1 March 2022

The Provincial Treasury is pleased to publish the twentieth monthly edition of the Procurement Disclosure Report for the period 01 January 2022 to 31 January 2022. This is in line with the requirements of section 217 of the South African Constitution and demonstrates our continued commitment to good governance and transparency in public procurement in the Western Cape.

Total COVID-19 procurement expenditure for January 2022 amounted to R74,702 million of which R74,697 million was spent by provincial departments and R5,157.75 by public entities.

Cumulative COVID-19 expenditure for 2021/22 financial year amounts to R749,710 million of which R749,055 million was spent by provincial departments and R655,223.31 by public entities

Most of the expenditure for the month of January 2022 was incurred by the Departments of Health, Transport and Public Works and Premier. The expenditure of the Department of Health focussed on personal protective equipment (PPE), non-PPE expenditure and the vaccination rollout programme; the Department of Transport and Public Works on non - PPE expenditure such as the hire of Brackengate hospital facilities, the CTICC as a mass vaccination site, human resources, transport services and accommodation; and the Department of the Premier on COVID-19 related communication and advertising services in respect of prevention, awareness and behaviour change.

The monthly reporting has been expanded to include quarterly and annual reports to the public, oversight bodies and other interested parties with information on Western Cape Government public procurement activities related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Provincial Treasury is, therefore, also pleased to publish the quarter three PDR for the period 01 October 2021 to 31 December 2021.
