The Province worked on the restoration of sound and legal procurement practices and establishing a centre to manage transversal contracts. As at April 2013, transversal contracts were being put in place primarily to leverage economies of scale and to limit space for possible corruption. This was happening in security and banking services. It was expected that the banking and the transversal security contracts would be in place by 01 May 2013. Other areas being earmarked for this initiative were travel and accommodation.
