- Description
- The study focused on the factors influencing the procurement processes in the Supply Chain Management. The empirical part of the study was conducted at the Eastern Cape Provincial Planning and Treasury at Bhisho. The Supply Chain Management (SCM) is the organisation’s identification, acquisition, access, positioning and management of resources in order to attain its objectives. Supply Chain Management System is the South African reform process that the South African Government developed, for sound management of procurement activities within government. Section 195 (1) of the Constitution of South Africa, 1996 (Act 108 of 1996), sets out the basic values and principles governing public administration which include a high standard of professionalism, efficiency, economic and effective use of resources, and promoting transparency at all times. Section 217 (1) of the Constitution further states that when an organ of state contracts for goods and/or services it must do so in accordance with the system which is fair, equitable, transparent, competitive and cost effective. Treasury Regulation 16A.6 on the procurement of goods and services provides that procurement either by way of quotations or through competitive bidding processes must be within the thresholds as determined by the National Treasury, and in the case of procurement through bidding processes, the SCM system must provide for the establishment, composition and functioning of Bid Specification, Evaluation and Adjudication Committees. The departmental processes were measured against the applicable prescripts and the study revealed that the departmental processes were in line with the applicable legislation. Areas of concerns were however raised where the department needs to come up with innovative ways to implement the procurement processes to be economical and also to train the officials involved in procurement.
