Kindly note that National Treasury Instruction Note 3 of 2021/2022 paragraph 6 states that, should an organ of state opt to restrict the contractor and or any other persons from obtaining a business with the public sector, the relevant institution must:
- Inform the contractor or person(s) of the intention to impose a restriction, provide the reasons for such decision and the envisaged period of restriction.
- Allow the contractor and or person (s) to provide reasons why the envisaged restriction should not be imposed.
- Consider any reasons submitted by the contractor and or person in terms of two bullets;
- Inform the National Treasury such imposition of the name of the restricted person(s), the reasons for restriction, the period of restriction and the date of commencement of restriction ( date, month and year).
- National Treasury will then consider the submission by an Accounting Officer/Authority then list the affected contractor and or person (s) to provide reasons.
Summarily: Government institutions that utilized services of such a contractor and or person (s) must follow the National Treasury Instruction Note 3 of 2021/2022 paragraph 6 and finally send the submission to the National Treasury; without that submission National Treasury would not be able to finalize any restriction of suppliers.
