One SMME with no website or online presence received just under half of the R682.5 million that the provincial government spent on personal protective equipment (PPE).
This from supplying just one of the 13 provincial departments, according to the latest Procurement Disclosure Report.
Asked about the department’s relationship with the company, WCED spokesperson Bronagh Hammond said the department had an existing contract with Masiqhame Trading 1057 CC for the supply of cleaning, gardening and electrical supplies.“The contract was concluded in 2017, through a competitive bidding process, and is awarded for a period of three years. It expires on September 30.
“It is too convenient for WCED to hide behind a single contract concluded pre-Covid and the lockdown period,” said Sayed.
