There has been much speculation, innuendos, and conjectures in the market over the recent suspension of the EOH contract by the Department of Labour (DoL). Labour Minister Mildred Oliphant’s has since given assurance that all due supply chain management (SCM) processes were followed when invoking the termination support.
Therefore, DoL Director-General Nkosinathi Nhleko will tomorrow, 14 May in an attempt to respond to the dilemma, address a media briefing to respond to issues surrounding the recent termination, update on the department’s progress since the winding of the public private partnership (PPP) with Siemens and the department’s future ICT plans.
Also, the department’s contractual agreement with the transaction advisor PWC has been finalised and the process is thus resumed and the department anticipates going out on tender by July 2013.
Further details will be presented by Nhleko tomorrow.
Details for the media briefing are as follows:
Date: 14 May 2013
Time: 10h00
Venue: Room G01, Ground Floor, Laboria House 215 Corner Francis Baard (Schoeman Street) and Paul Kruger Street, Pretoria.
