Procurement practices<br />

As an entity of government we strive to increase the proportion<br />

of our procurement spend with black-owned suppliers, black<br />

women-owned suppliers and qualifying small enterprise<br />

suppliers, as well as with youth. Testimony to this, our<br />

procurement spend for the year is 30% and 27% with women<br />

and youth respectively. Whilst we have continued to increase<br />

procurement from black women-owned suppliers, we need to<br />

grow this further. This will be our focus for <strong>2016</strong>/17.<br />
