- Description
- The purpose of this mini-dissertation is to understand the perception of end users on the public procurement system challenges in the Eastern Cape Department of Transport, addressing the extent to which the procurement systems have resulted in disgruntlement of end-users. The public sector procurement function continues to face growing pressures to reform current procurement process, the reform comes with changes which some public officials are unable to adapt to. The uncertainty and the complexity of the reforms to a certain extent bring resistance to the end users whose concern is to meet delivery targets for a particular financial year. Public procurement is still faced with somewhat of an “identity crisis”, people still see the function as clerical or technical in nature. The remaining challenge is to convince these individuals that procurement is a strategic function. This study however, seeks to investigate the level of understanding of procurement prescripts and relevant legislations by end users and the unnatural working relationship with SCM office.
