PUBLIC SECTOR PROCUREMENT: EFF SUBMITS DRAFT INSOURCING BILL TO PARLIAMENT

A draft Insourcing Bill has been submitted to Parliament for information and planning purposes. It has yet to e certified by the Office of the State Law Adviser, at which point the Bill will be formally tabled.

Prepared on behalf of the EFF’s Omphile Maotwe, the proposed new piece of legislation seeks to provide for the insourcing of certain services regularly required by organs of state. Among other things, this is noting :

  • ‘administrative problems’ apparently associated with the outsourcing of services, and
  • widespread perceptions of tender system ‘corruption’.

Against that backdrop, the draft Bill includes provisions requiring the development of an ‘insourcing policy’ focusing on a list of services largely outsourced at present. As far as can be ascertained, the proposed new piece of legislation was never released into the public domain for comment. Neither has the required explanatory summary been gazetted.
