PFMA Bid Committees Training Services

The Education, Training and Development Practices Sector Education and Training Authority (ETDP SETA) is inviting proposals from experienced service providers to deliver comprehensive training on PFMA Bid Committees. This training is aimed at 45 Supply Chain Management (SCM) practitioners, senior managers, and technical specialists to ensure they are well-versed in the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) requirements and best practices in bid committee operations. The training will cover essential topics such as the roles and responsibilities of the Bid Specification Committee, Bid Evaluation Committee, and Bid Adjudication Committee, ensuring participants can effectively contribute to transparent and compliant procurement processes.

The training is non-credit bearing and will span a maximum of five days, culminating in the issuance of certificates to successful participants. Providers must demonstrate prior experience in similar training and possess the necessary accreditation as per SAQA unit standard 337061. This initiative aims to strengthen the skills profile within the education and training sector, aligning with the National Skills Development Strategy III, and ultimately enhancing service delivery in public procurement.
