Section 22 of the Electronic and Postal Communications (Licensing) Regulations stipulates that foreign investment in the telecommunications sector is restricted to a maximum of 75%

TTCL (Tanzania Telecommunications Company Limited) is a state-owned telecommunications company in Tanzania that offers fixed-line, mobile, broadband internet, and data services. The company also has a fibre optic network throughout the country, enabling it to offer high-speed connectivity services to businesses and homes. TTCL has been a key player in the expansion of Tanzania's telecommunications infrastructure and the promotion of internet access and other telecommunications services throughout the country.
TTCL was privatised in February 2001, when a Consortium MSI of the Netherlands and Detecon of Germany acquired 35% shares of the company from the Government of Tanzania. However, the Government of Tanzania fully repossessed TTCL ownership by 100% from June 2016. Tanzanian government owns 40% of Bharti Airtel. The Government of Zanzibar (a partly self-governing state in Tanzania) owns a 15% stake in Zanzibar Telecom (Zantel).
It is reported that the government's effort to privatise TTCL has stalled. TTCL has been given management of the national fibre backbone and will service all districts; private operators must contract for service with TTCL. In addition, investors report that though the government has authorised some private companies to build terrestrial fibre networks, governing regulations remain unclear and inconsistently applied.

Tanzania is not a signatory of the 1996 World Trade Organization (WTO) Information Technology Agreement (ITA) nor the 2015 expansion (ITA II).

It is reported that Tanzania mandates functional and accounting separation for operators with significant market power (SMP) in the telecom market.

According to Art. 56.1 of the Public Procurement Act 2023, tenderers may participate in procurement proceedings regardless of nationality, unless the procuring entity restricts participation based on nationality as permitted under this Act, accompanying regulations, or other applicable laws. Art. 57 further stipulates that when a Tanzanian public body fully funds a procurement, contracts for works, goods, or services valued at or below TZS 1,500,000,000 (approx. USD 566,976) must be reserved exclusively for local individuals or firms.
Additionally, Section 6 of the Public Procurement Regulations 2013 (which remain in effect until new regulations are enacted under Art. 131 of the 2023 Act) prohibits procuring entities from denying prequalification to firms unless they lack legal capacity, financial capability, or sufficient experience to perform the contract. Nationality cannot be grounds for denial unless commercial relations with the firm’s country are explicitly restricted by Tanzanian laws or regulations. However, under Section 150.1, foreign firms may only participate in international competitive tenders. International competitive tendering is required when (i) payments are made partially or entirely in a foreign currency or (ii) broad international participation is sought, irrespective of the estimated value of the goods or works to be procured.

According to Art. 56.2 of the Public Procurement Act 2023, the procuring entity shall grant a margin of preference for the benefit of tenders for certain goods manufactured in Tanzania, for works by Tanzania contractors, or services provided by Tanzania consultants, when procuring goods, works, or services by means of international or national tendering or when evaluating and comparing tenders, provided that this is clearly stated in the tender documents.
Regarding goods, according to Art. 60 of the Public Procurement Act 2023 and Art. 37 of the Public Procurement Regulations 2013 (which remain in effect until the publication of new regulations as mandated by Art. 131 of the Public Procurement Act 2023), the margin of preference can go up to 15% for domestically manufactured or produced goods and related services in contracts awarded through international or national competitive tendering.
Regarding contracts for works, consultancy or non-consultancy services, the procuring entity shall grant a margin of preference of up to 10% to local firms or association between local and foreign firms, according to Section 34 of the Public Procurement Regulations 2013.

According to Art. 64 of the Public Procurement Act, purchasing body shall allocate a percentage of its annual procurement for special social groups in accordance with the procedures specified in the regulations. In making the regulations the Minister shall consult with the ministries responsible for special groups. For the purposes of this section, "special groups" include women, youth, the elderly and persons with special needs.
