2 Goods and services reflect an increase in expenditure due to the payment of accruals carried through from the previous financial year and annual escalation on property leases. • A decrease in advertising expenditure was due to utilisation of various panels for appointment of service providers instead of media advertising. • In line with the Departmental policy, minor assets are replaced every two years, bulk purchases were done in the previous financial year. • In the year under review the were no new bursaries awarded, however the Department continue to maintain payments of the current bursary holders. • In line with cost containment guideline the Department reduced spending on non-core items such as catering. • Implementation of business continuity plan/ remote working has resulted in less utilisation of telephone lines under communications. • Computer services related to payment of SITA for back up, disaster recovery and hosting Departmental servers and procurement of software used by property management, engineers, and architects for designing and planning. The current financial year the D epartment did not pay for Microsoft licences which will be paid in the next financial year.
