(d) Measures taken to mitigate such issues in future tourism related contracts
I have been informed that the Department has aligned its processes to the Framework for Infrastructure Delivery and Procurement Management (FIPDM), and also partnered with the Development Bank of South Africa (DBSA) which has requisite built environment capacity and is assisting the Department with the following:
a) Provision of infrastructure delivery, including planning, design and construction through a multi-disciplinary team of professionals and technical specialists and
b) Exercising effective project controls, monitoring and reporting in line with applicable norms and standards.
c) I have met with DBSA to discuss the poor performance and advised the Department to establish a project management unit to conduct oversight.
