Interventions. 1. Door to balloon time
Interventions. Each of the Signatory Parties shall be considered as having sought intervenor status in the 2009 Rate Filing without the necessity of filing an application to intervene and KCPL consents in advance to such interventions. The Signatory Parties expect that the Commission’s standard procedures and rules will be applicable to this rate filing including public notice, local public hearings and evidentiary hearings at appropriate times and places, and an opportunity for interested parties other than the Signatory Parties to seek to intervene.
Interventions. Designation of certain locally produced goods for preferential procurement by organs of state is intended to boost local demand. Social partners agreed that current ‘designation’ processes are too slow and cumbersome to be effective. In addition, enforcement of compliance needs to be improved. Social partners agreed to strengthen, expand and fast-track additional local procurement of goods and services by Government through the implementation of the following measures: • Implementation of a set timeframe of 60 days for concluding the designation analysis, • Establishment of a standing list of industry experts to support the designation analysis and to play an advisory role in terms of the percentage local content to be set for designated products, • Implementation of a set timeframe of 30 days for the National Treasury to finalise and issue the circular for designated products; once the final agreed upon circular has been received by NT from the dti. • The dti to improve the capacity of the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) to certify local content and to consider allowing firms’ external auditors to verify local content, and • Establishment of a hotline to receive and deal with complaints on fraudulent claims of local content, claims that a tender specification is flawed, and claims that designations are being ignored or circumvented. Other social partners will support Government’s designation intervention through implementing the following measures: • Organised labour commits to train its affiliates on the successful SACTWU tender monitoring system in partnership with Proudly SA, and to proactively identify opportunities for new designations • Proudly SA working with the dti, National Treasury, provincial Treasuries and SALGA will roll out a nation-wide series of workshops and establish public sector procurement fora to educate procurement officials in the public sector including all municipalities on the localisation regulations. This with the intention of improving compliance by public sector procurement officials. • The Auditor-General of SA will specifically include the auditing of Departments’ procurement practices in its audit scope; this with the intention of enforcing compliance by public sector procurement officials. • Organised labour, Community and Business to support and communicate the details of the hotline to its members and constituency for tenders that seek to bypass local procurement regulations. Private sector procurement
Interventions. Companies will be encouraged to form partnerships with colleges that are in their geographic area/s and are able to offer the programmes that they require the applicants to their companies to have. • TVET colleges will offer the theoretical component of the programme (and practical if they already have the resources) and companies (and private providers as relevant) will offer the practical and workplace components. • The partnerships will focus on occupations in demand. • Social Partners will reach agreement on enrolment criteria, selection process and work readiness (building on successful models). • DHET will enable TVET colleges to effectively participate in this initiative (scheduling of lecturer workplace experience and encouraging practice). Factors critical for success DHET needs to ensure that the mechanisms for funding are put in place so as to enable funding from the xxxxxx and the levy to both support the implementation of these occupational programmes within the TVET Colleges (as outlined in the National Skills Development Plans) as well as generic trade preparation programmes (which includes an introduction to hand tools as well as work readiness).
