Reasons for underspending & under delivery
(Siyadlala MPP)
Delays in the appointment of coordinators hampered service delivery and affected the cash flow and attainment of the Key Performance Indicators as reflected in the Provincial business plan.
Delays with the finalisation of the employment contract for coordinators delayed the appointment process of coordinators. Contracts finalised end of June 2006.
The cost of procuring sport equipment necessitates that tender procedures in line with Supply Chain Management Framework have to be followed.
