The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality’s Supply Chain Management Sub-directorate is embarking on a road show targeting present and potential service providers next week in an effort to enhance working relations with companies. The first meeting takes place on Monday, 28 November and ends on Monday, 5 December.
Standing Committee Chairman for Budget and Financial Planning, Cllr Balu Naran, said this extensive engagement programme will go a long way towards ensuring a better understanding of Supply Chain Management processes.
“Topics such as the municipality’s tender process, registration on our database, the correct way of completing bid documents, tender disqualifying factors and the general conditions of tender will be discussed.
“I am sure that our efforts will definitely add value for companies because the performance management of service providers, the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act (PPPFA) and the right to dispute will also be raised during the engagement sessions.
“Furthermore, it is part of our broader strategy to ensure that we are much more accessible to companies.
“Companies are welcome to attend at a venue that is convenient to them,” Cllr Naran added.
