FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO SPENDING OF THE GRANT • Capital Projects suspended due to: • insufficient funds in 2009/10 financial year • non-performance of Service Providers (Consultants and Contractors) • budget over commitment • There’s extra burden of going back to complete incomplete work before starting any new work. • Approved Projects list for PRMG are not a true reflection of the actual work on the ground. • Allocation to North West Province is not sufficient to deal speedily with the current backlogs.

FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO SPENDING OF THE GRANT Treasury Supply Chain Management Processes The possible delays in spending the current budget because of the National Treasury Instruction Note affecting bid in excess of R 10 million. Unbundling of projects to allow maximum participation of Emerging Consultants and Constructors maybe construed as avoiding submission of bids over R 10 million to Treasury.
