Procurement Disclosure Report reveals R1.787 billion spent on Covid-19

For the period 01 April 2020 to 30 November 2020, provincial departments’ total COVID-19 expenditure is R1.787 billion, and provincial public entities’ total COVID-19 expenditure is R2.91 million.

Of the total spent on Covid-19 expenditure, R819.03 million or 45.82% was spent on SMMEs by departments and public entities in the Western Cape. The national target requires that 30% of spend goes to SMMEs via sub-contracting mechanisms, and so the Western Cape Government has exceeded this target through direct procurement for the period. 

The Procurement Disclosure Report details all personal protective equipment (PPE) procurement and expenditure in the Western Cape in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, in a regular and standardised report that is made available on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis to the public.
