Advertisements for Government tenders no longer in newspapers

As published in Times Live on 18 Feb 16:

“The president, during his reply to the State of the Nation Address debate, said the use of a tender portal would be compulsory for all departments from April 1 (2016).

This means that all tenders will be advertised in one place and will be accessed free of charge.

Government tenders will thus no longer be advertised in newspapers and this will be another cost saver for government.

The office of the chief procurement officer was also operational and all suppliers doing business with government would only have to register once off.

This reduces the cost for suppliers as they do not have to go to multiple institutions if they wish to do business with government.

Statistics showed that procurement reforms are already bearing fruits and saving the state hundreds of millions of Rands.

For example, school building designs have been standardized nationally… we will no longer be building schools at a cost above R30 million.”
