Abstract
South Africa is embarking upon significant policy reform initiatives related to public sector procurement. The conceptual framework that underpins the reconstruction and development programme in South Africa is addressed and the role of the construction industry in South Africa is considered, together with some of the current problems which face the sector. The procurement reform process currently taking place in South Africa is also addressed, including the primary objectives of this initiative and some of the specific focus areas which pertain to the construction industry.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
