Over 190 candidates pass PSPTB examinations
DODOMA: THE Procurement and Supplies Professionals and Technical Board (PSPTB) has announced the results of the August 2025 examinations, with 192 candidates, representing 50.5 per cent passing, while only four candidates, or one per cent, failed.
Speaking in Dodoma on Sunday, PSPTB Executive Director Mr Godfrey Mbanyi revealed that out of 416 registered candidates, 382 sat for the exams, with 34 absent due to various reasons.
He noted that 186 candidates (48.7 per cent) will be required to re-sit their exams, while the four who failed must restart their studies at the respective levels.
“In line with legal requirements, curriculum provisions and longstanding requests from stakeholders, the Board conducted mid-session examinations for the first time,” Mr Mbanyi explained.
He said the mid-session exams were introduced to give re-sitters an opportunity to retake their papers and to allow eligible candidates to complete pending exams and qualify for certification.

Mr Mbanyi further said that the board nullified the results of four candidates at the CPSP level caught engaging in examination malpractice.
“These candidates entered the examination rooms with unauthorised materials suspected to be used for cheating,” he said, adding that the Board of Directors has instructed the Registration and Disciplinary Committee to handle the matter according to regulations.
He stressed that the affected candidates will have the right to appeal, but if found guilty, they will face severe disciplinary measures as stipulated by law.
Mr Mbanyi urged those who did not achieve the required pass marks to intensify their preparations for the next exam session scheduled for November 2025.
He also encouraged graduates to register and sit for the board’s professional examinations without fear, urging parents, sponsors and employers to support candidates by paying preparation and examination fees to increase the number of procurement and supplies professionals.
At the same time, he warned candidates against malpractice, emphasising that the board will take stern action to protect the profession’s integrity.
