Observations• Expenditure has been slow to pick up across all sectors -

the momentum is been slow to build up due to late project starting times (expenditure in subsequent months is affected)

• Total expenditure at 39% (with 50% of the time gone) versus 28.7% for the same period last year

• Spending on PIG is at 30% versus 23.8% for the same period last year

• When rollovers and other adjustments are considered, picture changes for the worse

• With total spending going down to 32% (2005/06: 24.9%) and PIG to 23.1% (2005/06: 23.0%)

Page 16: 1 Limpopo Provincial Treasury Presentation to the NCOP 20 November 2006

16

Observations• Spending on capital continues to be a

challenge• Key hiccups identified are:

– Infrastructure planning (selection of the projects and business cases not done on time etc.)

– Delay in the procurement processes – Delays to handover sites due to geo-tech

assessment tests being performed just before construction as a result of poor planning

• Departments not meeting their own cash flow by projections

Page 17: 1 Limpopo Provincial Treasury Presentation to the NCOP 20 November 2006

17

Corrective action

• Multi-year planning processes need to be strengthened within departments (to avoid procurement of projects in year of implementation)

• Departments need to review their technical capacity requirements, i.e. staff

• Close monitoring and imposition of heavy penalties on underperforming contractors

Page 18: 1 Limpopo Provincial Treasury Presentation to the NCOP 20 November 2006

18

Corrective action cont.• Education• The department has procured the services of a short-term Technical

Assistant to support infrastructure delivery in the department • The department has also advertised (June 06) for the services of an

infrastructure operational support team (short-term). The bid was evaluated in October and an award will be made in due course.

• Health & Social Development• Close monitoring of implementing agents and contractors. • With hospital projects, these have been packaged in two lots to

speed up delivery.• Established developers are being encouraged to form joint ventures

with CIDB registered emerging contractors.

Page 19: 1 Limpopo Provincial Treasury Presentation to the NCOP 20 November 2006

19

Corrective action cont.• Agriculture• A work scheduled was drawn up proposing for the service providers

to do resource audit as well as drawing a Masterplan within 15 days on whose basis explicit permission would be given for final designs and actual physical implementation of projects. Again it took a long time for service providers to comply.

• Due to the above problems, a decision was taken to break the Masterplans into implementable elements without compromising the quality and integrity of the whole project. Items such as soil and land surveys, enlargement and lining of leydams, repairing of bulk water conveyance systems and repair or replacement of pumps is now done separately.

• The analysis of the unit costs submitted by Service Providers during tendering has been completed and one-to-one meetings have been arranged with Service Providers. Resolution of this matter will help expedite the submission of acceptable Bills of Quantity (BoQ) costs and speedy processing of invoices.

Page 20: 1 Limpopo Provincial Treasury Presentation to the NCOP 20 November 2006

20

Corrective action cont.

• Agriculture…• An additional engineer from ARDC (state-owned

entity within the department) has been drafted in to help with the processing of designs and related technical work.

• The Bid Committee has ratified the appointment of the Construction Supervision Service Provider in yet another effort to expedite projects implementation

Page 21: 1 Limpopo Provincial Treasury Presentation to the NCOP 20 November 2006

21

Corrective action cont.• Roads & Transport• Proactive management of projects, e.g. shifting of funds to fast-

moving multi-year projects that are already running when delays are encountered in new projects.

• The projects are outsourced to the private sector with the Roads Agency doing project management. This enables the department to deliver much quicker, despite the legal challenges experienced this year which delayed project implementation, the department projects to spend all its budget.

• The department has a very good project management capability within the Roads Agency.

• In the prior financial year, some districts in the province experienced very heavy rains and this affected certain projects, this was also compounded with the fact that most of the big contracts were awarded in September. The department was still able to spend 95% of its budget.

Page 22: 1 Limpopo Provincial Treasury Presentation to the NCOP 20 November 2006

22

Corrective action cont.• Infrastructure Delivery Improvement Programme (IDIP)• Phase II of IDIP has commenced (November 2006)• Two Technical Assistants (TAs) have been seconded to

the departments of Public Works and Education • The TAs will help the departments streamline planning

and delivery processes during the 12 month Technical Assistance programme

• This intervention is expected to have an impact on infrastructure expenditure and delivery in the medium to long-term as it seeks to address systemic shortcomings in departments’ infrastructure delivery mechanisms, e.g. planning processes, procurement planning, capacity issues, etc;

Page 23: 1 Limpopo Provincial Treasury Presentation to the NCOP 20 November 2006

23

Corrective action cont.• IDIP…..• A TA will be deployed to the department of Health in the

new year• The Department of Roads & Transport enjoys limited

support from a Technical Assistant stationed at National Treasury.

• IDIP also seeks to institutionalize multi-year planning processes in departments to prevent planning, procurement and implementation being done in the same year - this inevitably leads delays. IDIP extends planning horizons of departments.

• It is expected that once departments are fully aligned with IDIP principles (e.g. proactive multi-year planning), under-expenditure will be eliminated.

Conditional Grant reasons for under spending

Page 26: 1 Limpopo Provincial Treasury Presentation to the NCOP 20 November 2006

26

Reasons for underspending provided by the department

Education• HIV & AIDS• Programmes and workshops are run and conducted only

during school holidays thus hampering substantial progress as the same target group is trained on Revised National Curriculum Statement which is a national priority.

• National School Nutrition Programme• There is always delays in submission of supplier’s

invoices and some of those submitted are erroneous and have to be referred back for rectification thus causing delays in processing payments.

Page 27: 1 Limpopo Provincial Treasury Presentation to the NCOP 20 November 2006

27

Reasons for underspending provided by the department--contd

• Health• HIV and AIDS• Enormous exercise of verification and payment processes of 287

NGO’s at R 12,5million per quarter• Delay in filling of vacant posts for which interviews were conducted.

Recommended candidates had to serve notices at their previous workstations.

• Delay in completion of fixed structures (Buildings/Containers) intended to increase working space.

• 26 Buildings/Containers on construction. Payment progress certificates started in the second quarter.

• Shortage of qualified medical personnel in posts earmarked for ARV and Step Down Facilities

Page 28: 1 Limpopo Provincial Treasury Presentation to the NCOP 20 November 2006

28

schemes. R100 mil was budgeted for installation of infield infrastructure. The plan envisaged the appointment of Turnkey Service Providers by 1st April 2006 to perform work on 57 schemes some of whom were work carried over from 2005.

• Due to the experience of 2005 where-in it was found that Service Providers were using dubious prices and unacceptable mark-ups, it was decided to include the provision of pre-approved unit prices by prospective bidders during the tendering stage.
