Extensions to expired tenders are given on a month-to-month basis to allow departments to fast-track and finalize new bids.

“From the extension , Chair , if you look at our extension notices , in some instances , it is on a month-to-month basis . It is not really a blanket approach of saying you will now automatically get the new 800 million as the old bidders . It is a month-to-month where we still give departments an opportunity to fast-track and finalise this process .”

Departments have full authority to engage the Chief Audit Executive to put systems in place to fast-track procurement matters where there are delays.
