DA calls on Gauteng MEC for Finance to ensure departments adhere to procurement and SCM procedures
2 July 2020
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Gauteng is calling on the MEC for Finance and e-Government Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko to ensure that government departments adhere to the procurement laws and Supply Chain Management (SCM) policy of the Gauteng Provincial Government (GPG).
During this Covid-19 pandemic some departments may need to procure emergency goods and services and where this is needed departments should ensure that they follow a transparent procurement process.
In addition, the MEC should also ensure that municipalities adhere to procurement and SCM policies when procuring goods and services needed as part of their response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Adherence to the procurement laws and SCM policies will ensure that particularly small businesses and township businesses which qualify are able to put in a tender bid for the goods and services required.
