This reports examines the importance of
efficient public procurement for the national economy for
South Africa. The country faces a unique task of merging a
dual economy consisting of the exiting "main stream
economy" and, an "emerging economy". To
provide a national environment for optimal economic
development; the government planned to mold the two
economies into a sustainable unified growth pattern.
Following are main recommendations for the near term. A
national uniform procurement policy is currently being put
in place, which will be applicable to all organs of state.
Preparation of a draft for a national legislative/regulatory
framework for public procurement to establish uniformity in
tender procedures, policies and control measures. Creation
of a national procurement compliance office in the National
Treasury, which would be responsible only for procurement
policy formulation, laws and procedures, provisions of
standard bidding documents and contracts, oversight on
implementation by all organs of state, establishment of a
procurement data capturing system, and training of
procurement staff. Decision implementation to abolish the
Tender Boards and have their functions assumed by the
responsible organs of state at the national, provincial, and
local levels. Establish under the National Public Housing
Scheme a competitive procedure for the award of contracts
development to obtain savings in the expenditure of fiscal
revenues. Abolish the industrial participation program which
conflicts with the basic principles of efficient, fair, and
transparent procurement. Revise the preferential procurement
regulations to provide for "graduation" of
previously disadvantaged enterprises when they have reached
a certain turn over rate to avoid that only an elite group
continues to benefit from the system. |
