SCM Functional environment

• Highly regulated and legislated environment – Objective is to comply and prevent any irregular expenditure
• High demand unit – Most activity of the NCPL involves SCM
• Timing of need for Goods and Services in execution of mandate creates tension between various objectives
  
  - E.g. Public Participation requires an event at a remote or rural area, where there is no compliant service providers on the database in that area
  - Tension exists between the objective of the success the event and the objective of compliance
  - Causes of tension:
  • Long turnaround time for decision making
  • Section 76 bills with short mandates deadlines
  • Last minute submissions to SCM
