The above decision meant that the whole procurement process had to be started over again, including developing a Procurement Item List and holding information meetings in each district to discuss central procurement requirements. District coordinators had to collate schools' needs and submit documents to head office for further processing. The late return of documentation by schools and districts caused further delays. Special project plans for the installation of technology had to be developed, tenders prepared, advertised and awarded, and site meetings organised for potential service providers in the case of infrastructure projects.
