16 Programme 5: Programme 5: Auxiliary and Associated Services Highlights/Achievements Infrastructure support - Infrastructure support provided to 6 Prestige Events against a target of 2 Prestige Events. This represents significant over achievement
17 Performance Challenges There are challenges with the appointment of service providers in areas where certain scarce skills are required. This then contributes to delays in achieving the set targets or under- performance In areas (example immovable Asset management) where there are dependencies from external stakeholders or departments, delays or non corporation is often a challenge resulting in non- achievements of targets. This is also applicable to policy and EPWP. The underperformance in projects was characterised by a number of delays during planning stage resulting in the extension of contract duration Capacity and Budget constraints in some areas continue to be a hindrance to performance. There are challenges with the current business model/value chain. This requires a review of the individual units’ value chains and craft an integrated business model that will address fragmentation and duplications. The value chain will also assist in addressing the skewness between core and support areas. This process is underway through the development of a Service Delivery Model as well as the implementation of the Infrastructure Delivery Management System (IDMS)
18 General Remarks While acknowledging the challenges in the Department, there is some improvement in other programmes The Department has taken into consideration the recommendations by the Portfolio Committee on Public Works, Parliament of South Africa regarding the quality of the reports Throughout the financial year, while taking these contributions into account, the Department continues to find ways of improving in areas of concern and effectively contribute to service delivery

Notes to the expenditure 36 Guideline expenditure as at the end of March 2015: 100% Cleaning and gardening: The expenditure was lower than expected at the end of the fourth quarter (although it was significantly better than the previous year) due to some contracts being awarded later than originally planned. The expenditure will improve in the next year due to contracts now being in place Operating leases: The budget was fully spent Repair and Renovations: This budget is based on projects on different levels of implementation. This include planning, procurement and construction. Measures have been put in place to monitor these projects, identify any actual or potential blockages and to resolve it. The expenditure on this item improved significantly compared to the previous financial year
Notes to the expenditure - continued 37 Maintenance: This expenditure item represents maintenance of a current nature and consists mainly of day-to-day repairs and service contracts (repeated maintenance to installations). The allocation was fully spent. Property Rates: Expenditure on this item has improved significantly due to interventions to identify and process outstanding claims from municipalities. Not all claims were processed before year-end, hence the under-expenditure. All outstanding claims will be settled early in the new financial year. Corporate Services: This expenditure item relates mainly to computer services. Some of the ordered equipment was only delivered after the financial year-end.
