MFMA SCM PPOS = NDP, 2013-2030
Fix the engine room to get SA growing says Manuel” – Business Day, 12 March 2013
It is the contestation of Minister T Manuel, Minister in the Presidency, that the implementation
of the National Development Plan [NDP] depends on fixing the machinery of the state, so
that it delivers efficiently. He is of the opinion that economic development in a developmental
State cannot be achieved if the ‘engine room’ does not work.
He also states that the search for quick fixes has diverted attention from more fundamental
priorities and this create instability in organisational structures and policy approaches that
further strain limited capacity
The approach of the Treasury is to assist in fixing the Engine Room by providing practical
tools related to a sound SCM System which is fair, equitable, transparent, competitive and
cost-effective whilst at the same time ensuring BBBEE

decisions taken, but will have to confirm that:
•Due process was followed in awarding the tender, i.e. all relevant legal
prescripts were complied with; and

followed such due process.
