GDID ANNUAL REPORT 2024/25

Strategy to overcome areas of underperformance The Department spent 100% of its allocated budget for the sub-programme. Some of the major non-achievements include the inability to sufficiently reduce the amount of fruitless and wasteful expenditure, which was due to interest charged on court orders, mainly from health projects. The strategy to overcome areas of underperformance, the Department had an intense engagement with the Provincial Treasury on these matters and for the year 2025/26, there is a budget allocated for litigation matters and in the future, the use of the arbitration process should reduce interest on these matters. Further, the Department is stimulating procurement towards military-veteran companies by encouraging main contractors to appoint firms owned by military veterans for projects where mandatory subcontracting is applicable. Performance in relation to Standardised Outputs and Output Indicators for Sectors with Concurrent Functions During the 2024/25 financial year, there were no standardised outputs and output indicators that the Department was reporting on. 4.2 Programme 2: Public Works Infrastructure The purpose of the Public Works Programme is to provide the core services that are mandated to the Department. This includes the planning, design, and construction of infrastructure projects; the implementation of maintenance projects; property management (immovable asset management); facilities management; and the provision of infrastructure research, policies, and systems. Within the GPG, the DID has been delegated by EXCO as the sole implementer of infrastructure and maintenance projects on behalf of all GPG Departments. Maintenance projects include renovations, refurbishments, and upgrades. In the case of the Gauteng Department of Health, it also includes the implementation of day-to-day, routine/preventative, and emergency maintenance at all health facilities in the province, except for Jubilee Hospital and Odi Hospital, which are maintained by the Gauteng Department of Health. The DID manages the construction procurement projects for Provincial Departments and issues framework/term contracts for day-to-day, routine/preventative maintenance when required for all Provincial Departments. This also includes the maintenance and estate management services provided for shared offices, the Premier’s residence, and offices used by the DID itself. The Department also uses immovable assets for its own functioning. The Programme is also responsible for managing the immovable assets of the GPG as the provincial custodian. It manages and plans for effective and efficient utilisation of immovable assets, management of leases, estates, and payment of creditors for allocated areas, management of acquisition and disposal of immovable properties, and facilitation of property development.
