PFMA Compliance and What It Means for Suppliers Contracting with Gauteng National Departments

In 2026 the procurement landscape for general contractors in Gauteng is dominated by tighter fiscal oversight and an intensified focus on transformation. The Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) and the Public‑Private Partnership Act (PPPFA) have been amended to require full traceability of every expenditure, while the MFMA reinforces the need for transparent, value‑for‑money outcomes. For suppliers, non‑compliance is no longer a procedural hiccup; it is a direct barrier to winning contracts with national departments operating in Gauteng. Understanding and embedding these obligations is therefore essential for any contractor that wishes to remain competitive and avoid disqualification at the bid‑evaluation stage.
