The global market of today is characterised by fierce
competition which has heightened customer expectations and forced business
enterprises to invest in, and focus attention on, their supply chains. This,
together with continuing advances in information and communication technology,
has motivated the continuous evolution of the supply chain and of the
techniques to manage it effectively. In South Africa, the public sector is
confronted with supply chain skill and capacity shortages. Hence there is a
need for continuous learning and development of supply chain staff to maintain
a feasible fit between government institutions’ objectives, skills and
resources and a changing procurement environment. Public
procurement and supply chain management will help to accelerate much-needed
transformation in the public sector in this regard.
Public
procurement and supply chain management provides new ideas, concepts, case
studies and practical experiences regarding public sector supply chains.
