Value-driven procurement – reshaping strategy in 2026
Fiscal pressure and rising scrutiny are reshaping procurement into a value-driven discipline. Global public procurement spending is estimated to account for around 12% of GDP in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) economies. This underscores the scale and strategic importance of how governments and organisations spend money.

They argue that Parliament failed to facilitate reasonable public participation on material amendments, as required by section 59(1)(a) of the Constitution. That judgment is still pending.
