for practitioners on the necessary skills and attributes of procurement negotiators that might be well considered when appointing members of negotiation teams for procurement deals.Originality/valueThis paper adds value to the existing literature on the necessary skills and attributes of members of negotiation teams for procurement undertakings in the public sector.

“…Looking first at the general literature on investment decision-making, work on the energy sector is sparse in business journals but has received more coverage in policy and utilities journals. For example, Peng and Poudineh (2017) examined the use of investment vehicles in the developing sector in Tanzania to fund increased plant capacity in a state-owned utility company through independent power plants, energy power producers, small power producers and the increase in public-private partnerships with mainly Chinese companies. Although this paper does not examine the decision-making process itself, it does highlight the growing dependency on government and international partnership investments.…”
