During the year under review, the Department continued in its overachievement towards Black- and Black Women-Owned Enterprises. Although the target for People with Disabilities and Military Veterans has not been met there is a proportion of procurement that is channelled towards this group. The Department is still met with a challenge as far as attaining the target for youth owned enterprises but remains confident that joint ventures with this group could increase procurement channeled towards the youth. The engagements with communities that SCM will undertake would be to educate the communities on compliance as it relates to the tender and quotation processes. This is an attempt to increase the number underperforming groups, such as township based, MVs and PwDs, to participate in the tender process or submit quotes and additionally that the documents submitted will be compliant.
