Public Procurement Policy Colloquium

Theme: Strengthening Public Procurement for Good Governance, Accountability and Inclusive Economic Participation

The colloquium will bring together key stakeholders from government, state-owned entities, business, academia, civil society and SMMEs to engage in a strategic dialogue on South Africa’s evolving public procurement and public finance management landscape.

The engagement will focus on developments within the broader public finance management framework, including procurement governance, Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment, tender regulations, oversight mechanisms and the anticipated implications of the draft General Public Procurement Regulations 2026 under the Public Procurement Act 2024.

As South Africa continues to advance procurement reform, economic transformation and governance effectiveness, the colloquium will provide a structured platform to reflect on implementation gains, persistent challenges, governance risks and areas requiring policy refinement.

The discussion will place particular emphasis on transparency, accountability, efficiency and inclusive economic participation within the country’s public procurement system.
