Summary analysis on YTD results – 31Dec2015
• Transfers for the three quarters were in line with official
appropriation at R50, 8 million or 75% of total annual allocation.
Other income of about R1, 5 million includes R951, 000 donation
from SABC for the Women month and 16 days activities during the
year under review. The remainder is largely interest income from
cash held in the current account at the bank.
• Total expenditure was R51, 4 m (9 months) compared to R54 m in
the previous year (same period). The overall spending is within
revenue recorded in the 9 months’ period resulting to a net surplus
of R876, 870. The surplus is attributable to efficiency gains in the
main.
• It is projected that by the end of the financial year, the
Commission’s spending will be within budget.

Corporate Services overview
• Supply Chain Management
• Fleet Management
• Facilities and office accommodation
15
SCM – Demand Management
• Supplier database – New circular from National Treasury re- Centralised
Supplier Database effective from 1 April 2016. Transitional activities
must be undertaken during 4th quarter.
• Additional needs identified includes material and training manual
(content) development for PEI by third party provider. Specifications in
this regard were compiled for sourcing during Q4.
• As part of the aggregate procurement plan for the year, the
procurement of copier machines is still pending the decision by NT
(office of the Procurement Officer) on a transversal contract, therefore
current lease is operative on a yearly extended basis ( compliant with
guidelines/instruction notes)
• Demand planning activities for new year will take place alongside the
APP planning cycle activities
16
SCM – Acquisition Management
• New travel agency was awarded a three year contract during December
2015 to commence operations from 1 January 2016. Previous contract
formally lapsed and the change over to new provider occurred with
success/no exception or challenge. Final but insignificant settlement of
the latter’s outstanding accounts during Jan to Feb 2016 due to time
lags due to commercial practice ( Agent awaits billing from providers
before invoice made out to CGE).
• There has not been any deviations recorded for the acquisition on any
goods and services during this quarter.
• No irregular expenditure, whatsoever was identified/recorded during
the period to 31 December 2015.
17
SCM – Performance Management
• Contract register reviewed during the quarter under review.
Corrective action taken on all anomalies ; not only ensure
compliance but effective contract management for the effective
performance of the CGE business
• An offer from a winning bid (for the supply of laptops) was
terminated because the provider could not deliver according to
the bid specifications. A new RFQ was issued, adjudicated and
delivery taken in January/February 2016. Therefore performance
on all IT project related supplier contracts is fulfilled in line with
contractual obligations and corresponding performance standards
18
SCM – Disposal Management
•
•
•
•
HQ old, scrap and technologically obsolete assets were disposed at gross
proceeds of R11, 000
Disposals for items held in provincial offices will be dealt with by provinces
directly in consultation with the Disposal Committee of the CGE. The
processes are underway for completion by 29 February 2016.
The second phase for the disposal of IT equipment is currently underway
where the method of disposal is through donations to institutions of
learning (in line with CGE policy and National Treasury Regulations). The
beneficiaries are been identified amongst local stakeholders for ratification
by Committee and approval by CEO by the first week of March 2016.
In terms of the schedule, all assets eligible for disposal shall be cleared
from the fixed assets register by close of the financial year (at reporting
date)
19
SCM – Logistics Management….1
• Fleet management – concerns remain around the effectiveness of
management enforcement of controls. The issue of consequence
management highlighted to responsible line managers and PC’s. There
are specific investigations into incidents that resulted in dents for two
provincial vehicles:
– Limpopo
– Pretoria
• Tracking system will be upgraded to include functionalities that could
assist fleet management controls (such as history on
driving/behaviour/speed, e.t.c)
• Assets management – A physical verification of all CGE assets
commences effective from week ending 12 February 2016 and shall
carry over the end of the month.
20
SCM – Logistics Management….2
Office Accommodation:
• The Eastern Cape and Pretoria offices are destined to change premises by
the beginning of the new financial year(1 April 2016).
– Floor plans discussed with owners/lessors and agreed for development already
– Branding of offices and IT cabling discussed and planned into the logistics
• A proposal from the Free State office to move floor to the ground level is
being evaluated ( Cost and benefit analysis). The proposal promises to
improve accessibility by public.
• Still awaiting NDPW on developments regarding the HQ procurement
instruction. The office lease was extended for 18 months since April 2015 to
cover the period of procurement. The schedule overrun will be followed
through during the quarterly bilateral meeting with NDPW’s Key Account
Management to held in March 2016.

• Eastern Cape, Free state and
Western Cape spending higher
than average mainly due to
expenses incurred for
maintenance & repairs to old
fleet. The old fleet is been
assessed for layoff/disposal
since its retention appears
uneconomic and cost
ineffective.
• It costs on average R5,400 per
quarter to run and maintain a
vehicle without taking
depreciation expense into
account

letter. The budget and schedule was duly approved by the
Audit committee
• Currently underway is the IS audit co-sourced with internal
