The Committee recommends that: i) Departments must strengthen measures to ensure compliance with Supply Chain Management legislation; ii) When departments prepare lists of prospective suppliers they must require companies and CCs to disclose whether any of their directors, shareholders or members are employed in government, including the spouses and close relatives of employees; iii) Departments listed in the AG's report must investigate the possibility of preferential treatment or fraudulent action in the allocation of these tenders and action be taken. iv) All employees (designated or non-designated) who are in a position to influence the process whereby contracts or tenders are awarded must disclose details of their and their spouses directorships/CC memberships.
