INTRODUCTION

Before we discuss your assignments and examination directly, I would like to make a few background remarks.

Public supply chain management, and specifically procurement, is a field that is constantly developing. Over the last few years the procurement and provisioning system of the state has been enriched by the ideas and practices of supply chain management. The amendments to the regulations which were made during 2003 are constantly being followed up by circulars/practice notes issued by National Treasury to further refine the system. You may wish to consult the excellent website of National Treasury for the latest developments in public supply chain management: http://www.treasury.gov.za. For the latest practice notes and circulars go to http://www.treasury.gov.za/divisions/sf/sc/default.aspx. Following up these references is not compulsory with a view to the exam. However, if you consult these sites regularly, you will become an expert!
