Government has launched the Procurement Payments Dashboard to improve transparency and accountability in procurement, allowing the public to access an eTender Portal that lists its contracts with the private sector.
This was announced by Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana during the Medium Term Budget Policy Statement MTBPS in Parliament on Wednesday.
The dashboard will use data pulled from governments payments systems, including the Basic Accounting System BAS as well as the supplier database, supplemented by contract data reported on the eTender Portal and supplier information from the Central Supplier Database. The public will be able to access the eTender Portal and to search for specific data relating to contracts.
