PPRA vows to crack down on tender malpractice

In an interview with BusinessWeek, the CEO of the one-year old regulator, Tumelo Motsumi said that the Authority is aware of concerns about poor delivery of projects by contractors as well as the swelling number of projects that cannot be completed due to litigation tussles by contractors.

“Contract management has been a big issue for us in the country but we have powers as the Authority through the Procurement act to deal with incompliant behaviour. “We have in the past de-registered companies due to incompliant behaviour and we will continue to do so,” she said.
