Yako, Ms Y to ask the Minister of Trade and Industry
What (a) total amount has (i) his department and (ii) each of the entities reporting to him spent on (aa) cleaning, (bb) security and (cc) gardening services in the (aaa) 2017-18 and (bbb) 2018-19 financial years, (b) amount was paid to each service provider to provide each specified service and (c) total amount was paid to each of the service providers?
Reply:
The Department of Trade and Industry does not pay for these services individually to service providers, since it is participating in a Public Private Partnership Agreement as approved by the National Treasury. A unitary payment for an all-inclusive campus office accommodation, including services such as security, cleaning, gardening, is paid to the concessionaire party.
The Economic Development Department, Competition Tribunal, Companies Tribunal, and the International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC) occupy space at the dti campus and pays the dti a monthly facility fee which covers all expenses related to occupation, including cleaning, security and gardening.
In addition, we have requested information from public entities. Five of the replies are set out below. Additional information will be provided shortly.
