The Gauteng Provincial Treasury is seeking professional services to train municipalities’ and municipal entities officials on all the 16 CHAPTERS of Municipal Financial Management Act (MFMA) and all eight (8) related Regulations. We therefore wish to invite proposals from bidders to render this training to the municipalities as well as provincial government officials. The MFMA was adopted by Parliament on 26 November 2003, and assented to by the President on 9 February 2004, as published in Government Gazette 26019. The MFMA applies to all municipalities and municipal entities. It also applies to national and provincial governments, departments and public entities, to the extent that they have financial dealings with municipalities. However, GPT has established through its in-year reporting and Auditor General’s audit findings that municipalities still experience challenges in the interpretation and application of the MFMA. It is against the background provided above that the Gauteng Provincial Treasury seeks to appoint a suitable service provider to provide training to our municipalities. The training to be rolled out must be very intensive and targeted to assist the municipalities in addressing the challenges experienced in the implementation and compliance with the MFMA.
