Reasons for under-spending reported by the PoNW included seven infrastructural projects that were incomplete and the late appointment of service providers to supply vehicles, mobile library buses and security for community libraries. The PoNW reported that there was insufficient capacity in the Supply Chain Management Unit which has resulted in tender processes being delayed. As a remedial measure to this, the PoNW reported that a tender committee was established, it started its operations in February 2010 and is functional.
