Maintenance Component
• 51 ECD centres could not receive water tanks due to non-performance by service provider.
Administration Component
• The Quantity Surveyor Assistant Director post was budgeted for but appointment was not made due to Provincial Treasury restrictions.
ECD Stimulus package
• Payments could not be authorised for some of the ECD centres due to non-compliance with the Central Supplier Database.
• Physical verification for unregistered ECD centres had to also be conducted affecting payment authorisation massively.
The Department uses monthly, quarterly and in year monitoring reports.
