The average rate of compliance to procurement rules relating to the evaluation of quotations was 54%. This was unacceptably low and indicates that the application of the criteria for awarding of orders for goods/services are not well controlled and monitored, and therefore could be prone to abuse. Gauteng provided the least amount of evidence, while Mpumulanga provided the most evidence for the evaluation of quotations. National level was only able to provide 38% evidence for evaluation of quotations.
