The Department of Mineral Resources wishes to alert all service providers that are registered on our database (as well as potential suppliers to any government department) that there is a syndicate that is currently ordering goods and services under the false pretence that this is being done by the department. We are calling on the service providers who are registered on the database of the department to be vigilant and not to be hoodwinked by the fraudulent actions of this syndicate.
We accordingly urge all service providers to contact the department when they receive either requests for quotations or government orders to confirm their authenticity.
For enquiries relating to matters that are raised in this statement, service providers are urged to contact our departmental supply chain management on 012 444 3045.
