In an effort to ensure common understanding and approach and maximum beneficiation in the in-sourcing of Eastern Cape Provincial Government Fleet Management Services, Transport MEC Thandiswa Marawu will host a two-day Seminar at the Regent Hotel, in East London on 14 and 15 February 2012 at 9h00.
The purpose of the seminar is to bring on board all relevant role players, including public and private, as provincial government pursues a new path in an effort to improve the management and utilisation of Government fleet services.
This arrangement is in line with the concept of the developmental state, which encourages the improvement of the technical capacity of the state so as to encourage the in-sourcing of government operational services.
Through outsourcing, the provincial government lost its capacity to immediately perform the fleet management function by itself. Skills had been lost, not only of management and other clerical functions but also mechanical skills.
Provincial Government has appointed a service provider, namely, First Auto who has been awarded the Fuel, Repair and Maintenance contract by National Treasury to ensure continuation of the services without disruption in the areas of fuelling, repairing and maintenance, which will continue as normal just through the utilisation of the First Auto Fuel Card and all calls will be addressed through their call centre number 086 010 2393.
Also expected to attend are interested small, medium and micro enterprise.
