Why are not all tenders going through the open tender system?
25 September 2019
It is concerning that the Gauteng Provincial Treasury only managed to process 96% of tenders through the open tender system.
This is according to the GPT’s annual report for the 2018/2019 financial year.
GPT implemented the open tender process system in all 14 departments and seven entities as part of strengthening supply chain management in the province.
By not ensuring that all tenders go through the open tender process, it opens up the tender system to corruption. This is also hindering the development of township businesses.
