13 November 2017 - NW3173
Xalisa, Mr Z R to ask the Minister of Environmental Affairs
(1)What are the details including the ranks of service providers and/or contractors from which (a) her department and (b) the entities reporting to her procured services in the past five years; (2) what (a) service was provided by each service provider and/or contractor and (b) amount was each service provider and/or contractor paid; (3) (a) how many of these service providers are black-owned entities, (b) what contract was each of the black-owned service providers awarded and (c) how much was each black-owned service provider paid?
Reply:
(1)– (3) The Department’s database does not rank the service providers. However, the information relative to the bids awarded by the Department and its entities is published in the media from which they are advertised such as:
- Government Tender Bulletin
- E-tender portal (National Treasury)
- Departmental Website
The Member is also referred to the Annual Reports of both the Department and its entities of over the past five years as these would also have an indication of the procurements that the Auditor-General would have delivered his opinion on.
