Maimane: Digital portal needed to track awarding of tenders

Digital Portal Needed to Track Tender Awards

Standing Committee on Appropriations chairperson Mmusi Maimane has called for an electronic portal to track government-awarded tenders.

Maimane, leader of Build One South Africa, believes a public portal will enhance transparency, allowing citizens to receive regular updates on tender progress and contract awards.

Imagine if a South African was sitting at Tembisa Hospital and was able to go, fine, I'm sitting here, there are no medicines, yet a tender was issued to ensure that medicines are being delivered here. I can log on to my phone and know which company it is so that I can trigger the mechanisms.

Maimane suggests a portal where citizens can access information on tender awards and track progress.
